My son's car is a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe. The vehicle was shuddering then the engine died and a message came on to check belts. From what we can see the belts seem ok. Since that time it has been jumped and will start (only when jumped) but will not continue to run. Both the alternator and the battery have been checked and both check out ok.

If jumping it makes a difference, then you have a battery issue among other possible issues.

Would the battery still test ok if it had something wrong with it?

I don't have a lot of confidence in that testing. The bottom line is, if jumping the car makes a difference, all you are adding is battery power. You may also have a charging system problem that led to this.

It is kind of strange but my son and husband took both the alternator and battery to another automotive store and they both checked out ok again. So they took them and put both back in the vehicle, it started up and he drove it home. I don't have any idea what the problem was but at least for now it is running again.
Thanks for your advice and patience.

You probably had a bad connection at the battery.

if this problem comes back, I've had an alternator that had an intermittent failure with a piece inside of it...for the life of me i cannot think of the part name tho. but it would work sometimes and other times not, the power in the car would drop would have to keep the accelerator pressed to keep the car running. it totally drained the battery.
(edit - don't like to touch a regular's posts here but will use my own "Google" tool bar's spell checker that will do yours and mine all at once!)

Look back a couple posts. Love that Google speck program. Free download. Does whole pages! I need it if nothing more than to help catch typos. Just Google for the download and choose the tool bar from there. Can get rid of it in couple clicks if you don't like it,
