Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROAD, THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND STEERING CONTROL. IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THE CAR TO A SAFE LOCATION. IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE ALTERNATOR. I SAW ON THIS WEBSITE THE OLDER 2012 CARS CHALLENGERS WERE RECALLED WITH THE SAME ENGINE AND ALTERNATOR. I WAS VERY LUCKY NOT TO HAVE CRASHED MY CAR. *TR
