What owners wrote
Car constantly loses power or get warning light stating I need to check my starting system. Have replaced the battery 3 times this year, replaced the alternator twice and have replaced the starter once. Sometimes car does not lose power all the way, but will lose functionality of windows, turn signals, windshield wipers, radio, AC and any other function although car will still drive. Inside the arm rest is usually extremely hot when this happens. So hot that it burns your hand to the touch.
