“While driving on highway vehicle stalled and had to be towed. Technician opened the hood, and found out that cover under the hood (looked like a blanket for noise or fire) had almost caught on fire. Also, no power steering. Pieces that came loose went down into the alternator, causing it to burn up. Vehicle lost all power and the alternator had to be replaced.”
