Car stopped dead in traffic advice needed

[30loom]

Please can someone give me advice, my husband and children were going out last night when the car stopped dead in heavy traffic all the electrics went off so we had no lights no steering nothing, my husband had to push it to a traffic island in the middle of the road, the advice I’m after is Can I take the car back to the dealer for repair we’ve had it nearly 27 weeks and would welcome advice of what to do, we had to be towed back home.

I am assuming that this is a second hand vehicle?

My understanding is that within the first 6 months after the purchase you can return to the dealer and advise them there was a fault with the vehicle. It is then their responsibility to fix it if they can't prove that the fault wasn't there when you purchased it.

Someone will definitely give you better advice, but this was some advice i got from Which? when we purchased our car a while back...
