When driving the vehicle on the high way I 29 N at about 68-72 mph the brand new vehicle engine stalled abruptly and the steering wheel froze and we were stuck in the direction the steering was previously turned it and it made impossible for us to steer it on to the shoulder and the vehicle behind us almost crashed into us. We were just a whisker away from getting killed. We had a near death experience and my fiance is still having nightmares about it.
