 Description of the problemSunday i was riding home from getting something to eat i was going about 47 mph whenmy battery power saver indicator lit up. So i was a little confused of what was going on. Then all of a sudden my speedometer and everything on my dashboard started going crazy, and then it went out. So i thought it best for me to pull over into a gas station, but when i tried to pull over it was hard for me to turn the steering wheel and when i press the gas the car wasn't moving it was just moving with the speed it was already going. Thankfully i was by heel and i rode down into the gas station. I tried to turn the car off but i couldn't because all the power in the dashboard had going out all the power was gone. So the car literally drained itself of power for the next two minutes and then it drained out completely of power. So i set a few minutes and the battery did recharge enough for me to make it home. The next day i went to advanced auto maybe a quarter-mile from my house and i had them do a battery and alternator check. What came up was the alternator was bad it was not sending enough current to the battery and that the battery was being drained. This is a 2012 car with 61,000 miles on it. I have not done any alterations on this car everything is factory, and i've got it maintenance when it needed maintenance like my oil change and changing the differential fluids nothing major though. I have also taken it back for all the recalls as well. This cars alternator should not go out this early in the cars life use their is something wrong. This is a very big safety issue because a car was coming as i was trying to pull in the gas station and i was hitting the gas pedal and it would not go thankfully the call slowed down enough for me to make it in. Please check i see other people are having problems with this alternator issue early in there cars life this should not be happening.
