Stranded because the vehical had an electrical issue
I was driving on Interstate 70 and was caught in a blizzard exiting the Eisnenhower tunnel. The car handled great going down the mountain in a blizzard and I was able to safely get to my hotel that day. 2 hours after I had unpacked the car and was heading to a resturant, a warning light appeared stating there was an electical problem. I called a dealership 50 miles away to find out what I should do. The advice was I could drive the car if I felt confortable doing so. On the way to the resturant (1.6 miles away) I stopped for a stop sign and the car would not move. Finally, I turned off the car and then started it again and pulled into a parking lot--again I called the dealership and was told to go to the resturant and let the car sit while I ate my dinner.. I barely made it back to my hotel. And roadside assistance set up a tow truck to take the car to the nearest dealership 50 miles away the next day. I had called the dealership, to let them know the car was coming but they never set up an appointment so when I got there they told me they could not look at the car until the next day. I had to rent a car so I could make it to my meeting in Las Vagus on time. When the dealership finally looked at the car they could not find anything wrong, except for the expired error code. So basically, since they couln't tell what caused the problem, it could happen again. The reason I purchased the car was because I wanted reliable transportation as I will be putting on a lot of miles this year traveling to various meetings.
