Description of the problem | I have a 2014 chevy malibu ls. About a year ago while at a stop light the car engine shut stopped working, and all the lights came off. I had to get the assistance of a police officer to control traffic away from my car, until the tow truck arrived and towed it to the shop. I was told that the auxiliary battery was bad, and had it replaced. The car it worked well. In august of this year the car engine began shutting off, while i was driving, and sometimes after it was parked overnight. I had the batteries checked, and was told that they were bad. I live in az, and the weather here is very hot, both were replaced on august 27th and 28th, less than 2 months ago, with two new batteries. The car worked well up until this evening, when it shut down completely as i was driving into my yard. All the lights came off, and i cannot get the key out of the ignition. I am glad that it happened when i entered my yard and not while i was driving on the freeway. Will tow it to the shop in the morning to find out what the problem is now. |
