Current issue - while waiting in a fast food line the battery light came on. . . After receiving food - I pulled into a parking spot and before I could turn the vehicle off, it started giving off error codes related to various electrical items not being available - first warning - svc. Air suspension - second - blind spot detection not available - third evic error - fourth - adaptive cruise not available. . . Then died and smelt like burning rubber when I exited the vehicle. . . A failed effort by roadside service to jump the vehicle did manage to turn on the windshield wipers which wouldn't turn off but that's all that accomplished so I had roadside service put it on a flatbed and tow it to my house since nothing was opened and I didn't want to leave it somewhere with the windows down (of course they wouldn't roll up). . . Pretty clearly this should be part of the t39 alternator recall that was issued due to bad diodes which cause the alternator to fry the electrical components with very little warning. . . The car should die and then the replacement of the alternator should rectify the situation. . . Not - the light comes on - the car immediately dies - and then you need a new pcm or ecm and all new wiring. . . Issue #2 - the suspension has been a total fiasco accumulating $13,000 in dealer assessments not under warranty - the whole system has gone out within 80,000 miles and even after replacing 2 air struts - 2 upper control arms - the tie rods end links - and the cv axles - and the compressor - it still sounds like a rickety bucket of junk. . . When driving - always. Issue #3 - the water pump continuously fails. - not sure if when driving but one would suspect that to be the case.
