While driving the vehicle, I get an 'alternator failure - battery might not be charging' warming, few seconds later the car almost completely shut down, the steering wheel becomes super stiff, can't accelerate, I almost hit a car next to me while trying to get out of the road and park in a safe place! Luckily was a 35 mph zone, in the highway would have been really dangerous! I towed to a shop and yes, is the alternator. The car should give an earlier warning and definitely not shut down while driving!

Vehicle shut down completely while in motion on a busy street.Steering where became very hard to maneuver could have caused an accident due to shutdown. Tried to restart ignition in order to drive it off the road but kept shutting down completely. All electrical and components were not working. Even in neutral the steering where was very hard to turn. It turned out to be the fuel pump which cost $1400 to replace.

I received a recall notice for disconnecting electric coolant pump. I called two dealers and they said they did not have any parts and did not know when the parts would be available. However, the recall notice states "until the recall work is done, you should park outdoors as a precaution in case of a vehicle fire due to the safety defect". I was told to keep calling back to see if they had any parts in. This is unacceptable. This is a huge safety issue if my car could catch on fire. Who can help me with this??
