My battery has gone dead 3 times since i bought the car used in 2014. The dealer put in a new battery at the time i bought the car.

My car had 56,000 miles when i bought it. It now has 117,000. I took the car recently to two…

About a year ago, i packed my car to go on vacation. I put the dog in the car and returned to my house to get something. When i returned to the car, it was locked. I assumed i had inadvertently pushed the lock button on the remote so ignored it. Over the last 6 months, this has happened more frequently. On july 6, 2015, my mother and i went to walmart. I went in and she stayed in the car. When i returned the door…

It was only by immediately shifting into neutral that i avoided running a redlight and plowing through an intersection. I placed in park and shut off engine within 3-5 seconds to avoid engine damage. I waited about 10-15 seconds stuck at a…

Unfortunately, he got very sick and passed away in…
