Consumer Description

I WAS BACKING MY CAR OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WHEN IT SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN. THE DODGE COMPANY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR AND IT NEEDS TO REPLACE. AFTER DOING THE REPLACEMENT THEY SAID MY BATTERY WAS ALSO NEEDED TO REPLACED BUT BECAUSE THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THE BATTERY DAMAGE WAS EITHER DONE BY USAGE OR BY THE ALTERNATOR THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE BATTERY. THE MECHANIC AT DODGE DEALER SAID " THROUGH HIS EXPERIENCE THAT WHEN A ALTERNATOR CAN DAMAGE A BATTERY , THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE BATTERY. THROUGH HIS 14 YEARS EXPERIENCE DODGE WILL NOT REPLACE THE BATTERY. "
