| Description of the problem | As i was driving down the highway, (76 east in akron ohio)to take my car to the shop for a check engine and battery light that came on, warning lights of all sorts started to pop up. It basically appeared to cycle through all of the warning lights. I was probably only at 45 mph, barely highway speed, but it is hard to know as the rmp and speedometer kept fluctuating wildly. Then the car slowly died to a dead stop while on the highway. I still had lights and air, and all other electrical things but the car would not restart. I managed to get safely to the side of the road, a gentlemen from the state farm road side assistance pushed me into the beginning of a closed lane. I was told this issue was my alternator not charging properly. There is only about 52k miles on my car. |
