Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE IS INTERMITTENTLY SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE PRIVATE ROADS OR FREEWAY, ALL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT (DASHBOARD, GAUGES, STEREO, SOME WINDOWS, DRIVING TRANNY CHANGER - CAN'T SHIFT), AND ALL OTHER ITEMS ARE GOING OUT. THE POWER OF THE VEHICLE WILL STALL FOR 1/2 SECOND IN AS MANY AS 3-5 TIMES DURING AN EPISODE. ULTIMATELY RESULTING IN ALL ELECTRICAL POWER FAILING. THIS APPEARS TO ALSO BE CAUSING THE BATTER TO NOT BE CHARGED. THE BATTERY IS NEW, PURCHASED A FEW DAYS AGO TO SEE IF THIS WOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE, WHICH IT DIDN'T. THUS THE CAR CANNOT BE STARTED AFTER A FEW DAYS OF DRIVING WITHOUT TRICKLE-CHARGING THE BATTERY. THE SRS BAGGAGE WARNING HAS NOT BECOME ENGAGED. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, IT DOESN'T APPEAR THROUGH CARFAX OR OTHER RECORDS HISTORY THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD REPAIRED THESE ISSUES. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING, BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, LEAVE ME OR MY FAMILY STRANDED. *TR
