WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURS ONE CAN NOT CONTROL THE CAR, CAN NOT BRAKE, CAN NOT ACCELERATE, IT JUST FREEZES, AND STALLS ON YOU.

ONE DAY AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, ALMOST EVERY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, SUSPENSION DID NOT INFLATE TO NORMAL HEIGHT, PARKING BRAKE STAYED ON, AND DISPLAY SHOWED "HDC FAILURE." RESTARTING VEHICLE FIXED THE PROBLEM. ARE THEY USING WINDOWS NOW? *JB
