THE FIRST OCCURRED 4 DAYS EARLIER AND IT HAD BURNT OUT MY BATTERY. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND THEY COULD NOT REPAIR IT UNTIL NEXT WEEK AND HAD NO LOANER CAR FOR ME. I HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECKED. THEY TOLD ME THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECKED OUT ON THE COMPUTER, WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED AND MUST OF BEEN THE BATTERY. WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 4 DAYS LATER, BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED ALONG WITH THE ABS AND ANTI-SKID LIGHTS. WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON, RADIO CUT OFF AND THEN LOST POWER AND ACCELERATION. COASTED TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY AND OPENED THE HOOD WHERE THERE WAS THE ODOR OF ELECTRICAL SHORT AND BURNING. THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED 4 DAYS EARLIER. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WAS TOLD BY SERVICE PERSONNEL THAT THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS SAME YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLES. MILEAGE IS 36,800. *TR
