Description of the problem	Thursday afternoon, there was a faint sound of a belt whirring or similar, but no change to driving. Gabriel noted a weird smell when we parked at home, but i didn't smell it. I drove to a meeting and noticed the sound again, but no lights on or change to driving. Friday morning, i drove to school and the battery light came on, but no other changes. Friday afternoon i drove from school at 1:20 to hwy 12 and mission on my way home. Within a few blocks the battery light came on and a notice to go to battery save mode came on. By middle rincon, i started to smell something, but no change otherwise. At that light, another driver waved me down and we pulled into valero. He helped me lift the hood, which had billowing smoke by then coming out, and he said it looked like the alternator, but did not see fire. I then called lithia and then aaa to get a tow to lithia, because i was concerned about driving it any further. I was charged $5 for the extra . 2 miles of the 5. 2 miles it took me to get towed. I remembered that when i got my oil change in late dec-early jan, bob told me there was a recall on the alternator, but there was no part or solution available yet. I did not receive a recall letter, but researched today that people received it in july 2017. My dealership insists on going through my extended warranty and a $200 deductible and did not give me a car for the days it's been there so far. I have filed a complaint with the company's recall department.
