Within the time span of about 6 or 7 months, I've had to replace the alternator. This could possibly be because of the stereo system I have in my car, but I thought it worth mentioning, since the first alternator I had to replace ended up dying while I was driving across the country--It is NOT fun to be stranded in the middle of Nebraska. Everything under the hood of this car seems to be extremely difficult to get to, with everything being so jam-packed together. Very frustrating if you're playing mechanic.
