This is why I sold my Honda civic. After the 4th time of my lifetime alternator warranty replacement from AutoZone and having to unbolt the transmission mounts and jack the engine up to replace the alternator I said screw it. On a 500 dollar car I wasn't going to go to honda to buy an oem alternator for $300.
