| Description of the problem | Alternator failed while driving on the highway. Luckily i was in bumper to bumper traffic so the speed was only about 10 mph but i think that had i been going 65 that the potential for an accident etc. Would be very likely. You lose all ability to accelerate, imagine pulling off onto a street with a failure like this and a car coming in the other direction? Steering is slighly compromised as well. Again, i was lucky and coasted to the side of the road, someone else may not be as lucky.*ak pe04077_cat |
