The Forte 2010 have an electric problem?

Three weeks ago on the road suddenly go down revolutions at 900rpm and don't permitted accelerate the engine, I turn off the vehicle and wait for 10 seconds and start again and now I will be able to accelerated. Last weekend don't start, the battery apparently are dead, I buy a new one and problem is "resolved". Today the car don't start again like dead battery....AAAAHHHHHH, THE BATTERY IS NEW!!!

Hello
The engine and automatic transmission in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM (Power Train Control Module). Whenever a problem like this occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM

Testimonial: "Thanks for your help, the problem was the battery, the other one are damage. "

    Autozone batteries are poor quality, i got 3 bad ones in a row and finally bought a name brand i trust and that solved the problem to this day, 9 years later same battery, you get what you pay for just like my mechanic Dad said.

Go to Auto Zone to get the fault codes read. They'll do it for free. Then, they can tell you exactly what parts are going bad.

SOURCE: Battery keeps going dead. Especially

it may maybe that the alternator doesnt give out the specific amount of electricity to properly charge your battery. you may have to run some tests on the alternator itself to see if it is giving out the proper current to charge.

Does the fuel pump stay running at all like when you shut off the engine?

Power steering suddenly went out - no noticeable signs

Shouldn't be too difficult. But before you let the blind lead the blind, you should get advice from someone familiar with the Alero system. No pulley for the pump? I wonder how it gets its power, then. Is it possible there's an electric motor for the pump? ( Letting you know how blind I am on this.)
Just saying don't start throwing a lot of new, expensive parts at it till you know more about it. Little things like variable assist may be a factor at play here. Anyway, I hope someone from here can help you more.

Llo@my brakes were done three weeks ago a clean and adjust, iherd a sticking sound but it went away should i be concerned

Instead of being concerned or being here, i would have
been diagnosing the problem somehow

Take of the wheels & start somewhere

I don't like bashing the pros, but i doubt what you paid
for, should make any noises you don't remember
