After warming up for 10-15 min. Car will drive about a mile. Electrical starts "chattering" and flashing errors. Then it shuts down. Motor stop but car stays in accessory mode. Check engine light stays on try to start. Nothing. Even shut off then try again. After about 5 min car will re-start.

Have you checked to make sure that the battery cables are clean and tight?That the battery and alternator are good?Sounds like it might be a bad computer going out I would start with what I suggested. Then have a full computer scan of all the computers with a professional scan tool. A diyer scan tool or a free code read at the auto parts store cant read all the computers. Then write down the exact code numbers you have not code descriptions and get back to me.
