Consumer Description

MY 2011 DODGE CHARGER HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR VARIOUS RECALLS. THE FIRST RECALL WAS FOR A DEFECTIVE WIRING HARNESS THAT CAUSED FUSED TO TRIP. THE REPAIR CORRECTED THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT TIME BUT THE FUSES CONTINUE TO TRIP. THE LATEST RECALL IS FOR AN ALTERNATOR PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING PROPERLY UNTIL THE ALTERNATOR LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE LOST STEERING AND THEN ALL POWER AFTER THE ALTERNATOR LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. WHO IS REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR. THEY CLAIM THE BATTERY IS "SHORTED" AND MUST BE REPLACED. THEY CLAIM THAT BATTERY IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.
