While driving the car it suddenly stalled rendering the brakes and steering useless. Managed to coast to the side of the road and stop. Placed the car in park and attempted to restart the car. Most if not all of the dashboard lights came on but no engine sounds. Also the car was now stuck in park. A tow service was called and the car was towed to the dealer where it has sat since December 28, 2016 because they are unable to diagnose the problem.
