Re: My car is mad at me! Random stalling, rough idle

They claim to have diagnosed the issue. They say that the voltage is dropping and causing the ECU to shut down or run incorrectly.

Just replaced the alternator a couple of months ago with a new reman one. Evidently the voltage regulator is bad in the new one. The alternator is being replaced under its own warranty. Or could it still be something else related to the alternator wiring to rest of car? I see that there is a wiring mod post.

They have been fair so far and have not asked for more money as of yet. They were also kind enough to give me a loaner car this time.
