1 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Had battery sensor problems witched cause the alternator not to charge the battery completely. As a result alternator got damaged and was left to install a new one.

2 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 12/05/2018

I had to replace the battery within the first year of me owning the vehicle. About 6 months ago I started having the same issue where my battery was dying. In addition to that my. Car started making a funny noise. Turns out I needed my tensioner/alternator pulley replaced and that is when they noticed that the alternator was not charging correctly. It was measuring at 11 volts instead of the normal 14v. I had to have it replaced along with my belt tensioner. I spent 600 and then I learned that there was a recall on Hondas for the same issue but my car was not included in the list. I don't see why not when it was almost the identical issue. This is the first car I have ever bought and I bought a Honda because of its reputation for dependability. The alternator should not have given out within the first three years of owning the vehicle.
