****My car keeps losing power and turning off randomly- need help!****

Question

First off, i drive a 96 Honda accord V6. Its in good condition, but this problem has been bugging me:

My car has been losing power and at times turning off randomly when i am using more electricity(as in radio, AC and rolling windows all down at once) this only happens when i am stopped. When i slow down i feel the car almost shuddering(almost as if i had a pressure leak) and the lights will dim. the battery as alot of acid erosion around the positive and negative connections. I am curious if it is has to do with the acid on the battery, or if the battery needs to be replaced in general- also (i dont know if this has much to do with it) but the AC works well when the car is moving, but as soon as i am stopped the air is not as cool.

anyway, any thoughts would be very appreciated!

Answer 1

my answer is try to check it out first on auto repair shop..,

Answer 2

I'm not an expert, but have had many repairs done on my Honda Accord.

What your describing sounds like what happened when my Alternator went-- but it also sounds like when my boyfriend had eroded battery cables.

Unless you get some kicka** answers on here, I'd suggest bringing it to a local shop or the dealership before it leaves you stranded like it left me!
