What owners wrote
I went to start my car and I heard a nose so then I turn the car off and so as I put it in gear to drive it went on it own the brakes was not work
Alternator failure due to leak on valve cover. A known design flaw on the seal for the valve cover allows oil to leak on to alternator causing failure and rendering the engine inoperable. This could easily cause a crash and death due to engine stall.
