Alternator/generator/regulator problem #1

It was determined by my local Cadillac service department that the alternator was faulty, drawing excessive current while the engine was off. I mentioned the recall on this model and they said it had already been replaced so it is not covered. I feel that this is an ongoing problem and should be replaced under this program.

Electrical System problem #2

While my wife was driving the car at about 38 miles an hour the car just died or cut out ( the ignition system quit ), on her. This happened on two different times for her and once for myself.
