The contact stated that a diagnostic test would not be performed for another 24-48 hours. The vehicle was not repaired.
Car stalled 4 times in the last 4 months while at stop lights. I was stopped at light and when I went to move again the car stalled-all panel lights flashed and car would not turn on again. After multiple attempts the car finally started. After the most recent occurrence I drove immediately to the nearest midas because oi was afraid to drive it any farther. They ran diagnostics and could not find a definitive answer. The battery was fine.
