 Description of the problemWhile driving my entire instrument panel started shorting out. Before i was able to stop my car it completely died leavin me without steering capability. I couldn't even open the trunk where the actual battery is. The battery was completely dead. The problem turned out to be the alternator. I had to repair the alternator rotor and get a new rectifier and bearings. The manufacturer would not cover this under warranty. I believe this part was faulty and should be recalled. Apparently the premature failure of this part it is commonplace for this vehicle. I wasn't going very fast and was able to begin pulling over and slowing down. As it was i did not have enough inertia and was still partially in the road way. Had i been on the freeway, this could have been deadly. I did not even receive a battery low warning previous to this incident.
