NHTSA Complaint #10641349 — 2011 DODGE CHARGER

I WAS PULLING INTO THE RESIDENTIAL AREA THAT I LIVE IN AT APPROXIMATELY 17 MPH AND MY STEREO SHUT OFF, AND I NOTICED ON THE DASHBOARD A WARNING MESSAGE THAT READ "POWER SAVING MODE" THEN THE ABS LIGHT AND THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE LIGHTNING BOLT CAME ON, THEN THE AIR SHUT OFF AND IT FELT LIKE THE HEATER WAS TURNED ON, THE DASHBOARD SHOW THE TEMPERATURE BEING 105 AND THERE WAS A WEIRD SMELL THAT CAME THROUGH THE AC VENTS. I WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE VEHICLE INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND UPON OPENING THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE YOU COULD FEEL THE HEAT IMMEDIATELY AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO JUMP START THE CAR THE CAR WOULD TURN ON BUT THEN WHEN THE JUMPER CABLES WHERE REMOVED THE VEHICLE'S WIPERS BEGAN TO WIPE AND THE SAME ISSUES AS BEFORE BEGAN OCCURRING. I CALLED ONE OF MY FRIENDS THAT IS A DODGE TECHNICIAN AND HE SAID THAT BASED ON THE INFORMATION I TOLD HIM HE WAS 95% SURE THAT IT WAS A BAD ALTERNATOR. THIS IS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER WITH 66,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY TO HELP THOSE THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND TO AVOID ANY MORE OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR
