We were on our way back to Manila via NLEX when I noticed the battery light on the dashboard started flickering. Since we were in a convoy, I had my passenger call the other car to notify them and we agreed to pull up in the next gasoline station. Kaso hindi na umabot. As we were passing the Bocaue tollway, more lights started popping up on the dashboard: The steering light turned on, and the ABS light turned on. Then shortly after, the radio went out. Shortly after that, the steering wheel started to stiffen. So we called the other car again and told them we had to pull over immediately after passing the tollway. When it was my turn to pay the toll, I discovered that my power windows weren't functioning anymore as well so I had to open the car door to pay. After we pulled over after paying the toll, dun na bumigay lahat after a few minutes. The lights started to fade, all the lights on the dashboard started to flicker, and I couldn't even engage the gas anymore.

So we asked for help from the NLEX office and AAP to have the car towed. Eventually we got it to KIA Acropolis late at night (this was on Dec 30), and when they checked it on Jan 2 --- yan na ang sabi sa akin, that some parts have to be replaced and I have to pay for the replacement (although ico-confirm pa daw nila sa planta kung covered ng warranty ang IC Regulator, but I'm not holding my breath).
