i don't even know where to start. my car has given me so many problems that i'm about fed up with it.

the other day on my way home from work, i went to autozone to get some headlights because one went out. then, after buying them i came out and tried to start my car and i had no power in my car what-so-ever. my locks didn't work, my lights didn't come on, nothing. so i asked the workers to check my battery because this is obviously a power issue. they checked my battery and said it was good but the alternator wasn't. and i just replaced it not even 6 months ago. luckily i have a warranty on that part so i can take it back!

but after they checked my battery one of the gentlemen jump started my car and i drove home. the next couple of days after that my car worked just fine, had no problems starting up or anything. until today. this morning when i hopped in my car to go to work, my lights turned on when i opened the door and i tried to start my car and then the car lost all power again! now, my fuel gauge is stuck at 3/4 filled when normally when it's off it rests at the bottom left hand mark. i wanted to ask someone what they think the problem might be before i go waste my money on the wrong thing!

thank you so much for your help!
