NHTSA Complaint #10648594 — 2011 DODGE CHARGER

WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY 61 ON MAY 13,2014 I NOTICED MY WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAD NO WHERE TO PULL OVER SO APPROX., 10 MILES LATER THE BATTERY SAFE MODE CAME ON AND THEN I STARTED SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED TO HAVE SOMEONE TAKE MY CAR BACK TO TOWN. I THEN NEEDED TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR BEFORE THE CAR WOULD RUN AGAIN. THEN ON 7/8/2014 THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM PROCEEDED TO HAPPEN AGAIN AD THIS TIME I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MEINEKE WHERE THEY ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY AGAIN AT ANOTHER COST OF $1,148.66 ON TOP OF THE FIRST $803.16 THAT I HAD PUT INTO THE CAR A MONTH EARLIER. THIS CAR GOT SO HOT AND YOU COULD TELL THERE WAS OBVIOUSLY AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BUT ALL ANYONE WOULD SAY IS THAT ITS STARTING AT THE ALTERNATOR. *TR
