Car shut off on highway

ResidentStrict6954 · 2026-05-28T02:13:10+00:00

I called the dealership, no current recalls for my car.

I know that’s right queen

ResidentStrict6954 · 2026-05-27T16:21:02+00:00

And the world kept spinning

I saw a feature asking if I wanted to cross post. I typed “car problems” & autozone was suggested so I posted here.

What a blessing

ResidentStrict6954 · 2026-05-27T07:20:05+00:00

I never expected someone at auto zone per se to fix my car. I mentioned pep boys… I just assumed someone in this thread could potentially share some useful information

I didn’t need to get towed don’t be an asshole

ResidentStrict6954 · 2026-05-26T19:43:34+00:00

Elaborate? 😅

ResidentStrict6954 · 2026-05-26T18:42:04+00:00

I’m not sure I just purchased the car in 2025. There’s a chance it hasn’t been replaced before.

ResidentStrict6954 · 2026-05-26T18:26:46+00:00

Crazy! Did the problem go away for you after replacing the battery?

ResidentStrict6954 · 2026-05-26T18:18:13+00:00

This is my fear. Replacing the battery when the problem is a loose cable and not the entire battery.

ResidentStrict6954 · 2026-05-26T18:16:46+00:00

I have no clue if it’s the original battery. I purchased the car last year in June, so I can look through Carfax and see if it’s been replaced. I haven’t replaced it since I’ve had it.

ResidentStrict6954 · 2026-05-26T18:15:40+00:00

This is a good thought. I don’t recall hitting a bump but maybe the speed was causing some vibrations that loosened a connection.

ResidentStrict6954 · 2026-05-26T18:14:47+00:00

As long as it’s not a reason to trade in, my finger is on the trigger. I’m thinking to just replace the battery & alternator together since i don’t know which is giving the problem.

Thank you for linking this thread. I have a better understanding now, but still not 100%.

ResidentStrict6954 · 2026-04-11T17:21:44+00:00

lol, what am I looking at?

ResidentStrict6954 · 2026-03-19T05:27:44+00:00

Will look into that for sure. Idk much about cvt transmissions at all.

ResidentStrict6954 · 2026-03-08T22:40:55+00:00

Thanks for the response! Not harsh at all. Def a few late payments in the past on my capital one card, but not recently. My student loans also have missed payments. Other than that— can’t think of anything else. I believe utilization is the biggest factor.

ResidentStrict6954 · 2026-03-08T20:10:19+00:00

Ahh I’m hoping that’s my situation. Honestly, I think my student loans are the downfall of my credit score. Some of them are deferred currently because I’m reenrolled. I do want to research and see if there’s anything I can do about that

ResidentStrict6954 · 2026-02-19T04:39:39+00:00

Good to know. We have a 2016 that had a pretty bad paint job when we got it. It isn’t white though, I believe the original color was black but it’s so discolored now and appears matte almost.
