I was driving in some pretty hard rain going about 60mph. I slowed the car down to about 40 and when attempting to accelerate again the car would not accelerate. The vehicle then seemed to stall and lose both breaks and steering. I was on a hill so it was very scary. I was able to pump the emergency break and get the vehicle to stop.

Prior to that, often times you would turn the key and the dash lights would come on and the car would do nothing...not even turn over. After a few attempts, it would start. I…
