My alternator died two Saturdays ago and I had to have my VX towed to the nearest dealer. Took them 4 days to get the part and swap it out. Meanwhile, I had to drive a crappy rental.

The thing is that I had a feeling the alternator was going out a few weeks prior, but figured that I'm almost due for my 30K checkup and was gonna have the mechanic look at it at the same. Alternator didn't make it to the 30K checkup.

It was swapped out and replaced under warranty.
