| Description of the problem | As i was driving down the street to the gas station, i had about half a tank left, the check battery light would come on and my car would stall out as i was driving. I am afraid to drive my car now because this happened multiple times in january when the weather was cold and it had just rained, and now it is happening again in warm, sunny weather. I was lucky to not get in an accident because other cars were right behind me as i was driving. I would turn my car off, turn it back on and it would start, and then it would just shut down again after a few hundred feet. I took it to the dealership and they said they can't fix anything unless we can replicate the problem, but they couldn't. I don't want this to happen to me as i'm on a highway which could cause serious injury, so i am scared to drive my car, which i shouldn't be. |
