NHTSA Complaint #11045626 — 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER

DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AT NIGHT ALTERNATOR STOPS WORKING. EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL SHUTS OFF - ABLE TO ROLL MOSTLY INTO A TURNING LANE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET BEFORE IT STOPPED. EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL TURNS OFF - NO LIGHTS -OTHER DRIVERS CANNOT SEE THE CAR. LEFT IN A VERY VULNERABLE UNSAFE POSITION - I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL TO PUSH OUT OF ROAD. LEFT IN A VERY UNSAFE POSITION. CALLED TOW TRUCK WHO WAS ABLE TO GET THERE BEFORE ANYTHING BAD HAPPENED. LEARNED OF THE RECALL OVER THE INTERNET - I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A RECALL. IF I HAD KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL, I WOULD HAVE REPAIRED THE CAR - I NEVER WOULD HAVE DRIVER THIS CAR IF I HAD KNOWN. DODGE DOES NOT HAVE A "FIX" IN PLACE SO I MUST REPAIR THE CAR ON MY OWN AND WAIT UNTIL THEY GET IT FIGURED OUT OVER AT DODGE.
