Consumer Description

Vehicle emitted multiple warnings via dashboard displays. Called dealer's service department and they advised to bring vehicle to dealership as soon as possible. They suspected the car was experiencing pending failure of the generator or alternator, which could result in an immediate loss of all electronics, posing a serious risk while driving. I attempted to drive car the 10-15 miles to the dealership the next morning and all systems failed. Dealer confirmed issue was related to the suspected generator or alternator issue.
