My daughter is off at college with this car so I have not yet had a chance to see the car. She drove it back to college (about 200 Miles) 3 days ago and had no problems with the car. I have a local mechanic that has kept this car in tip top shape since we bought it from my folks 2 yrs ago who also kept it in great shape. My daughter call yesterday and said the car would not start, (I sent her off to school with several repair items to take care of emergencies including a set of jumper cables). She had her roommate help her jump the car which started and ran about 10 min. then just stopped running on it's own. She jumped it again, again it started right away but after about 3 min. just stopped on it's own. I'm guessing it's a loose battery cable connection, but I would like your input as this is a 7 hour round trip...
