| Description of the problem | Alternator suddenly failed while i was driving down busy interstate. Luckily i was able to get to side of road without incident. I see there is a recall on like year/models for this very thing, however my vin is not included in this recall, so i am having to pay out of pocket for tow, alternator and labor.... And possible new battery and other electrical things, because alternator got hot and burned causing complete electrical shutdown of vehicle, so we are still unaware of complete damage done. |
