Consumer Description

ON 3-29-2014 I WAS DRIVING MY CAR TO THE GYM AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF STARTED FLASHING AFTER I PARKED THE CAR AND FINISHED FROM GYM 1 HOUR LATER THE CAR WOULDN'T TURNED ON . THEN IT TURNED ON AND WOULDN'T GO THE BREAK LIGHT CAME ON . AFTER THAT THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF NOTHING WORKING I COULDN'T EVEN ROLL UP THE WINDOWS AND I WAS UNABLE TO EVEN OPEN THE TRUNK . I TOWED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP I DO HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND I ASKED THEM WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS DAMAGED AND THEY SWITCHED IT . I ASKED THEM WAS CAUSED THE ISSUE SO I CAN PREVENT IT . THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS HAPPENS . SO IF I WAS ON THE HIGH WAS AND DRIVING 70MPH AND THE ALTERNATOR STOPS WORKING MOST LIKELY I WILL CRASH TO ANOTHER CAR OR MY CAR WILL JUST STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGH WAS AND COULD KILL ME OR SOMEONE ELSE . NOW IM PLANNING TO TRADE IN MY CAR BECAUSE NO ONE EXPLAINS TO ME HOW TO PREVENT THIS ISSUE FROM HAPPENING THIS IS SERIOUS PROBLEM . ONCE THE ALTERNATOR STOPS WORKING . NOTHING WORKING IN YOUR CAR NOTHING SO HOW CAN I TRUST A CAR LIKE THIS ?? *TR
