ON INTERSTATE I-80 (SPEED LIMIT 75 MPH), I WAS DRIVING THE CAR USING CRUISE CONTROL AND THE CAR SUDDENLY POWERED OFF, WITH MANY DASHBOARD LIGHTS ON (THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL LIGHT, AND HILL START ASSIST LIGHT). I BARELY MANAGED TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES, BUT IT WOULDN'T START (THOUGH THE STARTER ITSELF WAS WORKING). FINALLY, THE CAR WAS TOWED. I WAS REALLY LUCKY THAT THE CARS BEHIND ME MANAGED TO AVOID ME. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. IN FEBRUARY 2019, THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED WITH THREE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ON (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL LIGHT, HILL START ASSIST LIGHT). THIS WAS ENTIRELY THE SAME BEHAVIOR AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. IN THIS CASE I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR, BUT THE HYBRID ASPECT OF THE CAR DIDN'T WORK (THE BATTERY WAS NOT CHARGED, AND I COULD NOT USE CRUISE CONTROL), BUT I WAS ABLE TO USE THE CAR. IN JANUARY 2019, THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START AND REPLACED BOTH BATTERIES (THE START BATTERY AND HYBRID BATTERY).
