Has anyone had a problem with their altenator going in out in less than 16,000 miles. My wife 1999 se is in service right now because I think the altenator went bad already. We were driving around Mannheim locally and her battery light came on. Then all of her dash lights came on. Then everything got dim and the car started runing funny. Well its at the dealer right now and hopefully they can fix the problem sometime soon. Anyone that had this same problem please tell me what exactly was wrong with your car.
