| Battery warning light on, seat belt light flashing. had to turn off all electrical components (ac, fan, radio, lights, ...) and rushed to the dealership. replaced the alternator at the dealership, where i was told there's a design flaw with oil dripping on the alternator and causing premature failure. i believe such a failure, which would've disabled the car, is definitely a safety hazard under not-so-uncommon conditions, such as at night, in a remote area or unsafe neighborhood. from online research, it will happen again with the replaced alternator since the root cause is not addressed, when in most other cars, the alternator would still be the original. *tr | |||
