Consumer Description

ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY FAILED SIMULTANEOUSLY - WHILE DRIVING CAR TO GARAGE FOR REPAIR, ENGINE CUT OUT COMPLETELY AND I WAS UNABLE TO USE HAZARD FLASHERS TO SIGNAL DANGER (AND COULD NOT OPEN ELECTRIC WINDOWS TO USE HAND SIGNALS). I DON'T THINK THIS IS SPECIFIC TO THE HONDA CIVIC BUT THIS SEEMS LIKE A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. EMERGENCY BATTERY BACKUP FOR HAZARD FLASHERS MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA FOR FUTURE DESIGNS.
