It was 930 at night I was driving my car home to drop off going on vacation ..my car started stalling out and all lights went out.. As I brake my car jumped 3 to 5 feet.. It was like the brakes surged .. Lights flashing .. Very dangerous because if I would of been on my way to work on freeway I could of been in a dangerous accident.. The car did not stop when applied the brake instead it acted like I was pushing the accelerator... I had to shut car out put in neutral and have it pushed in my garage to prevent going through wall... I never heard of a alternator doing this.. My car was just at dealership aprox 3 wks before that for a recall .. (stalling ) they said it was not related to that...

I was driving my 2004 acura tsx on route 29 in gainesville va, it is a major 4 lane divided highway. While slowing down to make a left hand turn onto a side street, the car stalled in the middle of the southbound lanes. I attempted to restart the engine with no luck, the lights in the car remained on, but the engine would not start. The car is black and this incident occurred at 5:30 am. I had to grab my newborn infant from the back seat and run from the car because it would not start and cars were traveling 60 MPH in the southbound lane headed directly for my car, which could have caused a serious accident.
