GMC Repair: WARRANTY, kia rio, rio 2007

Question
Hi..not sure who to ask on this one...but..my KIA RIO 2007 warranty for an alternative was up to 60,000 miles and the my car has 61,000....when the alternator just went out.
..and the DEALER will NOT fix it, since it is 1000 miles over the limit.
Is there any way around this?
Also...AUTO ZONE said it was not the battery since that was bought new last year and they tested it out..
but
it was the alternatator that makes the car not always start when it should.
.....How right is this assessment.....Can it be something OTHER than the alternator that would make the care not start all the time.

Answer
when you say it will not start, are you stating that it will not crank or it cranks and does not start?  if it will not crank then there is a very good chance the the alternator is not charging the battery when you are driving.  However this would need to be confirmed.
