NHTSA Complaint #10826137 — 2012 CHRYSLER 300

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE TRAVELING 70 MILES PER/HOUR MY 2012 CHRYSLER 300 DASH WARNING LIGHT LIT UP FOLLOWED BY DASH GOING WHITE. WE THEN LOST ALL POWER IN VEHICLE. NO POWER STEERING NO LIGHTS INSIDE VEHICLE OR OUTSIDE. WE WERE TRAVELING AT NIGHT SO PULLED OFF WITH SOME GREAT EFFORT. I AM GLAD I WAS DRIVING AND NOT MY WIFE. YOU COULD SMELL THE ELECTRICAL FIRE IN VEHICLE. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. PAID ALMOST 700 DOLLARS FOR NEW ALTERNATOR WHICH WAS THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A RECALL (P60) WHICH LIST MY VEHICLE BUT MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP AS PART OF THE RECALL. MY BROTHER HAS A DODGE AND HAD SAME THING HAPPEN TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY. HIS VEHICLE WAS LISTED AS PART OF N60 RECALL AND WAS REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE.
