Electrical problem
2007 Toyota Yaris 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Purchased a Toyota Yaris new in 2007. Alternator has gone out again (this will be the third one including original).

What could be causing this? Is this a "lemon" problem with the Yaris?

Previous alternators have been replaced with manufacturer's parts at Toyota dealership.

Lemon law would apply, three times for the same repair.
