Was on my way to work, noticed head lights dimming, then the dash was really dim as well. Shortly after that I noticed that it showed I had half a tank of gas (even though I know I was almost empty) and I noticed then that it was no longer showing how fast I was going, and then the dash lights were nearly off. Eventually got stopped at a red light where the car gave a few really bad shutters and then died. Wouldn't start again so pushed it to a spot around the corner, and about 20 min later it started again, but it was shuttering kinda hard, and then died again. It seems like it would be my alternator, but I JUST replaced it in August, along with a new battery. But we did drive on batter power for a day before the alternator was delivered. The only thing is, when my alternator went out the batter light was on on the dash, this time though, the only lights that are on are the ABS, Emergency Break light, and i'm pretty sure that its the airbag light... but no battery light. Tried to charge it up today, but as soon as i turn the lights on it dies almost right away (and goes out with the shutter) Please.... someone help me.
