| The alternator on my 2006 kia spectra ex went out with warning and the call stalled on the highway. my cousin and i were stranded on the highway for 3.5 hours before help arrived. both of us were sunburned and i am a heart patient, who suffered from heat exhaustion and dehydration on this day. kia did not honor the 10 year or 100,000 warranty. my car only have 76,000 miles. paid nearly $400 for a rebuilt alternator. caused great hardship and physical conditions over this issue. *tr | |||
