Consumer Description

CAR WAS MAKING A WHINING NOISE (ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS) SO I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE PLACE TO GET DIAGNOSED AND PAID FOR IT. THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY 160 AMP ALTERNATOR WAS BAD. I DROVE THE CAR HOME BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR IT. I BARELY MADE IT HOME BEFORE I SMELLED A BURNING PLASTIC LIKE SMELL AND THE CAR BEGAN TO MAKE A DIFFERENT KIND OF NOISE. I HAVE NOT DROVE IT SENSE BECAUSE IT SEEMS UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY AND I AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR THE REPAIRS AT THIS TIME. *TR
