Description of the problem | While traveling at a speed of 55 mph on the highway with my daughter in the car, the charging system light came on and seconds later the car killed. All power was lost and thankfully i wasn't in an intersection or anything and i was able to pull the vehicle over towards the shoulder. Vehicle would not start after. Got someone to try to jump it off but it would die as soon as we would take the cables off. Had battery tested and it was fine so pulled the alternator and it was dead. Never heard of having to replace an alternator on a vehicle that is only four years old. |
