I was on my way to my doctors appointment and my car stalled right in the middle of an intersection and a light came on the dash that said "service engine soon". my first thought was "well if the car is gonna turn off I probably need service now, not soon..." long story short I restarted the car and made it home but I had to reschedule my doctors appointment. luckily they can get me in tomorrow morning and my mother in law can take me. it's just frustrating because I have NEVER had an issue with my car until now. 😧 ain't that just the way?
