NHTSA Complaint #11223050 — 2011 DODGE DURANGO

THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH. BEFORE I WAS AT A PLACE TO GET OFF OF THE HIGHWAY (TWO MILES) THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. SO THERE I SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK. THE 220 AMP ALTERNATOR HAD THE FAULTY DIODE LIKE THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THE DIODE FAILED AND CAUSED A DEAD SHORT. THE ALTERNATOR SHORT RUINED THE BATTERY AND THE PCM. THIS IS THE T36 RECALL TO A 'T' BUT DODGE SAYS MY VIN NUMBER SHOWS IT'S NOT RECALLED. THE PARTS AND LABOR WERE 1411.88. THAT'S NOT INCLUDING THE TOW SERVICE BILL OR THE RENTAL CAR THAT I HAD TO USE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT CHRYSLER IS BEING ALLOWED TO RIP PEOPLE OFF KNOWING FULL WELL ITS THEIR WORTHLESS PARTS AT THE ROOT OF IT ALL. NO GOVERNMENT AGENCY SHOULD SIT BY AND BE A SPECTATOR AS CHRYSLER ROBS THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AT OVER 1000 EACH. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR MISTAKE AND QUIT STICKING IT TO THE PEOPLE WHO WERE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO BUY THIS GARBAGE.
