Consumer Description

A MESSAGE ICON APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD SAYING "POWER SAVER MODE" I DIDN'T DO WHAT IT WAS SO I WAS GOING TO LOOK IT UP AFTER I GOT OF WORK.I PARKED MY CAR AND WENT TO WORK. WHEN I CAME OUT TO GO ON MY LUNCH BREAK MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW ALTERNATOR AND I ASKS IF I WAS COVERED AND THEY SAID NO EVEN THOUGH I HAVE ONLY 42,200 MILES.I LOOKED UP TO SEE AND SAW SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE ALTERNATOR ARE TO SMALL FOR DODGE CHARGERS AND CAUSES THEM TO BURN OUT FAIRLY QUICKLY AND EVEN SOME HAVE CAUSED ALTERNATOR TO CATCH FIRE. *TR
