| Description of the problem | On several occasions i will be driving my car and it begins to shake and cut off. The battery light comes on and a wrench will appear next to the parking light. I was stopped at a stop light, once the light changed i took my feet off the break and pushed on the gas. My car stalled then shook as i drove forward through the intersection my car cut off again. I had to urgently put on my flashers. I have a child and that us very dangerous. I tried starting my car again and it made the sound as if it were going to start but it didn't. The battery light came on again. I tried another time and it worked. I began driving for no more than 3 minutes and my car shut off again. I turned into a parking lot and tried to start my car. We sat there for 5 minutes. The i drove to walmart which is usually only a few minutes away. My car shut off at 4 lights on the way to walmart, and pulling into the walmart parking lot, 4 lights on the way home. This was all in one day. I am so afraid to get on the highway because my car could go out while i'm driving and someone may run into the back of my car. |
