I think it's ridiculous that a 4 year old car needs a new alternator which costs over $1000. Luckily my extended warranty I purchased with vehicle covered the total repair costs to replace the alternator with a new one. I knew there was something wrong with the car when the radio would go in and out while driving and turn signals weren't working properly. Back up camera was glitching. New alternator And battery were the solution. This car is made cheap.
