| ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR | |||
| 02/01/1997 | |||
| Each year since the purchase of this oldsmobile i have had to replace my alternator. i previously owned a 1989 oldsmobile and had to do the same. the hesitating/stalling problem is what originally prompted me to get rid of my 1989 and purchase a newer version. i have owned this car for three and one half years and am just now experiencing similar problems. the problem was never identified/corrected in the 1989 car but hopefully, the dealer can correct the problem in my current car. i do an awful lot of driving and do not want to end up on the side of the road with a dead car, nor do i want to enter an intersection and have my car cut out on me. i hope this is correctable! *ak | |||
