Q: While on the interstate, displays lit up and steering locked
While on the interstate yesterday, the info screen displayed with the following message: Power System Failure - Urgent Service Needed. Then the battery light came on, as did the small red exclamation mark “!” that is in the middle of the gauges. The drive belt appeared to be loose and there were small rubber-like shavings (reinforced like a belt) all around the compartment that is directly above the alternator. The car did go down and when it did all lights came on and the power steering locked; I could hardly manage to get out of traffic. Very dangerous! Is this just a belt that needs replacement or is it something more serious?
