Description of the problem	I was driving my vehicle and a light came on that said check the charging system, the car's electrical system completely crashed and all the electrical power to the car died and it literally turned off while i was driving it in the middle of the street. Now even with a replaced battery and alternator it will only start with a jump and continues to say the charging system needs to be checked. This is extremely dangerous. What if i were driving on the highway and all of a sudden (with no reduction of speed) the vehicle just turned off and stopped. No electric meant no powersteering, no abs, no air bag sensors etc... Very dangerous. I have checked several blogs and sites and i am finding a number of people are having the same charging system issue. I would like to return the company to cover the cost of repairs for this vehicle.
