1 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 06/02/2020

The vehicle was driving on a local highway when the message �service charge system now�. The battery icon appeared briefly on the dashboard. I continued driving and the same message reappeared every 5 minutes. The dealer told me they did not recognize the message, and to bring the vehicle in for service soon. They ran a �diagnostic � and determined it needed a new alternator. The vehicle is seven months old and has less than 15,000 miles. It is still in for service as the dealer did not have a replacement alternator in stock.
