I have been notcing that my stereo randomly turns itself off and then comes back on again. TOday I started my car and it was dead so i jumped it. When I was driving I got to a stop sign and it died. I had to jump start it again. the only way it wont die is to go real slow and not stop. I notice ther lights dim and the radio goes out too.

Have the charging system checked to rule out the alternator and also check/test the man relay and ignition switch
