In the North American market, 2006-2008 have a known design flaw with the voltage regulator. He is showing the exact early warning signs that the regulator is failing. Frankly I'm surprised he's gone this long without symptoms presenting themselves.

Could be as simple as a loose/frayed battery terminal. Always worth starting simple first and if it is the reg the terminals are all nice and clean to help them eliminate a future issue.

Car eventually died then revived itself in time for me to get home. Changed alternator and all is well. Thanks
