My voltage regulator was bad. Dealer replaced it ($499.17) and so far so good.
I had more weird shit caused by this. I was driving it and all of a sudden all my electrical systems in the car started freaking out. My air conditioner died, the radio died, the windows wouldn't roll down....and I got this message: "total brake failure! Service urgent"
And then the car locked it brakes up and the traction control went into full ape-shit mode....and then it blew a transmission cooler line and spat ALL of the ATF out onto the ground!
This friggin' sucked! I had to have it towed ($200) to the dealer and they fixed the broken/blown off line and all that, but they said it was all due to the faulty voltage regulator.

I tell ya....this car has cost me nearly $3500 in the last 24 months in repairs....and it is not even remotely amusing. I expect FAR more from a car that was just shy of $50K new!
