Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 50MPH AND THINGS STARTED SHUTTING DOWN LIKE THE RADIO AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SAID THE CAR WAS GOING INTO POWER SAVING MODE. I HAD ABOUT 5 MILES TO MY DESTINATION AND MY CAR STALLED RIGHT BEFORE I GOT THERE BUT I KEPT UP MY SPEED AND WAS ABLE TO COAST IN. I TRIED STARTING IT JUST TO SEE AND GOT NOTHING. TOW TRUCK CAME ABOUT AN HOUR LATER AND I WAS ABLE TO START IT TO BACK IT UP BUT WHEN I TURNED IT OFF, IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. EVEN BEING A WOMAN I KNEW THIS WAS NOT A CASE OF DEAD BATTERY AS IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND SURE ENOUGH, THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD ON A 4 YEAR OLD CHRYSLER WITH APPROXIMATELY ONLY 30,000 MILES! APPARENTLY THERE IS A RECALL ALREADY ON MY SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL HOWEVER "SUPPOSEDLY" THE HEMI'S WEREN'T AFFECTED.
