Electrical system alternator; been replace about three and car wouldn't start.tt
The alternator on my 1988 bonneville sse has failed five times since new, the last time after only less than 18k miles and less than 2 years, each time stranding me.it is my understanding that all bonnevilles from 1987 through mid-1992 model year have very high failure rates on altnernators, perhaps because the alternators were too small for the electrical load on the bonneville.this represents a serious safety hazard for the owners of these bonnevilles, including me, because when the alternator fails, it strands the owner.a recall is clearly indicated, since there are millions of these cars still on the road.
Prior alternator lasted lest than 15k miles. I get stranded every time the alternator fails (now for the fifth time).this is dangerous and could lead to my injury or even death, depending on where i am the next time the alternator fails, including on the highway in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night.
