With about 13000 miles on it the vehicle would not stay running and the battery gauge was under 9. I got the vehicle started and drove to the dealership. They replaced the alternator. They would not cover a loaner or rental since I was able to drive the car to the dealership. If I would have had it towed they would have covered a rental. 2 weeks later same problem repeated. …”

NHTSA complaint #760089, filed 2002-04“There was no events leading up to this failure... The problem is the body frame around the striker plate on the drivers side door, is ripping apart.
