After the "service battery charging system" announcement, my husband went online to find I probably needed a new battery. I drove a few blocks and had the battery/alternator tested (they were fine). When driving home the vehicle entered low power mode. Many systems started turning off: radio, heater, stability, traction, abs, speedometer, and the vehicle started chugging. By now I was on a portion of the highway that was rural and trying to make it to closest mechanic. However, the car lost power/turned off. With this was loss of power steering and I let it coast to the furthest/safest spot. I've read others lost power braking, but I let it coast so far that I wouldn't know. The car lost power to the point my 4-way flashers wouldn't work. I've paid a tow bill and have no idea what's going to happen. Very, very frustrated and disappointed. Please know one hour elapsed between my battery/alternator being tested and the car dying on the highway (I stopped quick for groceries).
