Different areas worth checking in order of seriousness are:
- loose battery cables/terminals - if they are loose, a bump could temporarily disrupt your connection
- loose battery - the battery itself may be moving around in it's compartment when you hit a bump or jump on the brakes
- defective alternator - the alternator gives off several symptoms when it's on it's way out. interference when the radio is on, very slow windshield wipers, dim headlights.
Bring the car to any of the bigger chain autoparts stores that feature a free electrical test. They could rule out a bad alternator or possibly narrow down what you should do next.
