Consumer Description

ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES, IT WILL STALL AND THEN JUST DIE, THE FUSES ARE A ONGOING THING THEY JUST KEEP BLOWING LIKE THERE IS A SHORT IN THE BOX , IT IS ALWAYS THE # 11 FUSE, THIS CAR ONLY HAS 38000 MILES ON IT. BUT I KNOW THERE IS A SHORT IN THE WIRING AND I THINK THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE ALTERNATOR TO KEEP GOING OUT. IT ALSO MISSES BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MILES AN HR. I HAVE REPLACED PLUGS AND PLUG WIRES AND NOTHING HELPS IT. I GOT THIS CAR FROM A MAN THAT WAS 78 YRS OLD AND HE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW, HE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR TWICE AND I HAVE REPLACED IT 1 TIME SINCE SEPT. WHEN I GOT THE CAR. FROM ALL THE REPORTS I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED, BEFORE 1 BURNS AND HURTS SOMEBODY. *AK
