NHTSA Complaint #10542281 — 2011 DODGE DURANGO

MY SUV STALLED ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I KEPT DRIVING IT FOR 2 DAYS. THE STALLING CONTINUED DAILY AND IT TOOK A FEW ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD START. ONE NIGHT WHEN I GOT HOME AND PARKED, IT SOUNDED LIKE I HAD A FLAT TIRE. HOWEVER, THE SOUND OF AIR BEING RELEASED WASN'T ANY OF MY TIRES. THE SOUND WAS COMING FROM UNDER NEATH THE CAR LIKE WHERE THE FUEL PUMP IS LOCATED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE BATTERY. I PURCHASED A NEW BATTEREY AND TESTED IT OUT OVER THE WEEKEND. I CONTINUED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AND MY CAR STARTED MAKING A HUMING SOUND WHEN ON AND AS I WOULD DRIVE IT. THE DAY THAT I WAS DRIVING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP A BUNCH OF SMOKE WAS COMING IN FROM THE AC VENTS WITH SMALL PARTICALS. I HAD TO TURN OFF MY AC. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR A LITTLE OVER A WEEK NOW AND SO FAR THEY FOUND THAT THE ALTERNATOR ISN'T WORKING.
