Consumer Description

YESTERDAY WHEN DRIVING MY JEEP TO THE GAS STATION ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS STARTED TURNING ON AND THE JEEPS BATTERY LIGHT TURNED ON. KNOWING THAT IT COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ALTERNATOR I HEADED HOME IMMEDIATELY. A BLOCK FROM MY HOUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION THE BATTERY FINALLY DIED THANKFULLY SOMEONE WAS ABLE TO PUSH ME OUT OF THE INTERSECTION BECAUSE IT WAS DARK OUT AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS. I HAD THE CAR CHECKED AND IT IS THE ALTERNATOR. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR A PENTASTAR 3.6 L V6 ALTERNATORS BUT I'M BEING TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. BY SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDING MY VEHICLE FROM THE RECALL THEY HAVE RISKED MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THOSE AROUND ME.
