Hello all,

I have a 2003 Jeep Liberty and recently I've had some problems. I went to start the car and the starter seemed really sluggish. After turning off my car and attempting to start it again, the car would not run.

After calling Roadside Assistance, the mechanic claimed the battery cap came off and all of the battery fluid splashed out, thus causing the battery to die and the alternator to carry all of the workload. He replaced the battery fluid with bottled water, jumped the car, and it seemed to run fine so long as I did not let the engine idle (the car dies when idling). After carefully driving for several miles, the car seemed to start again without problem for a few days. But sure enough, this morning it would not start again. So I give it a jump once again. As soon as I let off the accelerator, the engine dies.

Does this sound like an alternator problem? Thank you!
 
sounds more like a battery problem you know most parts store and shop check the charging system for free and wil let you know which one it is thats bad before gussing and spending a bunch of money on parts you dont need jump start but this time let it stay on other battery for a while so th eother car can charge the dead one and then drive to nearest shop or parts store and ask them to check it
