Alternator/generator/regulator problems of the 2001 Mazda Tribute

I filed a complaint yesterday. My complaint # was 10163178. This the dealership has finally diagnosed the problem with the car as a bad alternator. We hope that this will fix the problems we have experienced to date. However, the situation was dangerous, with the car shutting off while running. In all fairness to the dealership, the service technicians have been very nice and they did give us a loaner car. We still have a concern about the electrical system of the car in general (with all the things going wrong at one time). However, we trust that we will not be heading to the dealer any time soon.

At 36000 miles automatic transmission failed, at 4500 miles automatic transmission failed. At 45k000 miles altenator failed.

Vehicle going uphill, engine stopped, brakes were used to stop vehicle from rolling downhill, engine light, battery light and oil light came on. No components working inside of the car except the windows. Car remained stationary for 20 minutes waiting on help and then started after several tries. Slight shimmy while driving to the dealer, along with tachometer jumping about on at a steady speed.
