Alternator OEM Honda or OEM Volkswagen

I had a Honda Odyssey do this for years. Finally took to Battery Plus. They checked my battery at the time (which was not having issues…yet) which they said was good. On a lark i asked if their device could tell if the alternator was okay. He said yes, did something on the meter, and then showed me on the screen the alternator showed “errors”. I had the alternator replaced and the dead batteries stopped happening.

Drove it for a day and the alternator crapped out. Installed a new one asap.

The alternator was dead (as expected), and was replaced with a used one that I sourced locally from junkyard.

In my experience, it’s most likely the alternator, I’ve replaced so many I’ve lost count.

My local mechanic put a new alternator in my older Accord late last year. It was around $550, including a new serpentine belt.

I have a 19 Accord. The alternator is buried under the intake manifold. It has to come off. That means draining the cooling system.

My light was due to alternator-08 odyssey- alternator also was starting to wine pretty bad as well. Local mechanic fixed mine for just over $500 I also had the oil leak happening prior to alternator going bad.

I was tired leaving work and my alternator died.

My car 2012 honda pilot died while I was driving down the highway yesterday. The stereo cut power on and off, then I lost power to the vehicle and I pulled off the road. I got the vehicle towed to a garage assuming the alternator crapped out (120k miles on my SUV).

even a simple job like changing the alternator is difficult due to where they place it. There's not a ton of space to work on the car in the engine bay.
