Description of the problem	I was in a slow head on crash, to avoid hitting other cars person swerved into my lane. Didn't even set the airbags off. As soon as the accident occurred my brake & battery light came on. When i got the car back the lights were still lit, took it back & they blamed it on a belt. I had put a reconditioned alternator in 11 days before the accident, drove fine with a questionable battery. Now the power steering work occasionally & the alternator is not charging the battery. I just want my car to work like it did before the accident. But i must say this is the fourth alternator i have put in this vehicle, three rebuilt, but the third one was brand new, i am averaging an alternator every two years. Bought this car used in the same year it came out & it only had 16,000 miles. It now has approximately 90,000. I wish my problem was only frequently burn out lights. Replaced two serpentine belts, one left that goes to the power steering. So glad that kid was texting or something to cause this accident, now i have a car that is worthless to me as i can't drive it. The bodyshop put a new battery in it, it lasted 3 days. Wish i would've just stay home that day.
