ON THE HIGHWAY, MERRITT 15 IN CT, THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN, NO POWER BRAKES, STEERING, NO ABILITY TO SPEED UP. ENGINE SHUT OFF, ALL ELECTRICAL SHUT OFF. LUCKILY I WAS GOING SLOW SINCE MY EXIT WAS COMING UP BUT I LOST ALL ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE IN A SAFE WAY AND IF I WAS GOING THE HIGHWAY SPEED IT COULD HAVE ENDED VERY BADLY.
