Filed: Oct 2025

Your car experienced multiple electrical and engine system failures while driving. The dashboard gauges became stuck (fuel gauge, speedometer, RPM), warning lights flickered on and off, the trunk wouldn't open, and most critically, the engine shut down completely while on the freeway, leaving you coasting to a stop with no power—though accessories like lights and phone charging continued working. This suggests a serious electrical system malfunction that may require complete diagnostic testing and potentially major repairs to the engine control modules and electrical harness.
