So I was on my way to school this morning, Yeah, school on Saturday morning, anyways, the message center said check charging system. The anti-lock brakes light came on and the tach was stuck at 1100. It also started to spit and sputter with a lack of power. I got to school and shut it off and it wouldn't start.
About two hours into class my remote start key fob beeped as if I had shut the car off, but it wasn't on to begin with. After class I went out and it started right away so I drove off. Not far down the road it did it again. This time the stereo lights went out, the climate control lights went out, the message center went out and it really ran like crap. I had to remove the alternator and take it to PepBoys to be tested. It was bad. I tried to exchange it without the receipt cause I should be in the computer but they couldn't find me in there. He asked if I was sure I bought it there. He said that the number on it wasn't one of their numbers. I went home to get the receipt. He got me another one, it had the same exact numbers, what a punk. It was remanufactured by Bosch. It only lasted 7 months. Let's see how long this one lasts. At least I didn't have to pay for it! This is the second time I've vanished from their computer in less than a year. Has anyone else had this problem with PepBoys?
