The vehicle shut off and lost power while I was driving this July. It happened while I was in the turning lane, about to turn onto the interstate.

In this fashion, I returned the vehicle to my property and then had it towed to Palm Coast Ford: [XXX], s [XXX]. When loading the vehicle for towing, the vehicle even though “in neutral” as indicated on the dash, was in gear also causing a safety issue for the tow driver and myself.
