Complaint Summary
SERVICE BRAKES
Owner Narrative
AS I WAS DRIVING ON I 5 IN OREGON I EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND BRAKE SYSTEMS. THE VEHICLE WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL AND WHEN I DISENGAGED IT ALL OF THE SAFETY WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES AND THEY WERE A COMPLETE FAILURE ALSO. AT THIS TIME THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND CONTROLS WENT OFF AND I LOSS POWER. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I GOT MY DAUGHTER OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE DISTANCE AND OPENED THE HOOD AND THE MAIN FUSE RELAY PANEL WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN FIRE. I CALLED 911. IN THE APPROX. 5 MIN. THE TIME THE FIRE TRUCK ARRIVED THE TRUCK WAS CONSUMED AND FULLY GUTTED OUT FROM THE FIRE.
