Consumer Description

THIS CAR HAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. I SAW A LOW BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING. I REPLACED THE BATTERY WITH A NEW BATTERY FROM AUTO PARTS STORE. THAT NEW BATTERY DIED ON ONE WEEK. HAD TO TOW MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC. DIAGNOSED WITH A WEAK ALTERNATOR. NOT A DEAD ALTERNATOR BUT A WEAK ALTERNATOR. I WAS TOLD THIS IS COMMON WITH THE GENESIS CARS. THE WEAK ALTERNATOR CAUSED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS FOR THE REST OF THE CAR CAUSING WEIRD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS OCCASIONALLY.
