This is second time my battery has died and l am still unable to jump the thing. Something is wrong that the mechanics or dealerships aren't telling me me.
The distributor has gone out twice (2x) on my 1999 Chrysler Cirrus. The first time was in 2007 while I was sitting in a car wash. I thought perhaps some water had splashed in and shorted something out. So I didn't report it. But the second time was on Friday, may 29th. We were driving on the I-210 freeway in the carpool lane - near azusa, CA. Suddenly the car lost all power and I had to pull across 5 lanes of traffic in order to safely get off the freeway. It was very scary and very dangerous. If I had not been able to pull over, the car would just have stopped dead on a busy freeway on the Friday afternoon of the memorial day weekend. I asked the mechanic at clippinger Chrysler in covina where we had the car towed if the distributor went out often on their cars. He said it was "rare. " I think that the fact that it has gone out twice on my car in the past 2 years is very strange and could constitute a serious defect.
