2000 Mazda 626 Electrical system Problems

“My 2000 Mazda 626 began having problems a week after purchasing april 10, 2008! The car started having electrical problems which resulted in 3 batteries, 2 alternators, no AC or defrost could be run. Then the brakes were replaced twice within a 2 month period! All these problems resulted in me almost being killed from an automobile accident! This happened june 8, 2009 which was a monday approx. 4 pm. The airbags never deployed, and my head hit the steering wheel. Windshield shattered all over my hand resulting in severe lacerations! This car needs looked at asap!!!! Please help”

I have checked several web forums and found similar problems. …”
