Consumer Description

I HAD AN ALTERNATOR REPLACED AFTER MY CAR COMPLETELY DIED WHILE DRIVING IN NOVEMBER. I FOUND OUT THAT THEY PUT IN A SIMILAR PART BUT DIDN'T PUT IN THE OFFICIAL REPLACEMENT PART UNTIL 8 MONTHS LATER. I COULD HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR AGAIN AND PUT MYSELF AND SON IN DANGER IF IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY LIKE THE FIRST TIME. NOW THEY ARE FINALLY DOING IT BUT DIDN'T TELL ME IT WASN'T COMPLETE UNTIL I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR ANOTHER ISSUE. DURING THAT TIME I STARTED GETTING A BAD KEY MESSAGE AND THE RED SECURITY SYSTEM DOT ON MY INDICATOR PANEL WOULDN'T SHUT OFF. AT TIMES LEAVING ME STRANDED AND WOULDN'T START. I TOOK IT IN 3 WEEKS AGO AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT. THEN OUT OF THE BLUE IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN AND I HAD TO REQUEST A TOW SINCE IT WOULDN'T START. THEY ARE SAYING IT'S THE WIN MODULE., BUT I AM NOT CONVINCED. I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS CAN BE AN EFFECT OF THE ALTERNATOR ZAPPING THE SYSTEM WHEN MY CAR DIED AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WENT HAYWIRE. IT ZAPPED MY BATTERY AND IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE SAME WIN MODULE IN MY CAR THAT IS IN OTHER MAKES AND MODELS HAS BEEN RECALLED IN SEVERAL OTHER CARS BUT NOT MINE. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO.
