What owners wrote
The first time my car stalled I was in the high way in the middle lane and my car stopped working, all the light came on and my radio turned off and my clock reset it self. The second time it was the same day while I was exiting on the highway, in addition I put press the accelerate it would not response. In addition when I would press the brakes the music would go down at times.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 honda accord. While driving 30 MPH, the power steering seized, the brakes locked and failed to respond, and the vehicle stalled.
