Imagine the hassle if your car suddenly Kong on the way home.Sharing my personal experience. About 2 years back, I was driving the E32 after class, drove all the way from Sunway to Sri Petaling, then halfway at the traffic lights, I felt the car make some weird twitching at idle. But I thought nothing of it, somemore no warning lights which I noticed. That time almost night, so I turned out my headlamps and continued driving, until reach another set of lights about 1KM away...Then, suddenly, engine mati. Could restart immediately, but I felt that the cranking was weak. So I drove to the nearest bus stop and called my dad, who called AAM to help out. At first, thought it was a weak battery, and we even swapped it, but when I was making my way home, the car died again near the OKR police station. So after 3-4 times dying, we decided to drive without the lights on. I tailed my dad, whilst the AA van tailed me from behind all the way home. Nervy experience, but eventually we made it back. *phew* Later that very night, called the mechanic to have a look and he diagnosed it as faulty alternator... Thank goodness the problem hasn't resurfaced ever since.</blockquote>
