This car has had a check charging System Error message since 70,000 miles. I have replaced the alternator once, and I am now on my second battery this year. From time to time the voltage indicator drops to zero and the car shuts off. I had a leak on my passenger side from underneath the glove box. I also had the Smart Junction Box replaced, that did not fix the problem either. When the voltage meter first started dropping the zero intermittently the car didn't shut off.
After about 120,000 the car would shut off when this occurred, first I changed the batteries. Then I ran an extra ground from the battery to the alternator. After doing all that, the car only became worse. Before doing any of this i had replaced the alternator. The only other unconfirmed fix that i have heard of is have the passenger side kick plate harness replaced, but I am not doing that. I had a Ford dealer put in the SJB, they told me the it didn't fix the problem but for $150.00 dollars more they could look for the problem.
I don't thinkIi will ever buy another American automobile.
