Captiva electrical problems
My 2012 Chevy Captiva has the same electrical problems as described over and over again on these forums. Radio will go off randomly, lights will flicker, the car will not start and the key will get stuck (the car is completely dead), only to be working fine a few minutes later.
I saw somewhere that it had something to do with the battery cables and/ or sensor. Can anyone confirm? I want to get it fixed, but as a single parent I don't have money to spend on endless diagnostics. I already had my car in the shop twice and they couldn't fix it.
