If someone were coming across the driveway they would have hit me or if someone was walking to their car I could have hit them. I have not driven the car again since the in
The problem occurred while the engine was on, but I was idle in the drive thru of a local pharmacy. The car had been placed in park, but engine still running while waiting at the window. Suddenly, the car began to shake and multiple indicator lights illuminated then the car completely died. No indicator light was illuminated before this issue.
