Long story short: I was driving some fairly wet country roads today when I got a warning message “charging system service now.”
Fast forward an hour, and my battery dies and the truck shuts down completely on the highway. I wait 20 min and am able to start it and limp it to the rest stop 1/2 up the road where I currently sit.
My concern is that the alternator is shot due to the puddles and water crossings encountered today and that the dealership will void my warranty on claims of off-roading. Has anyone had this problem before?
the water crossings were no deeper than the bottom of the bumper and it is ridiculous that a truck would be vulnerable to these problems, imo. Very disappointed. Never would have happened in my old ranger.
