Alternator OEM FORD or OEM Toyota
2021 Got the extended warranty, one year after the standard warranty went, so did my alternator. Extended warranty covered it.
All I've done/had done for maintenance is a few oil changes, replaced the alternator and serpentine belt, had rear brake pads and rotors replaced, replaced the battery, new tires, and new headlight bulbs. Nothing too complicated or expensive
2004 Camry, had it since my grandfather, did not break down a single time and still on oem stuffs except an alternators and some brake. The most reliable daily I ever had.
I have a 96 that I purchased with 40,000 miles and am just shy of 300,000. Most reliable car I've ever owned. Biggest "issue" I've had was replacing the alternator besides normal maintenance.
My 09 Se Camry V6 currently has 452k km on it. The most reliable thing I have ever owned. The only issues I have had was with it was an alternator at 445k.
I needed a new weather strip (DIYed with a $30 part off Amazon) and a new alternator ($400, could have DIYed but didn’t have time to wait for a part to ship).
I just went through a headache replacing my 3rd alternator in 2 years. I took it to the shop and they put an oem alternator in it and told me not to buy the parts store alternators. It's fine if you don't mind pulling them out to replace every year or so.
Alternator has been replaced 2 times within the year battery is also new and the odds of 2 brand new faulty alternators is pretty slim.
My neighbor had a Ford mustang and he had to jump start it about once a week. I checked the alternator and it had power when the car was off. Bad diode.
I have a shitty looking Ford Focus that I maintain myself...The alternator failed and I couldn't be bothered doing the work myself so I took it to the local dealer.
