A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
My son and I were driving 65 mph on the Interstate.... car just died, no warning. I had to veer suddenly to the right to make the ramp or take a chance on the shoulder. Lucky for us no car was to my right as I was in the middle lane. Had no real brakes and this was a short ramp to the intersection. Again Lucky I got the car stopped, NOT lucky I was still taking up space on a blind ramp. Cars were screaming down the ramp right next to me and my son. I yelled at him to get out of the car and go down the hill and get in the parking lot of an empty building. Why those idiots were coming down that ramp at 90 to nothing is beyond me, but they were. The car was in Drive and I could not for the life of me get it into neutral to push it down the hill and into the parking lot... I had to call an Uncle to come an hour away to try and help me, if nothing else to get the car off the ramp. In the mean time a DPS pulls up and I explain how I can't get the car in neutral and he tells me that I had better have the car moved before the sun goes down. He also told me to call a wrecker, I explained that I didn't have the money for one as I had just paid out of my own pocket for a Basal Cell Carcinoma surgery. One woman stopped to ask if she could call someone for me. One Woman! Mind you I was in an industrial area of town, nothing but refineries for miles and miles and not one Man stopped to see if they could help. My Uncle finally showed up, he couldn't get the car in neutral either, Again, Luckily another man finally decided to stop, probably because he was hauling butt down the ramp and almost my car. He knew how to get the link out of the shifter and we were able to roll the car down the hill and into the parking lot. The man left, the only option I thought I had was to find someone to loan me money to get the car towed and to a mechanic. My Uncle drove me back to my house. The next day I woke up stressed about the car (how would I get to work!?!) So, I went on YouTube and started searching for any clues as what could be wrong with the car. There were many things (of course) that the issue could be. My Uncle drove all the way to my house and picked me and my son up. All I could think about was that someone either stole, towed or damaged my car. When we got to where the car was, I had only hoped that my search was worthwhile , I told my son to get my phone and look up a video on how to RESET THE ALARM , sure enough there was one right there on YouTube (Later I found this to be strange) IT WORKED !!! I followed the instructions ... turn the key to "on" ... let it stay like that for exactly 10 minutes (exactly) then turn the key to "off" for about 5 seconds.... then start the car.... And you better believe it worked ... IF ANYONE HAS A CLUE, PLEASE HELP !! I don't want to be in a terrible wreck (esp. w/ my child)
