“I was driving on the freeway when all of the sudden a bunch of warning lights started flashing on the dashboard so a pulled off the freeway and the motor died and would not start again.. I bought a brand new battery and put that in then the alternator started smocking and burned out so I bought a new one and put that in. I made it across town all light started flickering again and car shut off while driving. I replaced the alternator again and the same thing happened again! I don't know what to do now the car is dead!”
