JUST PURCHASED THE CAR AND LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER BUYING, THE CAR SITS DEAD. NOTICED THERE WAS NO COOLANT IN THE OVERFLOW SO I ADDED COOLANT AND ONCE I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE IT HAD THE BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I DROVE IT ABOUT 2 MILES AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BEFORE MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY DIED AND HAS NOT MOVED SINCE! I JUMPED IT BUT IT STALLED OUT BEFORE I COULD EVEN GET THE HOOD CLOSED AND DRIVE ANYWHERE. I REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT THE ISSUE HERE IS THE ALTERNATOR! WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED YET??
