Description of the problem	While driving home with my 11yr old son my car started making a high pitch sound. Then all the dashboard lights came on and the car stalled.

Had the car diagnosed and was told the alternator had went bad. The cost for parts and labor is 900-1000$. I have not had the vehicle fixed.
