Description of the problem | Purchased a brand new car battery a week ago, the car was running fine, spent the day out, went back to my car and it would not turn on. Had to call aaa to get a jump on a brand new car battery. Went back to where i purchased the battery, they said it was not the battery, they did replace it and ran a diagnostic and they could not fine an issue and stated it must be an electrical problem. Went about my day, in the middle of the night, the car lights turned off on there own, i had to pull over turn off the car and turn it back on so the lights would work again. Yesterday, i went to switch my car with my girlfriend and it would not turn on or even crank to turn on, after trying for the 5th time, it finally turned on. I have a baby and driving my car has me very scared. Please help |
