Consumer Description

SOMETIMES CAR IS DEAD IN THE MORNING, UNABLE TO JUMPSTART, 1 HOUR LATER CAR STARTS RIGHT UP, DRIVES FINE FOR A WHILE THEN DIES, HAS DIED WHILE WAITING AT A STOP SIGN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO AUTO SHOPS INCLUDING THE DEALER. THE FIRST AUTO SHOP COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG, THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS MY BATTERY (WHICH WAS ONLY 1 YEAR OLD). HE REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT MY CAR CONTINUES TO RANDOMLY DIE.
