2012 DODGE DURANGO Electrical System Problems

WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE STREET I SAW SOME WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT FROM THE HOOD I PARKED AND OPEN THE HOOD AND NOTICE THAT IN BACK OF THE ENGINE THERE WAS A FIRE. LUCKILY I CAUGHT ON TIME AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT BUT SOME OF THE WIRES GOT ALL BURNED UP.

WELL THERE'S SEVERAL ISSUES MAIN ONES BEING THE SELF ACCELERATIONS, NOT TO MENTION MAJOR FACTOR SCARY ONE IS MY VEHICLE GOES FROM P TO D WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE FOUND THIS OUT WHILE CAR WAS OFF MY 3YR OLD MOVED THE SHAFT FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL WHILE CLIMBING ACROSS TO ME AND CAR BEGAN TO ROLE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A 2 LANE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND ONCE PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER WE NOTICED A FUNNY SMELL AND FLAMES COMING UNDER THE HOOD. THE CAR BURNED UP AND ITS TOTALLED. LUCKILY NOONE IS HURT. *DT PHOTOS ATTACHED *JB

ENGINE STALLS WHEN STARTED FOR NO REASON. ENGINE ALSO CYCLES MULTIPLE TIMES WITH OUT STARTING. THEN WILL FINALLY START. THIS HAPPENS WITH THE KEY, OR USING HE PUSH BUTTON START. NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND NO CODES TO READ AT DEALER. HEAD LIGHTS, INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER. LIKE NO POWER GETTING TO ENGINE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING PERIODICALLY FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS. WE HAVE MONITORED DIFFERENT EVENTS TO TRY TO NARROW IT DOWN, HOWEVER THERE IS NO COMMON THREAD.

VEHICLE CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING OR WANT START AT ALL WITHOUT A JUMP OFF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON

CAR SHUTS OF SUDDENLY AT ANY SPEED, IT CAN BE RESTARTED WHILE IN NEUTRAL. HOWEVER IT WONT GO BACK INTO GEAR EVEN THOUGH IT LETS ME PUT IT IN DRIVE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AS ALL OF THE CARS FUNCTIONS GO DEAD POWER STEERING LIGHTS GAUGES, DOOR LOCKS WINDSHIELD WIPERS. IT CAUSES A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I CAN'T ALWAYS GET OVER TO A SAFE LANE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO RESTART AND REENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION. DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS FREE OF CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER

TIPM IS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ALL EMERGENCY WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND GAUGES WILL NOT FUNCTION. DODGE SAYS THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THE HIS ITEM EVEN THOUGH THEY DO ADMIT THAT IT HAS BECOME A MAJOR PROBLEM. IT IS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVING WITH SUCH A MALFUNCTIONING PART.

DRIVING AT 35 MPH CAME TO A SLOW DOWN TO TURN VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND CAUSED ME TO GO INTO A DITCH AS NO BREAKS, NO STEERING, AND ALL POWER LOST. ONCE PUT INTO PARK STARTED BACK UP IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT HAS HAPPENED FIRST TIME WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND I WAS ABOUT TO TAKE OFF. NO WARNING OR ANYTHING. THE FIRST TIME I DIDN'T HAVE MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND THE SECOND TIME I DID AND WE COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY HURT. I IS NOT SHOWING ANY CODES TO LET US KNOW WHAT I COULD POSSIBLY BE.

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS I'VE BEEN TAKING THIS VEHICLE TO SERVICE FOR DIFFERENT SERVICE ISSUES. THE MOST RECENT ONE IS THE DASH AND WHIPERS STARTED GOING CRAZY, A SUDDEN SMELL OF BURNT WIRES/ELECTRIC BURN. THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE GEAR SHIFTER DIDN'T WANT TO ENGAGE. I TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE BUT IT WOULDN'T START. THE VEHICLE IS NOT COMUNICATING WITH THE STARTING KEY. THE VEHICLE GOT TOWED TO THE DEELSRSHIP AND AFTER TWO DAYS THEY CALLED ME BACK SAYING THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT COMUNICATING WITH THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) THEREFOR THE CAN'T MAKE A DIAGNOSIS. THEY WILL HAVE TO CHECK EACH WIRE ONE BY ONE ABD THAT CHECK UP IS GOING TO COST 4 HOURS OF WORK AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $400 BEFORE THEY CAN RUN A DIAGNOSIS.

