Consumer Description

MY BATTERY DISCHARGE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING WITHIN 5 MINUTES MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND BRAKE SYSTEM. THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, DOOR OPEN LIGHTS, AND SEVERAL OTHER WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR, THE BATTERY, AND THE FUSE LINKAGE. THE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND THE CAR DRIVES FOR A FEW MINUTE THEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND THE STEERING AND BREAKING SYSTEM GO OUT AND THE CAR DIES AGAIN. THIS AS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST FOUR DAYS. THIS HAPPEN ON A STATE ROAD AND REQUIRED TWO TOW TRUCKS TO COME OUT.
