NHTSA Complaint #10893001 — 2013 DODGE CHARGER

AS I PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT OF MY JOB, I GOT A MESSAGE ON MY DASHBOARD SAYING "BATTERY SAVER MODE" AND THE SYMBOLS OF ABS AND THE ELECTRICAL STABILITY CONTROL ICONS LIT UP. I THEN HEARD A STRANGE NOISE AS IF THE CAR WAS IN THE WRONG GEAR. I TRIED TO MAKE A CALL WITH MY BLUETOOTH HANDS FREE AND THEN IT STOPPED WORKING. AFTER DRIVING A MILE, I PULLED OVER TO A GAS STATION AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. I EXPLAINED THE SYMBOLS THAT WERE ON AND THE NOISES. I WAS ASSURED THE WARNINGS LIGHTS WERE JUST A CAUTION AND I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY CAR BREAKING DOWN IF I WANTED TO BRING MY CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPT. AFTER ENDING MY CALL, MY AC WENT OUT AND THEN MY CAR SHUT OFF. I HAD NO POWER AND HAD TO CALL A TOWING COMPANY TO HAUL MY CAR TO THE DEALER. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO DROP IT OFF AS THEY WERE CLOSING FOR THE DAY BUT I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL DESCRIBING THE SAME THING THAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME. AFTER RESEARCHING RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE, I NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALLED 160 AMP ALTERNATOR (P60 RECALL). THIS ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING WITH MORE THAN JUST WHAT CHRYSLER IS REPORTING. MY VEHICLE IS AN 180 AMP ALTERNATOR AND MEETS THE SAME RISKS LISTED FOR A RECALL.
