Description of the problem | The alternator shorted out with 48000 miles on it. The light came on and my wife drove it 1. 5 miles home. Alternator was smoking and completely shorted out/fried. While she managed to get it home this could have easily created an accident had she driven it longer. I am shocked that a failure like this can happen on a car in such a short amount of time. |
