Failure Date: 12/16/2019

While driving my car during a stoplight it suddenly stalled and died. My gear was still in drive. I tried to restart my car but it wasnt able to start it jus kept making a clicking sound like it was trying to start but couldnt and last for 30 secs. I wasnt able to put the gear into neutral. So in was stalled ok the road. After trying to attempt to restart the engine light went on. I am very frustrated because I just got my car back from the dealership after them replacing my water pump and thermostat twice 1 year apart. Now it's back at the shop and I have to pay 140 to have them diagnose it after spending 1200. I checked my warranty and service contract and they all expired.
