Consumer Description

I AM THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER OF A DODGE DURANGO 2013: ON DEC 25TH I WAS LEFT STRANDED WITH MY CAR, WINDOWS OPEN AND UNABLE TO MOVE IT ANYWHERE. IT LITERALLY DIED AND HAD TO LEAVE IT ALONG THE ROADSIDE SINCE I WAS WITH MY 4 SMALL CHILDREN. I WAS DRIVING, AND THE CAR STARTED WITH A WEIRD NOISE, THEN SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT, THE ALL THE LIGTHS ON THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO FLASH, THE TEMPERATURE WAS ALWAYS INFORMED AS NORMAL, THEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPPERS STARTED TO WORK ON ITS OWN AND THEN THE CAR LITERALLY DIED. THERE WAS NO POSSIBILITY OF IGNITION NOR NOTHING. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AWAY BY A SPECIAL TRUCK SINCE IT HAD TO PICK UP THE CAR AND PLACE IT ON THE TRUCK, SINCE THERE WAS NO POSSIBILITY TO HAVE IGNITION. THE MOST STRANGE THING IS THAT ON DECEMBER 12, THE CAR WAS OUT OF THE DOGE WORKSHOP FOR THE 40,000 KM REVISION WITH NO PROBLEM. SO FAR I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE CENTRAL COMPUTER OF THE CAR DIED, THE BATTERY WAS BURNED AND THE ALTERNATOR DIED............ ALL THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED BY THE GARAGE WHERE MY CAR IS AT. IS THIS A PROBLEM THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR OR IS IT A PROBLEM THAT THE COMPANY WILL PAY FOR EVERYTHING? PLEASE ADVICE ME ON HOW TO PROCEED
