My family owns a 1982 Plymouth Reliant.  It has less than 20,000 miles on it,
and it is on its third alternator, and its second voltage regulator.  All the
Chrysler products we have had have had electrical problems.  What's worse  is
that I still don't think that the electrical system on our Reliant is  right,
the lights seem to flicker a lot.....
