I was driving on interstate 435 w. In kansas city kansas. It was about 4:15 am traveling at 70-72 mph my visibility was ok but I thought that if I use my highbeam it would be better. As soon as I clicked high beam on my car instantly turned off. My headlights my interior lights and my radio powered off. As a panic reaction since I had zero visibility and it was dark outside my foot the brakes. As I remember my sibal had already tightened up before hitting the brakes but before I could realize it my car part powered back on by itself without me doing anything I look at my speedometer and I was going about 67-69. When my car powered on it seems as if it rezoned as if nothing had happened now I believe if I was in kansas city kansas rush-hour I would have caused a severe accident . Even though it was maybe for a second or two that my car had powered off it was more that my car came to a complete stop and I believe with everything that was electrical they have power it off I don't believe that my brake lights would have worked as well. If that were the case I would've never have gave the driver behind me any kind of warning for them to be able to slow down. Luckily it was 4 am in the morning with no traffic that I didn't cause any kind of accident because it would have been unknown how badly it would've cost if they were traffic. I'm not sure what caused this but I know as soon as I had exited off the the interstate I turn the car off turn it back on seem just fine when I went to go turn on the lights my car again powered off. I waited about 15 minutes before I started the car again and it started up just fine waiting for it to warm up turn my lights on again and it did nothing this time and I was able to resume home.
The airbag does not work on the steering column the dealer says it's due to a cold spring on the backside of the airbag that allows electricity to go through it to make it work and once over $1000 to replace the coil- spring in order to make the airbag work which is connected to all the other safety airbags in the vehicle if the drivers airbag does not work neither does any of the other airbags in the vehicle .
