Yes, right before the electrical system went down.
And I explained that to the dealer when he told me I had a loose terminal. I said it's not the connection there is something else wrong here. They insisted they had fixed it.

Solisimo - I’m sorry to hear about what has happened with your vehicle. Would you mind sending me a PM with your VIN and personal info so I could look into this please?

Thanks,
Laura

UPDATE

Just picked up the car and it made it home safe, looks like the problem has been fixed by changing the alternator and battery. It was a headache and not a very good experience. But its done and fixed. That dealer is never seeing my car ever again!
