Purchased this vehicle january 2015. At this time I now have 73000 miles on it. While driving the wrench and lightening bolt flashes on and off really fast multiple times and the car began to jerk. It only lasts a few seconds but now it keeps doing it and im scared it will cause an accident. I took it to my local Buick dealership and they said no codes were found, but my battery test failed so I paid for a battery replacement. However the battery that was replaced was only a year old! Even with the battery replaced it still happens and we cannot figure out why. What would cause a battery to fail in a years time? What would cause that specific light to flicker and the car began jerking. No codes are showing up on their system so they cannot figure out why it is happening. And of cour
