ok let me give the full details. ive had this car for 1 week. for that week it has been driven to the gulf 386 miles with no problems until almost home and lights head lights go off and on then car goes dead. cranked car back up with no more problems drove all the way home. then i went and washed the car about 3 miles from home then on way back home it dies. i coast to a stop. crank car drive home. I then begin to check things and find the neg cable is real dirty from acid build up. i clean the cable and drive car a few more times and it begins to crank or turn over for 2-3 seconds then goes dead want crank all day yesterday. then i get home today and car cranks fine. im scared to drive it cause i dont wonna get stranded and since car was as is from lander mcclarty dodge im shure they want tow it for fix it. im at a loss as what to do. also when turning the ignition switch it seems i have to turn it all way to right seems more than usual before it catches to crank.

man I wished i could afford to take it to a mechanic atm. i just spent 1300 down payment on the car then rent and made a trip to gulfshore's to visit family. sigh I cant get a break.

ya the check engine light never came on. as originally thought. it would only come on as the ignition switch was turned on then off after it would crank.
