Description of the problem	I was driving on the freeway going about 55 mph and all of a sudden i noticed a message appear on my car stating "battery on safe mode". A few minutes after that message appeared i noticed the brake light popped up, along with the battery sign, and fuel light. As i exited the freeway i started smelling smoke so i pulled into a gas station. My car completely shut off. All power was gone. I tried jump starting the car a few times. The first time i never got a charge. The second time i let the car sit 5 mins to charge and was able to get power but the same messages appeared and the car would not start. The 3rd and finally time i tried, the power cut on but once i disconnected the cables the power shut down again. I ended up getting the car towed and later found out the battery was drained due to the alternator being bad. So the alternator went out. I'm glad i was able to pull into the gas station that day, instead of the car shutting down on the freeway. I could have been in a serious accident.
