OK so i searched didnt find much so just curious as to what problem i have. So while driving 3 days ago car died and i had no power whatsoever not even able to put on fourways then after 3to4 minutes car started up no problem.

Then today in the morning car sarted no problem and drove fine then all of a sudden asc and abc lights flash and car dies and wont start. So i got a friend to come and help me and i boosted the car started no problem. Turned off the car and i started it up once again drove 20 miles home and had no issues car started 3 hours later no problem.

Any help would be appriciated and Merry Christmas to all

check your ground cable in your trunk - over time it can loosen and you'll intermittently lose power.

It does sound more like a loose wire than a bad alternator.
