2008 Arcadia 126000 on miles. The car shuts off when stopping at red lights. Will recrank if given a few moments but have to turn ac off ect. Dealer n plenty certified mechanic can find problem. Car will not do it at mechanic shop it only does it when drivin and warmed up. I did replace battery but the car acts like it isn't getting enough "power" to keep running when at a stop. It will do it 4-5 times in one day skip a day. It will do it only 1-2 times nothing consisant but very dangerous. No lights on dash are displaying n dealer says everything is running as it should be. Please help

The problem might be that the alternator is faulty or the idle screw is making the engine run at a very low speed when idle.

SOURCE: 2008 nissan sentra has occasional starting issues.

Could be bad battery or Somthing going on with the main fuse box.  Another thing to check is your ground wires.  If they are loose, you can not complete the circut.

SOURCE: 2008 Arcadia 126000 on miles. The car shuts off

check for vacuum leaks at the brake booster as it stops at lights and is random it may be occurring when you have your foot on the brakes and that is allowing a lean mixture to stop the engine. The engine will idle fine and run ok but it won't idle if there is a leak in the brake booster system.

Won't start. Turn the ignition and nothing. The engine light comes on and the auto theft light comes on for a few moments and goes off. I tried the couple things suggested in the owners' manual...

if nothing happens when you turn the key the problem is most likely the ignition switch and housing(had mine replaced 3 times already. firstr time at 12,000 miles) what you can try is hit key with rubber mallet while trying to turn but this would only be to get it started so you can drive to a chevy dealer(dont waste your time at any old repair shop for this). Hope this helps.

An electrical problem. Turn the car off and all power is killed. No interior lights no door locks ect. Is the battery the problem 126000 miles and I am on my second batery

All battery has a pro-rated warranty.

Check the top sticker for 24,48,72,84 month warranty.

=====

The alternator is the most likely source of your problem.

=====

Check for AC ripple current with meter or just bring it to a shop.

You should get the alternator check out before causing damage to the computer/ECU and transmission comoputer/TCU.

Have 2001 CR-V w/126000 miles. clock has been

Grating sound: Coat liberally with WD-40 or equivalent, or any "spray grease".

Clock: Is it in the dash or part of the radio (there were multiple clocks in the CR-V). If it is the little dash clock, you may have a hard time finding an exact replacement except though your honda dealer, costing considerable $$$
