Description of the problem | Battery suddenly went dead shortly after driving when it should be charged. After investigating, i found that the ecu cycles the alternator off and on to try to increase fuel mileage. This has twice resulted in battery failure, not starting and leaving me stranded. I've had to buy new batteries twice in five years. |
