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.
