Left work about 4 days ago at night when I was driving on the highway and the truck cut out on me(no gas pedal) so I look down at the voltage gauge and its reading about 10v. . . . . So I thought to myself "ok well maybe the alternator finally went after all the [xxx]I put it through. "
went to pull over and here is where it gets weird, I went to hit the brakes and the pedal went to the floor, I coasted to the slow lane and turned my acc. Off and got it back home safely. Long story short I tested the alternator and battery, both of which were shorted/old/dead. . . . Replaced both at the tune of $191 for the alternator and $70 for the battery. Now, I hooked everything up today. Started the truck. . . Volt gauge is back at 10v. . . Then I see a small amount of smoke from under the hood, shut the truck off to find that the brake lines going from the master cylinder to the abs module are smoking. . . And the lines leaving the module are as well. I cooled everything down, went inside to grab a drink (4-5 min) and came back out and the truck was completely dead. . . Unhooked the battery and put it on a trickle charger for now. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Alternator failed on my 98 pickup. When changing I found that the original alternator was remanufactured . I bought this truck new and alternator was never changed. Complained to manufacturer - they responded " information not available" and they are "not in a position to move forward".
I own a 2001 Nissan Frontier crew cab and both front door windows have become difficult to open and close. The passenger side window dropped while driving. I was told the window regulators are at fault can you inform me if there is a recall on the window regulators for my vehicle ?.

2002 Nissan Frontier. Electrical component; alternator/generator/regulator. Experiencing exact same problem as described in the NHTSA campaign id #05v319000. 1) normal operation leading to failure. 2) consequence; battery and brake warning lamps come on and battery begins to discharge. Engine goes into fail safe mode, engine will stop and could result in crash. 3) dealer will not correct the problem without payment because the Frontier does not have this particular recall and the dealer states the vehicle has exceeded the 3yr warranty limit even though the vehicle was purchased new 26 months ago.
