Alternator issue
So I was driving down to Summit to pick something up in the S and I noticed when I was about a mile away all of my electronics dimmed out for a few minutes and then completely turned off. (dash, radar detector, gauges, radio, headlights, etc.) Once leaving summit I needed a jump to get it started and 3 miles down the highway the car shut off and lost all power and I waited 2 hours for a flatbed. Just curious if alternators are known to go bad on this car or if I am overlooking something else. I have a 6 month old Optima yellowtop battery.

I have seen a couple of guys have there Alt go out. I would have the Battery checked first sometimes the plates come loose and cause all kinds of problems.
I think Napa had the best price on the Alt's

Batt is fine, the car would have still run without the battery using current from the alternator.
