Consumer Description

WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL CUT OFF SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING AT RANDOM TIMES. IT SEEMS TO BE AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR MORE THAN ABOUT 15 MINUTES AT A TIME. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN STOPPING JUST FOR A MOMENT IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, OR WHEN STOPPING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. A LIGHT COMES ON IN THE CAR THAT SAYS SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND SINCE IT ONLY HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY, IT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT FOR MY AUTO MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.
