NHTSA Complaint #10991616 — 2012 DODGE DURANGO

WHILE DRIVING, THE ALTERNATOR FAILED CAUSING A NEAR CRASH WITH MYSELF, MY DAUGHTER, AND TWO GRANDDAUGHTERS IN THE VEHICLE. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT HAVE NEVER HEARD OF AN FAILED ALTERNATOR ACTUALLY SHUTTING DOWN A CAR WHILE DRIVING! WITH A LITTLE RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THERE IS, IN FACT, A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE, ON THIS YEAR VEHICLE, AND YET SOMEHOW MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL?? IT'S A $1700 REPAIR. . BESIDES THE EXPENSE, IT'S A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. MY ALTERNATOR FAILED, EXACTLY AS WARNED IN THE RECALL -- THE REPAIR SHOULD NOT BE AT MY EXPENSE. THIS IS NOT OK!
