gnaw_divad, regarding the brakes, it sounds like you still have some air in the system. It's normal to have to go through the rotation 2-3 times.
Regarding the car dying, it sounds more like a weak battery or something is still drawing current after the car is shut off. If you get a jump and after running the car for a while you can start it back up, the alternator is doing its job. The only way I can think of to troubleshoot this problem is with a amp meter. Measure the current from the battery when the car is shut off. My first guess would be the battery though. Take it to a service center and ask them to check the battery. -JoeB
