My 1998 Ford Taurus has 173,000 miles and v6 engine. In November of 2006 I had the alternator replaced because the battery light kept coming on. In April of 2007, it happened again and the car completely died all of a sudden. Had the battery replaced and the alternator replaced again. The battery light started flashing again in August and it seems to run very rough every time this happens. Doesn't matter what the speed or how long I've been driving...there is no consistency with when it happens. I know that alternators shouldn't go bad that often so there must be some other issue with the car and no one else seems to have any clues. Any ideas?
