So I have a 2006 gt with 32890 miles and I just replaced my alt for the second time and my battery for the second time I'm two years. Does ford have a solution for this problem. I can't afford to keep dropping 300+ dollars every other year on these same parts. I think if it happens again I might have to get rid of the old girl.

 

I've got 97k miles on my 05 and I'm still on the OEM alternator , so it maybe something specific to your car ?

 

Ive had my v6 for about 1.5 years. The alt and battery died 3 months after i got it. Then the second battery died about 3 months ago.....Where are you from? Texas heat is very hard on batteries

 

I'm in Southern California. My car has only left the state five or six times to drive to Vegas. It's my daily driver but I only commute about 12 to and from work everyday. And now my warantee is up an I have these issues. It just pisses me off that this happened again.

 

I've heard of this problem but haven't had the problem myself, I've got the original battery & alt. on my 07 with 58k miles.

It's a semi-common issue, and there is no known fix for it. I'm on my second battery and probably my 4 alternator. My battery is fine, but I have to change the alternator about every 2 years. So whenever you buy parts for it, get whatever has the longest warranty.
