| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This alternator growling/noise and tension pulley assembly began making noises at about 30,000. then at about 40,000 it really began making growling noises especially a lower speeds. then while we were on a trip to michigan and wisconsin visiting my relatives and children, it became apparent i had better get this fixed before getting back on the road to our home in bella vista,ar. some 750 miles. while in milwaukee i was advised to to see felsing service inc. 9128 w. burleigh st., milwaukee, wi. since gm dealerships could not guarantee me to have car ready as i had to be back in bella vista on thursday. mr. flesing said he could repair this. i wanted a new alternator, but none could be found in milwaukee. so i consented to a delco remfg. unit and a new pulley assembly.this was completed in a few hours. the bill was $388.10. i feel this alternator should last and be adequately functional for more than 40,000. but the very fact that no new altarenator for my vehicle could be found in milwaukee on that monday tells me, as i also have heard, gm is having problems with alternators etc. otherwise the car is a fine runnign car with good gas mileage etc.*ak |
