I was driving the car earlier today in the power steering pump was making noise. So I check it it was empty I filled it up with power steering fouled. Come to find out its a leak again. For the third time in that the lights been flickering since I bought the car for two days the check battery system light was on. Then one day it cut off on me in traffic. While driving . Then after a while I got a jump but the car didn't stay running on its on after the fifth try it stayed running. I was able to drive home now every other week so. I have to messing with cable cord on the battery to get the car to start. Just so happened today my alternator. Was on fire. The fire department had to cut all the wiring off that was connected to the battery just to stop the fire from burning .
Service battery charging system is showing on dashboard. Battery and alternator have been replaced and it still appears on dashboard. I dont know what else to do.
