Problem started in may with previous owner. Battery leaking, alternator went. Radio went inyo anti-theft. Battery has been replaced 5 times (battery leaking) & altenator 2 times since May. The radio had to be replaced. After anti-theft mode was fixed, only cd would work. Car has just fied again. Saw article in paper referring this problem but when checked with dealer (rt 22-bridgewater) they knew nothing about this.

While the truck is running the engine will shut off and about once a week. When starting the truck, it will not start. The truck has been towed to the dealer 4 times in the last 6 weeks. The battery/starter and alternator have all been replaced, and the problem continues. Consumer feels this is due to an electrical problem.
