Description of the problem | I was driving in the rain when the internal lights started to flicker. This was followed by the radio shutting off, headlights dimming before turning off, and wiper blades failing. This was quite dangerous as it was dark out and raining, and i had no wipers or headlights. Fortunately, i was lucky enough to get off the road before the car failed entirely. The car would not restart, and i had to get towed to a mechanic. The mechanic diagnosed the problem as a faulty alternator, which also caused the battery to fail. The mechanic replaced both components for $630. 80. |
