Two week ago my car started to sputter and acted like it was going to shut off. I made it home and took off the battery cable and it quit running which indicates it is an alternator problem. I took the alternator out and got it tested and it was a bad alternator. I went down got a brand new alternator put it on and drove around for a few hours, went home turn car off and the car would not start back up, which indicates it is the battery. Got the battery tested and found out I had a bad battery. Bought a refurbished battery and put it on and everything worked for a few day then my car started to sputter again and acted like it was going to shut off again. Went home turned the car off and tried to start again and it would not which indicates is a battery problem again. I went and got the battery tested and the battery was dead. This time I purchased a brand new battery and it worked for about three days then it shut off on me. I had to get a jump and got home. Car shut off as I pulled up to my house. I then figured I will get another alternator because the new one is probably a bad alternator. So today I got the alternator replaced with another new one and put it on. I had to get a jump due to battery was dead. Got a jump, it ran for a few minutes and then it started to sputter again. Then it shut off. Would not start after that, got another jump right after and sputtered again. Mind you that all my dash lights and inside lights would not come on. Not even the radio. But as soon as I turned my headlights on then my car shut off again. I have brand new battery terminals and all my connections to my alternator and battery are good connections. I do not know why my car is having these issues but hope you know what my problem is.