"TAKATA RECALL". VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL. DASH AND WIPERS STARTED GOING CRAZY THEN A SUDDEN SMELL OF BURNT WIRES/ELECTRIC BURN. THIS RESULTED ON COMPLETELY DEAD BATTERY DUE TO ALTERNATOR FAIL.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE JUST SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. SOMETIMES ITS JUST ALL THE LIGHTS AND ELECTRICAL GO OUT BUT THE VEHICLE STAYS RUNNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND MAKING LEFT TURNS ONLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD FLICKER WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S FRONT SEAT MELTED ALONG WITH THE REAR DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S HEATED SEAT ALSO SHOWED HEAT DAMAGE. ADDITIONALLY, THE REAR BACK-UP CAMERA WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED. MASSEY YARDLEY JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM (777 NORTH STATE ROAD 7, PLANTATION, FL 33317, (954) 327-4000) WAS CONTACTED AND NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,430. *TT*JB

TAKARA RECALL - LOUD CLICKING SOUNDS FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. TOOK IT LOCAL TRANSMISSION MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR. DID NOT GET A SAFETY WARNING LIGHT. AFTER CHECKING INTERNET NOTICE THAT I WAS THE FIRST WITH THIS PROBLEM. SEEMS DODGE HAS A HISTORY CONCERNING TRANSFER CASE MOTOR. THE CLICKING SOUNDS HAPPENED EVEN AFTER TURN VEHICLE OFF AND WHEN STARTING OR SHIFTING FROM P TO D,R OR N.

DRIVING, SUDDENLY CHARGING STATION LIGHT FLASHED ON SCREEN AND VEHICLE WAS MAKING REVING ENGINE SOUND. PULLED OVER AND SMOKE WAS EXITING FRONT GRILL. ALL ELECTRICAL DIED AND COULDN'T GET KEY OUT OF IGNITION. CALLED TOWING TO AUTO SHOP THAT WAS AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY. DIAGNOSIS WAS ALTERNATOR HAD IGNITED COMPUTER SYSTEM THEREFORE ALL ELECTRICAL POWER OUTAGE.

BEGINNING IN DEC 2017, WE'VE HAD SPORADIC ISSUES WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS AND LOCAL ROADS WITH SOME PORTION OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CENTER LCD DASH SCREEN POWERS OFF, AND WE LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. DASH LIGHTS, EXTERIOR LIGHTS, RADIO, A/C ALL STAY ON. TYPICALLY WE HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF & BACK ON FOR IT TO RETURN. FROM DEC-OCT, ITS HAPPENED APPROX 5-6 TIMES. THE DEALER WASN'T ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE FOR THE DAYS THEY HAD IT, AND NO ERROR CODES WERE WRITTEN. A FRIEND ALSO WITH A DURANGO DESCRIBED TO ME SIMILAR ISSUES WITH HIS, AND SAID HIS TIPM WAS FAULTY. WE HAVE LIFETIME WARRANTY, AND THE TIPM IS COVERED, BUT THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE IT UNTIL THE DEALER CAN REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND GET AN ERROR CODE POINTING TO THE TIPM. I BELIEVE BECAUSE WE LOSE POWER STEERING,...

WHILE DRIVING 55 MILES AN HOUR ON A STATE ROAD DRIVING STRAIGHT THE CAR COMPLETELY STARTED GOING CRAZY. THE DASHBOARD WAS BLINKING INDICATING THAT MY SEATBELT WAS NOT BUCKLED WHICH IT WAS, THE CAR WENT FROM DRIVE TO PARK TO NEUTRAL THE WIPERS STARTED AND IT WASN'T RAINING AND THE CAR THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN STOPPED DEAD. THE DEALER SAYS MY SPECIFIC CAR VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL WHERE THIS EXACT PROBLEM WAS STATED IN TWO PRIOR RECALLS. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS EVENT AND I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT OR SOMEONE ELSE HURT.

MY DURANGO HAD BEEN REPAIRED PER RECALL R09, AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS DOING THE SAME THING AS IT WAS BEFORE THE REPAIR, WHICH IS HAVE FAILED STARTS, AND THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING ( VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY ON THE FREEWAY).

