Consumer Description

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER REALLY BAD, USUALLY WHEN VEHICLE ISN'T AT TEMPERATURE AND ACCELERATING. I USUALLY WATCH MY DIGITAL VOLTMETER AND MY VOLTAGE JUMPS FROM 12 VOLTS TO 15.5 (NORMAL OPERATING VOLTAGE IS USUALLY 14.8) ALMOST INSTANTLY BACK AND FORTH. I DROVE IT ON ITS FIRST LONG DISTANCE RUN OF ABOUT 80 MILES AND AFTER MY LIGHTS FLICKERED FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR A MONTH AGO AND WHILE I WAS READING THE MAINTENANCE LOG THE ALTERNATOR HAS JUST BEEN REPLACED. *NM
