I don't know where to start.
I gave my keys to a friend to give someone a boost, not sure if this could be directly related, however a few days after the boost, my car started acting all weird on me. While I was parked in a parking lot, my car wouldn't start, but I had power as I could turn my lights on etc. Then after a couple of minutes, my car was able to turn on and all the gauges kept going up and down, up and down for about 1 minute, then service vehicle soon light comes on, service air bag comes etc....after a few minutes everything went back to normal.
I drove the car home and it was fine driving it there. The next morning as I leave my house with no warning, my car turns off on the highway, leaving me to bail on it on the side of the road, with nothing working except the horn. No 4 way signals, couldn't get into my trunk as it's electrical. After several minutes, my car comes on then turns off, comes on turns off..gauges go up and down up and down....she finally starts then I bring it to a local garage where they cannot locate the issue.
I took the car back and let it sit for two days, until last night where I was not able to start the car at the beginning, however after 10 minutes, my alarm started going off and my 4 way flashers started coming on. I was unable to turn the alarm off. It did that for 2 minutes then shut off completley. 5 minutes later she starts on me with no problem....full baterry voltage power and almost ready to go....I let her sit for 10 minutes, then service vehicle soon light comes on and all my gauges go to 0.....thermostat, gas gauge and now I can't shut the car off at all.....it wouldn't allow me to shut it off.....I disconnected the battery, but still wouldn't shut off. I jammed the stick from park to drive so I could get it to the dealership where they are like WTF>....
Anyone ever had this happen.....now I am hoping it's not related to the boost as I still owe money on this car and wasn't hoping to get rid of it right away....Now I have had lots of issues with the car, just never even close to being as scary or messed up like this.
Thanks for all your support
