Owner report 11436643 · 2021-10-13 (October 13, 2021)
I was driving my car and in the middle of me driving it completely stalled out in the middle of the road. I was lucky enough to hurry and put it in park before my brakes and gas locked on me. I turned the car off and turned it back on but was unsuccessful in getting the car to do anything except for drift back into traffic. I was stranded in the middle of the road and needed triple A to come and help. It completely stalled out.
