Consumer Description

SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, MY DASHBOARD FLASHED BATTERY SAVER. I THOUGHT IT WAS MAYBE MY KEY FAB SINCE I WASN'T HAVING ANY OTHER ISSUES. WHEN I GOT HOME, I TRIED TO LOCK AND SET THE ALARM WITH THE KEY FAB AND IT WOULDN'T WORK. I TRIED LOCKING MY DOORS MANUALLY, AND IT WOULDN'T WORK THAT WAY EITHER. FINALLY AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS (AND THINKING FOR SURE IT WAS THE KEY FAB) THE CAR LOCKED MANUALLY. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR OUT THE NEXT DAY TO TEST IT AND HEARD A WHINING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND SAID BATTERY SAVER WAS FLASHED ON THE SCREEN AS WELL, AFTER HE CHANGED THE KEY FAB BATTERY. HE LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND SAID HE THINKS IT IS THE ALTERNATOR. DID SOME RESEARCH THE NEXT DAY AND FOUND OUT THERE IS A RECALL ON ALTERNATOR DUE TO BE ANNOUNCED ON 11/29/14. *TR
