I just got this car 3 weeks ago. it just got out the shop. but they didnt fix what i asked them to. my car is great in the day time. purs like a kitten. when it comes to night time when i have to turn my head lights on my car stalls. I really need help because i have two babies. and one night i was turning in a lot and my car cut off across the double lines and we almost got hit by a simi. it starts right back , but cannot have it doing this to me. my car has 54,800 on it so great!. i really need to fix this problem please help me. like i said it's only when i have to turn my head lights on. my car acts up.

sounds to me your alternator is bad may not be putting out enough juice to run everything causing hte lights, big power consumer to kill out the car.
