NHTSA Complaint #10648471 — 2011 DODGE CHARGER

DRIVING AT NIGHT, ALL OF SUDDEN, SMELT A BURNING SMELL COMING THROUGH THE A/C. NEXT MORNING, WHEN I STARTED MY CAR, THE BATTERY SAVER LIGHT CAME ON. DROVE TO WORK AND PARKED. WHEN I CAME BACK ON LUNCH BREAK, THE POWER SAVER LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, SEAT BELT LIGHT, AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON DASH BOARD, AND CAR SHUT DOWN. HAD TO GET TOWED TO DODGE DEALERSHIP. BAD ALTERNATOR. COST TO REPLACE $804.00. DODGE CONSUMER ASSISTANCE STATED THAT DODGE WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF THE ALTERNATOR OF MY 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THIS IS APPARENTLY A MANUFACTURER DEFAULT. NEVER BUYING ANOTHER DODGE AGAIN. THIS IS MY 6TH TIME HAVING THIS CAR IN THE SHOP, AFTER OWNING IT FOR 2.7 YEARS. WHEN THE HEAD LIGHT WENT OUT, DODGE STATED THEY WOULDN'T REPLACE IT, SO HAD TO PAY OVER $500.00 OUT OF POCKET FOR REPLACEMENT. THEN GOT A RECALL, AND DODGE ONLY REIMBURSED HALF OF MY OUT OF POCKET. *TR
