ok so a couple of months ago i started noticing that everyonce in while my lights would kinda flicker and not just the headlights but the guage and radio lights too, but the car has been running fine other than a hard start once in a while. Well the past couple of days it has been getting worse, yesterday i went to start the car and it turned on kinda rough and then it sorta sputtered off,i tokk out the key put it back in and the car was fine and then the rest of the day it was fine and it ran smooth and started up several times throughout the day with no problem, then i noticed that the headlights would flicker even when i was turning the wheel i guess from the power steering, and then today at dinner i started the car to drive to a restaurant it was fine, i finish eating and get in the car the engine starts fine but i cant put the car into gear(auto) it was as if the brake lock hadnt been disengaged then i look in the rearview to see if my brake lights are coming on and nothing so press down really hard and the brake lights come on and the car lets me put it in gear, so i drive over a couple of spots and i stop the car and start it right back up and the brakes are fine, i shut it off agin and let it sit for 10 mins and again it starts up fine, tomorrow i'm gonna go get the battery tested just to see if that is part of the problem but clearly there is a power issue but in my experience a bad alternator would leave you stranded and a bad battery wouldn't let you start the car, unless they are going bad and just havent completetly died yet. any ideas anyone?
