    OK, My car on a few occasions, not all the time, will start and then immediately shut off. It will do it about 3 or 4 times, then the battery is dead and will not crank over. I have had it boosted, and then it starts and stays running. This will then not happen again for a few weeks, then all of a sudden, it will do the same thing.

    Going in today to see if it is a Battery Issue, but not sure because this will only happen occasionally and not every time it sits overnight. Had CAA look at the Alternator and they said that it was fine because there was no light on the dash (Battery Icon).

    Any thoughts as to what this could be before we buy a new battery?

    UPDATE -- Replaced the Battery and the issue has gone away. Garage stated it was a bad cell in the Battery that caused the issue.
