Car Stopped by itself,doesn't start, its new battery?

Car Mitsubishi gallant 97, today the car was making some weird noises and stopped by itself with some little noise.Car has a new battery, recent oil change.The dashboard indicates an battery issue.

What could be the problem?Car Stopped by itself,doesn't start, its new battery?Was the battery indicator on when the car was running rough? If so have the battery recharged and the alternator checked for it most likely went bad.

May be the starter, or a cable could be loose on the battery since it was just replaced.

alternator bad
what were all of your gauges reading?... could be the alternator... although if it was the alternator you generally know when you try to start it.. very few cars die on the road cause of an alternator... that sounds like a bad ground somewhere... but thats your best bet
I'd check the alternator first.
Probably a bad Alternator but you should make sure all the wires are tightly connected to the battery and not corroded. Sometimes it's just a poor connection.
well does it try to start if it trys its not the battery, it could be alternator, timing,fuel filter, do you know anyone who works on cars that could take look? sorry that answered with a question but its hard to say whats the prob
The battery could have a manufacturers defect and so it's still possible your new battery is bad. Aside from which other causes could be a bad connection to your battery or to your ignition wiring. It could also be your ignition switch on the steering column. Or it could be your alternator, voltage regulator, other electrical connections like the cables going to your alternator and even to your starter motor or starter solenoid.



Make sure there is no corrosion on the wiring at all and that all electrical contacts are tight and clean.
Check the alternator.
