Default 2012 r350

I purchased this vehicle 3 years ago and honestly the worst purchase in my life. I still own it after many expensive repairs.

So this issue now that has me scratching my head occurred 1.5 weeks ago.

My headlights started flickering like a turn signal and than my battery light came on. I immediately pulled over and got it towed. I was 2 hours away from home so it was a long night.

Left the car at the mechanic after the car was able to drive on and off the flat bed. The rear lights were on the whole time and not sure why it didn't turn off even when the car was off. The next morning the mechanic had to charge the battery since it was completely dead.and started the car. Now here is the issue. Nothing was wrong. He checked the alternator and the battery and he says everything looks good.

I am now scared to drive my car.

Hello and welcome to the forum! Before spending any money on repairs, I would suggest pulling the car's codes - this should give you a good idea as to where the issue(s) are coming from. Please let us know if you have any other questions or if we can assist with any future part needs.
