NHTSA Complaint #10885696 — 2011 DODGE DURANGO

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY KIDS GETTING OUR DAY STARTED. I TURN ON WITH REMOTE START WAS MAKING LOUD SCREECHING SOUND. LOADED UP KIDS AND STARTED TO TAKE OFF. WE COULD ALL SMELL A BAD BURNING SMELL. I CHECK ALL TEMPS ON CAR AND NOTHING READ HIGH TEMPERATURE. I DROVE ON MY WAY TO DAYCARE WHEN MY CAR STALLED AND SHUT DOWN. AND IT HAD PREVIOUSLY DID THIS B4 LIKE 4 MONTHS OR SO AND A RECALL OF FUEL PUMP WAS DONE AND HAD BEEN RUNNING FINE TILL THIS DAY. I TRIED STARTING IT A FEW TIMES NOTHING. FINALLY TURN ON AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE IT TO DROP OF MY 3 KIDS AT CAMP WHEN IT KEPT FEELING LIKE IT WANTED TO TURN OF. STILL SMELLING BURNING. FINALLY I'M HEADED TO WORK AND IT STALLED IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. THANK GOD I DIDN'T HAVE MY KIDS WITH ME AND NO ACCIDENTS HAPPENED. I HAD CAR TOWED TO LOCAL MECHANIC BECAUSE DEALERSHIP IS AND HOUR AWAY. HE SAID ALTERNATOR GAVE OUT. PUT NEW ALTERNATOR IN STILL NOTHING. 600 DOLLARS DOWN DRAIN. NOW I HAVE TO PAY TOWING TO GET TO DEALERSHIP WHICH WILL MEAN JUST MORE MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN WHICH I DON'T HAVE THE EXTRA MONEY AND USE THIS CAR FOR WK SO HOPEFULLY I DON'T LOSE MY JOB. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW I HAVE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS AS ANOTHER 2011 DURANGO UNDER RECALL BUT MINE AIN'T ONE OF THEM. DO YOU HAVE TO WAIT TILL SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED TO HAVE A RECALL. IF NONE OF THIS IS RESOLVED PROPERLY I WILL BE HIRING A LAWYER. I HAVE ONLY HAD VEHICLE FOR 2YRS.
