Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND WAS WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT THE INTERSECTION. MY BATTERY APPEARED TO BE LOSING POWER AND I LOST MY POWER STEERING. I BELIEVE THE ALTERNATOR WENT BAD WHICH LED TO THE BATTERY DYING WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING ME TO LOSE POWER. THIS WAS DANGEROUS AS I COULD HAVE LOST POWER AND MAY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC TO GET THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED. I SEE DODGE HAS SOME RECALLS ON ALTERNATORS BUT NOT SURE IF IT APPLIES TO MY VEHICLE
