On Jan. 11, 2010 I started my car to let it warm up before leaving for work. I let the car run for about 10 minutes. Drove the 20 minute drive to work, and when I got downtown, the car shut down and all of the warning lights on the dashboard came on. Was able to coast to side of street and stop car. Restarted car and put into drive. All warning lights still on, and don't have any power. Was able to coax car to go three blocks to parking lot, and called dealer who came and got the car. After checking, I was told that water had leaked down the right front passenger side of the window, freezing, thawing and backing up which got to the wiring and burnt it out. Really glad that I wasn't on the interstate that morning.
