Consumer Description

BATTERY LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON. THEN RADIO GOES OUT, WITH LOW BATTERY READING ACROSS THE RADIO. THEN LIGHTS START TO DIM. ALL METERS STOP WORKING ON THE DASH AND THEN THE CAR JERKS WHILE DRIVING AND DIES AS IT WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. REPLACED BATTERY ASSUMING SINCE THIS WAS THE DASH WARNING. AS SOON AS I PULL OFF WITH THE NEW BATTERY, THE BATTERY LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AGAIN. HAD TO GET CAR TOWED AND AFTER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING IT SHOWS THE ALTERNATOR IS BAD. READ MANY REVIEWS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING. THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, BUT OVER THE WARRANTY AS FAR AS MILEAGE IS CONCERNED. HAD PREVIOUS CARS WITH MANY MORE MILES THAN THE FOCUS HAS WITH 56000 AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE ALTERNATOR. *TR
