Vehicle died when driving on city street then would not start. Had to have vehicle towed. Was told it was the alternator and the battery is dead. Hyundai won't replace the battery as they said battery was over 3 years old. The battery was fine until the alternator killed the battery. Vehicle is still at dealership so i don't have any paperwork yet
