NHTSA Complaint #10911304 — 2013 DODGE DURANGO

MY ALTERNATOR FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, LUCKILY I WAS IN THE VERY RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAD I BEEN IN ANY OTHER LANES IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT! ALL OF MY ELECTRONICS AND POWER STEERING SHUT OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT DODGE WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF MY ALTERNATOR BECAUSE MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND MY VIN# DOES NOT MATCH CERTAIN SPECIFICS WITHIN THIS RECALL, EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS BUILT BETWEEN THOSE DATES RECALL NUMBER : 14V634000 RECALL DATE : 10/08/2014 COMPONENT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR SUMMARY CHRYSLER GROUP LLC (CHRYSLER) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011-2014 CHRYSLER 300, DODGE CHARGER, CHALLENGER, AND DURANGO; AND 2012-2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE VEHICLES MANUFACTURED APRIL 22, 2010, TO JANUARY 2, 2014, AND EQUIPPED WITH A 3.6L ENGINE AND A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR.
