Went to go get gas driving the 2010 dodge journey sxt. Corner of villa and north av. In villa park , illinois filled my gas tank up pulled out of the gas station. Within 100 feet of driving away from the gas station my cars electrical system started to malfunction. Meaning windshield wipers going, horn going off, dash board lights flashing all lighting up, etc. Car power steering cuts off and acceleration shuts off. I had to coast my car into an empty parking lot to asset the situation.
