Driving on the expressway with my 4 year old son and gas pedal would not respond and all of the sudden the dash lights up with dsc 4X4 error also battery light and hand brake light came on. Engine started to accelerating uncontrollably at this time and the check engine light came on with what it seemed as half full. Throttle went unresponsive and the car started slowing down. Moved over to side of the road and the car shut off as I am trying to park it. Needles to say this is a major issue that caused my car to shut down in the middle of the expressway while driving at 60 mph not to mention it put my sons life in danger.
