Consumer Description
I HAVE A 2011 DODGE CHARGER RT. THE ALTERNATOR FAILED WITHOUT WARNING AS I WAS DRIVING. I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE. THERE WAS NO POWER IN THE CAR. THERE WAS A SMALL ELECTRICAL FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE COVERED UNDER RECALL P60/NHTSA 14V-634 FOR 2011 THROUGH 2014 MODEL YEAR DODGE DURANGO, CHRYSLER 300, DODGE CHALLENGER, DODGE CHARGER AND 2012 THROUGH 2014 MODEL YEAR JEEPGRAND CHEROKEE VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 3.6L ENGINE AND A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. THE SAME BEHAVIOR EXISTS IN MY VEHICLE, WHICH HAS A 5.7-LITER ENGINE. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN OVERSIGHT BY THE MANUFACTURER. IF YOU PERFORM A GOOGLE SEARCH YOU WILL FIND THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH THE 'HEMI' MODEL CHARGER FOR THAT YEAR RANGE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS.
