Consumer Description

FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS I'VE NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD MAKE A WEIRD WHINING NOISE WHEN I WOULD CRANK IT IN THE MORNING. SO TODAY WHILE CRANKING MY VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT IT WAS HESITANT TO START THEN I RECEIVED A MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD STATING "BATTERY SAVER MODE". I THEN NOTICED THE WHINING NOISE GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER AND THEN I STARTED TO SMELL A BURNING SMELL THAT WAS COMING THROUGH THE VENTS. I NOTICED THAT CHRYSLER ISSUED AN ALTERNATOR RECALL FOR 3.6L VEHICLES ONLY AND I FEEL THAT ONE SHOULD BE ISSUED TO COVER THOSE WHO HAVE THE 5.7L VEHICLES. I'VE NOTICED THAT SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND CHRYSLER SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO FIX IT.
