Hello! I have a 2015 Mazda CX-5 with 72k miles.
About a month ago, my car wouldn't start. Someone from AAA came out and tested my battery and said I needed a new one (which seemed reasonable since I had never replaced the battery on this car since buying it). I replaced the battery and everything seemed fine. Then 3 weeks after replacing the battery, my car wouldn't start again. I got a jump start and it seemed fine, but the next day again my car wouldn't start. I got it jump started to drive it to my mechanic, but I only made it 50 feet before I had no power and the check engine light, TCS light, and tire pressure light came on. I got it towed to my mechanic and he said I needed a new alternator. He replaced the alternator and everything seemed fine for about a week. Then again my car wouldn't start. The same thing happened where after getting it jump started, the check engine light, TCS light, and tire pressure light came on and I lost power steering.
Any ideas of what could be wrong? I've replaced the battery and alternator and I'm still having the same issues.
