I have been to the dealer three times. When I put on my brakes, I feel my car trying to stall. Frequently, the dash lights come on. It stalls at times, but starts right up. Twice after this happens, the fuse has blown to my hardwired satellite radio. Both of the driver's side window motors have had to be replaced, as well. The dealer can't replicate the problem and says the car checks out fine on the computer.

Do you have that radio grounded correctly? Try to unhook it and see if you have the same problem. When did it start?

The problem started about one month ago. I had the satellite radio professionally installed 16 months ago.

There has to be something stored in your computer relevant to why these things are happening. Try going to autozone and have them do it. Put it on the scantool that is and tell them to check for stored dtc's. And get back. And just for the heck of it see if they can test your alternator and have your idle air control valve tested.
