2011 DODGE CHARGER Electrical System Problems

I HAVE A 2011 DODGE CHARGER, AND I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUNK IT JUST OPENS FOR NO REASON. ALSO THE ALTERNATOR WENT OUT, AND THEY CLAIM MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST BUT IT HAS THE EXACT ALTERNATOR AS THE ONES ON THE RECALL LIST. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

I HAVE A 2011 CHARGER R/T AWD AND HAD THE BATTERY SAVER MODE COME ON YESTERDAY, ALONG WITH A WINDING NOISE AND ELECTRICAL BURNING ODOR. AFTER THIS THE CAR WOULD NOT START NO MORE AND THE BATTERY DRAINED. JUST GOT A CALL FROM DODGE IT IS MY ALTANATOR GONE BAD. THEY HAVE A RECALL WITH THIS ISSUE FOR OTHER VEHICLES BUT NOT MINES AND ITS THE SAME TYPE ALTANATOR.

MY 2011 DODGE CHARGER V8 HAS LESS THAN 27K MILES AND MY ALTERNATOR WENT OUT LAST WEEK. $619.99 LATER, I DID RESEARCH TO FIND OUT THERE IS A RECALL BUT ONLY ON THE V6 ENGINE, NOT THE V8. I THINK DODGE NEEDS TO INCLUDE THE V8'S IN THIS RECALL AS THERE IS NO REASON MY ALTERNATOR SHOULD HAVE GONE OUT THIS SOON!!

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WIRING HARNESS, OVER HEATED AND CAUSE HEAD LIGHTS TO GO OUT.

I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME FROM WORK WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON THE FREEWAY. ALL THESE LIGHTS CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD FROM TRACTION ABS BATTERY CAME ON. LUCKILY I COULD PULL OVER I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON BUT IT DID IT ANOTHER 3 TIMES BEFORE I GOT HOME VERY UNSAFE.
