We bought a used 2011 Kia Sorento this past March. Two nights ago and tonight..

Thank you. I've been avoiding having to take it to our mechanic but am to the point I just want it fixed. :)

Yeah, I know whatcha mean .. Sometimes it's just unavoidable and the best thing to do! .. Plus a lot of times it's the cheapest as opposed to buying parts that's not needed.

So, here's what finally happened. My husband called a friend of his (who is a license mechanic) up on Fort Dix. They tested the battery and alternator for close to 30 minutes with different situations such as lights on/off, engine running or not, AC on/off etc. From what they determined, the batter was 3 years old and probably about to eventually just die. So I replaced it because I'd rather be proactive and have peace of mind. I want to thank you for all your input however. I greatly appreciate it. :)
