Ive had mine for sometime and it works fine. Funny how people will dog china made stuff. I have a Mezeire water pump on my car. It failed and its american made. I sent it back to the company and they fixed it and sent it back. No big deal just a bit of a nuisance.

Yeah I'm afraid so. Well and truly. 
Not ******* Chinese made products. Some are very good but quality control can be patchy, especially on electrical components. Hopefully you're lucky enough to have a good alternator that'll last the life of the car. That said, the 2010 OEM alternator seems to be the best replacement for a failed 05-09 OEM or aftermarket unit.

I get that chinese made goods can lead to bad experiences but we consume several of their made products every year. Id imagine if you look at the percentage for failures its likely low. Its why I referenced the Meziere Water pump. Known to be American made and rarely fails The guys at brenspeed were pretty surprised. Im not one to choose specifically american made products. Price and reliability are my major concerns.

I think it has to due with mass production as well, not saying that their quality control sucks but when you're getting paid $0.10 to make an alternator (major assumption here), they're not gonna be OCD about everything or another.
