A few months back I though my altenator went out. Managed to drive to the dealer and get the car checked out...altenator is fine they just charged the battery... Well now I am standing out the side if the road because my car lit up like a Christmas try...I didn't even know my car had that many systems that can fail hahahahaha 
engine sputtered and died and just managed to get the car into the turn lane. Car wouldn't shift out of 3rd gear and engine had no power.
So just chillen at the side of the road waiting for a tow truck....just though I'd share and vent

Thanks! Not sure if a car with 36k miles should have all these problems... $13,500 in warranty work so far...
You are a poster child for why it is so important to get CPO if buying used.
