Description of the problem | My alternator shorted out at 78k miles, the 160amp alternator has a recall p60, however the 180amp that i have is not covered. I had my kids in the car in morning rush hour traffic when it frayed the drive belt filling cabin with smoke, then lost power steering as luckily i was able to muscle the steering wheel to turn into parking lot. Shop i went to was shocked to hear a 2011 was already failing. |
