Consumer Description

CAR WONT START AFTER YOU SHUT IT OFF. REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE AND THE ALTERNATOR THREE TIMES IN THREE DAYS. NO CHARGE FROM THE ALTERNATOR TO THE BATTERY. HAD IT TESTED THE BATTERY IS GOOD BUT STILL SHOWING A BAD ALTERNATOR. REPLACED ALL THE FUSES AS WELL. DIAGNOSTIC IS TELLING US NOTHING EXCEPT THE ALTERNATOR ISN'T CHARGING THE BATTERY. CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR TWO WEEKS BECAUSE I'M TIRED OF PAYING PEOPLE TO LOOK AT THE CAR AND CANT FIGURE OUT WHATS WRONG WITH IT. I'M AFRAID TO LET MY DAUGHTER DRIVE IT BECAUSE SHE IS PREGNANT AND I DON'T WANT HER STRANDED ON THE ROAD OR THE CAR CUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY AND SHE GET SERIOUSLY HURT.
