The vehicle ran into problems at first when placing it into reverse and did not have enough power to reverse. It instead continued to roll down the hill I happened to be on. Later the same night of August 31, 2011, I had started up fine and when I went to make a U-Turn, the transmission kicked when in reverse and the lights dimmed to almost nothing. Less than 200 feet later, the vehicle stalled and would not start. The alternator was replaced a few weeks prior to this event. The battery is also 2 weeks old.
