NHTSA Complaint #10917263 — 2012 DODGE DURANGO

I SMELLED BURNING WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. THE CAR JUST DIED. I GOT OUT RAISED HOOD. SMELLED BURNING AT ALTERNATOR. CAR IS COMPLETELY DEAD. CALLED TOW TRUCK.. NEXT DAY. CAR TOWED TO ALL TECH AUTO. DIAGNOSIS- 180AMP ALTERNATOR BAD AND CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO TIPM AND PCM. PAID 760.00 FOR REPLACED ALTERNATOR. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP - TIPM AND PCM SHORTED OUT, 2066.00 TO REPAIR. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP WAITING FOR ME TO EARN THE MONEY TO REPAIR. IM PRAYING THAT I WILL HAVE AN ADDITIONAL 2066.00 IN TWO WEEKS SO I CAN GET REPAIRS COMPLETED. FCA RECALLED 160AMP AND 220AMP. HOW DO THEY SKIP OVER THE 180AMP IN THE DURANGO CREW? YOU WON'T HAVE AS MANY COMPLAINTS BECAUSE THERE WEREN'T AS MANY MANUFACTURED AS THE OTHER MODELS - UNFAIR! SEND SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE BEFORE REPAIRS ARE MADE. *TR
