    As I drove on the interstate, a warning came up saying that my vehicle speed may be limited. Almost immediately after the engine shut off completely and the gearbox locked. The dash said to press the brake and the on/off button, but when I tried it wouldn't work and a notice came up on the screen that I couldn't do that because I wasn't in park. My engine would not turn back on, and I had to coast to the side of the rode.
