SPECIAL ROADSIDE PROBLEMS
The vehicle starts after a jump but shuts off again shortly afterward. That often means the problem is more than a temporarily discharged battery.

HOW WE MAY HELP
IMPORTANT LIMITS
A vehicle that will not stay running may have an alternator, charging-system, battery, cable, belt, or electrical failure. Roadside service cannot repair those problems, and towing may be required.
ANSWERS BEFORE YOU CALL
Sometimes a healthy charging system can restore some charge, but a vehicle that dies again should not be trusted for normal driving.
It is a common possibility, but the symptom alone is not a complete diagnosis. Battery, cable, belt, and electrical faults can look similar.
Repeated jumpstarts are not a safe substitute for repair. If the vehicle will not remain running, arrange towing or mechanical diagnosis.
Call with your exact location, vehicle information, and roadside problem.
