Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, IN MY 2012 DODGE CHARGER RT. THE DASH LIGHTS ALL STARTED TO FLASH AND A MESSAGE CODE "BATTERY SAVE MODE" WAS GIVEN. JUST A FEW MINUTES LATER THE CAR STALLED OUT AND THE FRONT WHEELS VIBRATED FEELING LIKE THE WHEELS LOCKED UP. THE CAR VEERED OFF THE THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR WHICH IT STARTED. ALL THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. I PLACED THE CAR IN DRIVE AND SLOWLY PULLED BACK ONTO THE ROAD. THE CAR DROVE NORMAL THE NEXT 1/2 MILE TO MY HOUSE, EXCEPT FOR THE WARNING LIGHTS AND BATTERY SAVE MODE MESSAGE. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY FOUND THE ALTERNATOR AT FAULT.
