1 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 06/20/2016

The alternator isn't charging the battery fully according to my voltmeter. According to the kia dealership I just needed a new battery. This is the 3rd battery already. Luckily the car seems to die after it is parked. Also while driving it on the highway it accelerated on its own once and interior lights flickered and radio cut out. Hoping it is just a freak occurrence because the battery was weak.
