FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS THE ENGINE AND BATTERY LIGHTS WOULD COME ON BUT FLASH OFF. I ASSUMED THAT THE OIL JUST NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. HAD THE OIL CHANGED ON 8/17/15 AND REQUESTED THAT THE MECHANIC PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER FOR ANY ADDITIONAL ISSUES. WHEN I PICKED UP MY 2012 DODGE CARAVAN THE SERVICE TECHNICAN STATED THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND. THEN ON 8/28 I WAS DRIVING AT 35 MPH WHEN ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON AND THE VAN SEEMED SLUGGISH. BECAUSE I WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS HAPPENING I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF... LETTING IT SIT ABOUT 10MINUTES - WHEN I WENT TO START IT, IT WOULD NOT START. HAD A FRIEND COME AND JUMP ME SO I COULD GET IT HOME. HAD A MECHANIC COME TO THE HOUSE AND PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND FOUND THE ALTERNATOR WAS BLOWN. IT IS BARELY 3 YEARS OLD AND ONLY 63830 MILES.
