Description of the problem | On 3-29-2014 i was driving my car to the gym and the abs light came on and off started flashing after i parked the car and finished from gym 1 hour later the car wouldn't turned on . Then it turned on and wouldn't go the break light came on . After that the car completely turned off nothing working i couldn't even roll up the windows and i was unable to even open the trunk . I towed the car to the dealership i do have extended warranty and i asked them what the problem was they told me that the alternator was damaged and they switched it . I asked them was caused the issue so i can prevent it . They said they have no idea how this happens . So if i was on the high was and driving 70mph and the alternator stops working most likely i will crash to another car or my car will just stop in the middle of high was and could kill me or someone else . Now im planning to trade in my car because no one explains to me how to prevent this issue from happening this is serious problem . Once the alternator stops working . Nothing working in your car nothing so how can i trust a car like this ?? |
