| Driving slowly in traffic down a hill my steering wheel, gear shift and brakes locked up. immediately my generator light came on on my dashboard. i managed to pull over and somehow get the car in park. i turned the car off and realized through my manual my generator light was on. i opened the hood and couldn't see anything. when turning the car back on the light went off and everything was fine. that monday i took the car to my dealership where i bought it and they told me they checked everything. put the car up to a computer, drove it around, test everything couldn't find anything. i haven't had a problem since but something had to occur for this to happen. i am please with my car otherwise. just hope this never happens again. it couldn't be weather related because it was neither super warm or super cold it was approximately 50 degrees fahrenheit. fortunately i was stuck in traffic otherwise if i was driving the speed limit this could have ended up very badly possibly even fatal. | |||
