NHTSA Complaint #10905158 — 2012 DODGE CHALLENGER

MY 2012 CHALLENGER RT V8 ALTERNATOR WENT OUT AT ABOUT 51,000 MILES. IT COST $600 TO REPLACE, BUT 7 WEEKS LATER I AM GETTING A LOW VOLTAGE ALERT AGAIN. I HAD IT TESTED AND THE ALTERNATOR FAILED. I'M AFRAID THIS CAR IS GOING TO DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE V6 WAS RECALLED FOR ALTERNATOR PROBLEMS. I HAVE SEEN WHERE SEVERAL OWNERS OF V8'S HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME THING I HAVE (LIGHTS DIMMING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAUSING RADIO LIGHTS TO DIM, WHINING SOUND UNDER HOOD, RANDOM LOW VOLTAGE ALERTS ON RADAR DETECTORS, THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR STOPS RUNNING, EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN); NO RECALL HAS BEEN PUBLISHED FOR THE V8 BUT I FEEL WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS.
