Description of the problem | When driving my car the alternator failed and started smoking without warning. The car lost all power luckily i was able to cost to safely and get off the road. My problem is i seen a recall for this very issue but my vin was not in the recall. This is completely unacceptable as my failure was exactly what the recall is for. Not only did my alternator short out and almost catch fire it fried my pcm. Now it sits in the shop and is costing me almost $1500 to fix. How is it ok for them to only recall some cars and mine has the exact same safety recall but my vin is not covered |
