problem #1

Nov 162006

(reported on)

Park Avenue 3.8L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,000 miles

While going down the road everything electrical will shut down (headlights, radio, dashboard lights and so on). Then the car will jerk as if it has died. Then all the dummy lights will come on and go back off and the car resumes running as if nothing has occurred.

CRAP! I'm beginning to hate this car!

Update from Oct 1, 2009: Turns out that the technician who installed my CD player cross threaded my positive battery connection and that was causing the problem.
