I cannot recall the yellow message on the dashboard that appeared as soon as the engine stopped. A yellow triangle with exclamation point and a car with exclamation point appeared on the dashboard. We called 911 and then AAA. AAA on the phone instructed us to turn on and off the engine several times. The engine did not start until the tow truck driver came, opened the door and replaced me in the driver’s seat. He stepped on the brakes and pushed the start button as I did several times before but this time the car started as if nothing happened. We drove the car home.
