Started last Friday, was fine over the weekend, but last night, went crazy again.
Now we are afraid to take this thing on any sizable trip, if the battery goes dead, we would be stranded, very well cared for and only 40K miles on it.
Here is the circuit diagram:

The thing is, without having access to the source code of that ECU controlling the alternator, I don't know what to do with this problem. Next to impossible to go conventional without a real ignition switch!
So what should we do with this well cared for vehicle, dump it? There are zero trouble codes, have a darn good scanner, not even any in history. Something is indubitably switching off that alternator, and without this, that battery would go dead, and if on the freeway, would not be any different than those failed ignition switches and could lead to a severe accident. Not so much with me, but my precious wife drives this thing.
This is your problem, are you going to fix it? Do I go to court, or just dump this darn thing. Very frustrated right now, no excuse for this.
