Consumer Description

I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM SINCE THE FIRST DAY OF PURCHASE. IT STARTED WITH THE HEADLIGHT FLICKERING. UNLIKE THE OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCE, I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED 3 TIMES, 2 ALTERNATERS, CD PLAYER REPLACED, AC ON/OFF SWITCH REPLACED, TIME DELAY MODULE FOR THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REPLACED, CAR ALARM DISCONNECTED, AND NOW CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. USUALLY WORKS FINE FOR ABOUT 3-6 MONTHS THE I HAVE NOTICED THE FLICKERING (AT NIGHT), AND THE ALT METER DROPS AT IDLE TO ABOUT 12 VOLTS. THIS HAS GONE INTO THE EXTENDED WARRANTY NOW AND VERY SOON THE WARRANTY WILL EXPIRE. I WAS TOLD BY THE WARRANTY COMPANY THAT AFTER IT EXPIRES, THEY DO NOT COVER PRE-EXISTING PROBLEMS. THEY ARE NOW CONDUCTING A TEST AND CHANGING SOME CONNECTORS ON THE ALTERNATER, AND IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THE COST. FLICKERING AT NIGHT IS ONE THING WITH OTHER CARS. RESOLVING A PROBLEM ON A 40K CAR IS ANOTHER. PLEASE HELP
