Consumer Description

CAR SPORADICALLY DYING (ELECTRICALLY AND ALL) WHILE IN DRIVE OR IN MOTION OF FORWARD DRIVING (WHILE GOING 30 + MPH) AND THEN JUST AS SPORADICALLY TURNING ITSELF BACK ON. MAKES CHAIN DRAGGING SOUND SIMILAR TO WORN BRAKE PADS BUT THE SOUND WILL CHANGE PITCHES WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 0-43MPH. AFTER 43 MPH IT NO LONGER MAKES ODD SOUNDS BUT AS SOON AS DECELERATION BEGINS IT IS AT RISK TO EITHER TEMPORARILY "DIE' OR SLIGHTLY JERK AND ALMOST "DIE". THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING UP TO 20 TIMES WITHIN 3 MILES AND THE FIRST TIME IT "DIED" WAS WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND FULLY STOPPING. IT HAS NOT DONE IT FOR THE LAST COUPLE DAYS AND LOCAL MECHANIC COULD NOT DIAGNOSE IT AS THE BATTERY WAS IN GREAT CONDITION AND EVERYTHING APPEARED TO BE PLUGGED WHERE IT SHOULD BE.
