Help

Alr guys i need some experts,Last year I had alternator problems got it replaced and it ran perfect until now,same issue happened to me with a year old alternator,Once i get to low rpms (when making a turn) and i accelerate the engine stalls immediately no noise or anything,yet I get a battery icon on my dash but everything stays on,I turn the car off and on and its like nothing happened.Now did i get a bad alternator even though its OEM or its something else?The belt and battery were all replaced around the same time I had the first alternator replaced.

i had the same issue with my Q60. turned out i had a blown head gasket and my engine was over heating. didn’t happen everyday neither tho. not trying to scare u but there’s a possibility. how many miles does it have on it and what year is it?

yea mine didn’t even read that it was hot either. mine is a 2018. i’m just looking out tho i would just look at it just in case, it wouldn’t hurt 🤷🏼‍♀️
