THE LOW FUEL WARNING INDICATOR CAME ON SHOWED ZERO MILES LEFT EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS AT LEAST A QUARTER TANK LEFT. THE SPEEDOMETER READOUT CHANGED TO ZERO, WHILE WE WERE DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH. WE WERE ABLE TO SAFELY STOP THE CAR AT A CONVENIENCE STORE / GAS STATION. THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULDN'T TURN OFF THE ENGINE, THE HEAT CAME ON AND WOULDN'T TURN OFF, THE WINDOWS WOULDN'T ROLL DOWN, AND THE DOORS LOCKED THEMSELVES. THE REAR WINDSHIELD WASHER CONTINUALLY PUMPED OUT FLUID. THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED AND WOULDN'T TURN OFF. WE CALLED HERTZ AND WHILE WE WERE ON THE PHONE WITH THEM THE ENGINE DID SHUT DOWN. HERTZ SENT A TOW TRUCK TO RETRIEVE THE CAR. WHEN HE ARRIVED HE CALLED ME TO ASK WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE CAR, AS HE FOUND IT TO BE OPERATING NORMALLY.
