I've been daily driving, road-tripping, and wheeling my 100 from 190k miles to its current 283k. Never once has it left me stranded. In that time I've replaced the alternator
Please, genuine alternators are only like $30 more and you won't suffer these issues. And also they last.
I went and got a Mazda one off of Moss bc I was sick of AutoZone remanned ones blowing up. It's plenty nice for stock electrical load
I’d recommend going by a local Toyota dealer parts department and getting an OEM replacement. It’s more pricey than aftermarket but… it’ll last as long as the original Toyota alternator did.
Owned a 4th gen 4runner for over 10 years. Boring to drive and look at, but it took a lot of abuse and never gave me any problems. It only had to be towed once due to the alternator going out on me 50 miles from home.
Got some faulty alternators from autozone that were overcharging or undercharging. I just bought an oem reman from mazdaswag, (or any mazda dealership store online). Works fine now.
The same thing happened to me. 2012 Toyota Camry LE. The car never asked for anything other than brakes and tires. At 120000 my alternator went out on the beginning of a vacation trip.
Radiator let go about 12 months ago, and suspension is well overdue for new bushings. Also recently had to replace an alternator.
I’m having this same issue without the positive results. Brand new alternator battery is good. It does not drive! Turns itself off and says charging system malfunction.
I'm surprised Mazda is rated so poorly, I had a Mazda MPV for 8 years and honestly the only problem I had was the driver's side window gear was worn out, and the alternator.
