I can be driving with no problems and then it will turn off and not start. I was driving down the freeway and it shut off, no lights came on...completely dead.....I had it towed home... after a few days it started I took it to the grocery store and I hit a few more stores and it happened again... I can jump start it and it will turn on.
My daughter is 16 and I won't let her drive until this is fixed, but I don't know where to start... someone help, please. thanks

that old style fuse box would be the culprit i do bet.. had the same problem with mine.. it would do that then i would smack that box a few times start up and head home..
