It has a new battery, I had it checked three times at different auto parts store, and they say both alternator and battery are good.

Hi,
Was the alternator tested when the light was on? Also, are the battery terminals clean, tight, and free of corrosion?
Do me a favor. When the light is on, I need you to check the alternator output. Here is a link that explains how it's done. You will need either a voltmeter or a multimeter. Do this and let me know the results.

I will watch for your reply. I'm suggesting this because it seems the alternator may be in the process of failing. It may have been doing the job when it was being checked.
Let me know.
