traction control came on and then the car died. I
stopped for about 5 minutes and then tried to
restart the car it started up only to do the same

nothing worked. What could be the problem the
mechanic seems not to know what's going on with

Your mechanic should be able to hook up a diagnostic and see what the engine codes are since all your warning lights are on and the check engine light.

My 08 done this exact thing. I took it back to the dealer to have them look at it. They said it was my speed sensors on my tires.

My 08 avenger was doing the same thing auto zone tested my battery and alternator and said everything was fine. My mechanic wasn't sure what it was, so he replaced my alternator and it ran perfect.
