When driving the car it may stall,(and it has many times) which causes failure of power steering and brakes. The car also won't always start. You can turn the key but the dashboard lights don't come on,if they don't the car will not start. Also the battery won't keep a charge, unless you start the car and let it run at least every 2 days. *tr

Luckily, i was going about 10 mph and was able to stop the car, albeit in the middle of the street. I noticed the dashboard lights were on. The car restarted immediately and i drove it 1/2 block…
