Default Dam Mustang Died!!!

Well driving home today my cars battery indicator was very low then my car completely died. Luckily I got it into a parking spot and out of traffic before it died. So I think the alternator is bad since my battery wasn't charging at all while I was driving. Possibly a bad battery also. Anyone else have it where u drive and all the warning lights start popping up?

On my 3rd alternator right now. Luckily replacements get a 1yr warranty.

Well just got my car back today. They had to replace the battery and alternator. Good thing its under warranty. They thought it was gonna take a while to fix so they put me in a rental car that I had for a whole 5 mins. lol. Worked out for me because I would rather have my car than a ****ty Mazda 6.
