While driving on parkway, battery light saver comes on car, instrument panel goes hay wire just starts lighting up gauges going crazy. Steering wheel locks up car cuts off, lucky I was the only vehicle on the road manage to stop car bye hitting a embankment, when I pulled over black smoke was coming from the hood. Could smell something electric burning. Car cut off and would not start had toed to the dealer.
While driving a red low battery light comes on while driving on the highway...car starts to shut down and I find a sage location....as I pull to a sage location car losses control...the steering wheel locks up and it will not shift into park...this goes on for 5 min as the car is turning wind sheild wipers on and radio flickers on by it self...so I replace battery and proceed to drive home...I get about 20 min down the road and it proceeds to happen agin...not only does the headkights cut iff at night...but MPH…
