I hate my car! Today the alternator went out for the 6th time. We just replaced it 3-4 weeks ago, along with a new battery.
GM products stink and I will never buy another one again. Which is pretty bad since we get the GM employee discount.
You hate your car? Just get rid of the piece of junk!!!
Alternators are a common problem in 90s GM cars.
I replaced the alternator in my Beretta 3x in less than a year. But, I haven't replaced it since (knock wood).
The secret is to not go to the dealer. And, whether you're fixing it yourself or having a mechanic do it, buy the BETTER alternator from the parts store.
Pay the extra $30 or so for the better alternator with more amps and your problems will likely disappear.
A lot of times, a problematic altenator on a 90s GM car is actually the fault of the voltage regulator.
Check that before you check the altenator.
