1 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 12/29/2020

My vehicle has 27400 miles and purchased April 4th 2018. My car battery light came on while driving. Took to dealership where I bought it. They replaced my battery and told me I didn't need a rental car. I went back to work 15 minutes away. Got off in 5 hours after replacement picked up my infant drove home which is 20 minutes away. As I was driving 15 minutes into my ride my lights start going crazy and the alternator light comes on and the car dies on the side of the road. How does this happen on a brand new car?.

2 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 01/24/2020

SUV was making a loud whining sound took it in to be checked and was told the alternator was bad. Had it changed by dealership, I feel this should not have failed this soon when the SUV is less than 2 yrs old. Now the passengers side strut is gone bad.
