Check the connections to your car battery. Make sure they are not loose and you cannot wiggle them. If it's not your battery connection, then it sounds like your alternator--which is responsible for the electricity and battery recharging while the engine is running--could be going bad.

Either your battery isn't holding a charge or the alternator isn't putting out. My guess is the battery but take the car to a garage or parts store. Some parts stores (call first) will check them both for free.

yeah i woul say your alternator is bad, cars do some crazy things when the alternator is on its way out. my wifes last car had all the guages and speedo going nuts while she was driving. have your alternator tested and battery if those are both fine your car may have a wire between the alternater and starter motor, when that wire gets corroded it can give you similar issues and will need to be changed.
