Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. ALTERNATOR WAS DETERMINED TO BE DEAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT THE DODGE CHARGER RECALL P60 COVERED BUT THIS RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE THE LARGER ENGINES???? MAKES NO SENSE!!!! IT WAS UNSAFE FOR THOSE DRIVERS AND I SHOULD NOT BE TREATED ANY DIFFERENT. I HAD TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT POWER BY COASTING INTO THE MIDDLE TURNING LANE SINCE THE CAR IS COMPLETELY ELECTRIC AND I HAD NO POWER WHILE CARS WERE DRIVING AROUND ME AT 60 MPH. IT COST ME OVER 600 TO HAVE A NEW ALTERNATOR INSTALLED.
