Vehicle lost power while driving down highway. Replaced the battery and took to shop to have alternator and whatever else looked at. Mechanic could not find anything wrong.

Also have had same electrical problems (power windows) as everyone else, as well as spending $600 on brakes, and trunk latch won't work. Radio works off and on.

After running for more than 10 minutes in a row engine will not restart for thirty or fourty minutes. Brakes lose control in rain.