REGARDING SAFETY RECALL R09 / NHTSA 15V-115 FUEL PUMP RELAY - 2012-2013 DODGE DURANGO & JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THIS RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE OTHER WEEK THE FIX FAILED SEVERAL TIMES STARTING THE CAR AND ONCE WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. I TOOK IT BACK IN TO THE DEALER TO GET THE FIX REDONE, IN THE TWO DAYS SINCE THE REDO THE CAR HAS ALREADY NOT STARTED SEVERAL TIMES AND STOPPED SUPPLYING POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ONCE. SO IN SHORT, THE FIX FOR THE ORIGINAL SAFETY ISSUE DOES NOT WORK AND IS EVEN WORSE THAN BEFORE THE FIX. SEARCHING ONLINE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE ALSO HAVE HAD THE FIX FAIL ON THEM AS WELL.

WE PURCHASED A CAR IN MARCH 2018, CAME TO FIND OUT IT HAD AN OPEN RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FIXED IT BUT THEY INSTALLED AN ALTERNATOR THAT ALSO HAS AN OPEN RECALL SO WE ASSUME THEY TOOK THE PART FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE INSTEAD OF REPLACING IT WITH A NEW ONE.

THIS VEHICLE HAS A LOT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE PUSH START DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK AND STALLS OUT. THE CAR HAS ALSO LOST POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING LUCKILY IT KICK BACK ON BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENED. IT ALSO TENDS TO SHIFT GEARS VERY HARD AT TIMES.

ONCE AGAIN IM DRIVING TO WORK ON 7/30/18 AS I GO TO GET OFF MY EXIT MY TRUCK SHUTS OFF AND ALMOST GOT STRUCK BY A TRACTOR TRAILOR. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS APPRANTLY MY TRUCK ISNT ON IT BUT ITS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL EXPLAINED. THIS TIME I WAS LUCKY THAT THE TRUCK DRIVER WASNT FOLLOWING TO CLOSE OR I PROBLY WOULDNT BE HERE TO TYPE THIS PROBLEM, I HOPE YOU GUYS CAN TAKE THE TIME OUT AND HELP ME WITH THIS SITUATION BEFORE IT BECOMES A BIG PROBLEM WHERE AS I MIGHT DIE DUE TO NOTHING IS BEING DONE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR TAKING THE TIME OUT TO READ MY EMAIL.

OK, SO WHILE I'M DRIVING TO WORK ON A BUSY HIGHWAY GO TO GET OFF MY EXIT LIKE ALWAYS MY TRUCK AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM. I TAKE MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, THEN I READ ABOUT A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR AND THE PROBLEM IT IS CAUSING WHICH SOUNDS LIKE WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING AT THE MOMENT. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHILE I HAVE MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK WITH ME AND GET REAR ENDED. SO I PRAY THAT YOU GUYS CAN COME UP WITH THE RIGHT SOLUTION FOR MY TRUCK. HOPEFULLY WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT KILLS ME AND MY FAMILY, THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY SITUATION

THERE IS A RECALL ON 2012 DODGE DURANGO ALTERNATOR BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ON THIS RECALL. AS I'M DRIVING MY TRUCK SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, I'M AFRAID THAT IF MY WIFE DRIVES MY TRUCK AND THIS HAPPENS TO HER OR MYSELF WITH OUR KIDS IN THE VEHICLE AND SOMEONE SLAMS IN THE BACK OF US I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL DO. SO I TOOK IT TO LIA DODGE WHERE I PURCHASED IT BUT THEY SAY IT'S NOTHING COMING UP WHEN THEY SCAN IT. BUT ONCE AGAIN LIKE I STATED IT KEEPS SHUTTING OFF AT LEAST 2_3TIMES PURE MONTH. SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF FAST. THANK YOU IN ADVANCED

THE BATTERY GETS DRAIN OUT WITHOUT WARNING IT HAPPENS ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH LATELY IT'S HAPPENING MORE OFTEN, MY TRUCK WON'T START EVEN IF THE DAY BEFORE WAS RUNNING BATTERY WAS CHECK AND IT'S FINE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IT'S ON NOW ONCE THE TRUCK DIDN'T WANT TO TURN ON. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS A RELAY ISSUE. BRAKES ARE IN THE RECALL VIN CHECK LIST ALONG ONE OTHER RECALL. THE LIGHTS INSIDE TURN ON AND OFF AS WELL AS IF THERE IS A SHORT GOING ON WHILE IN DRIVING MODE IT FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK IS LOOSING POWER EVEN THOUGH IT HAS GAS. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.

USING THE PUSH BUTTON START SYSTEM, WITH THE ENGINE OFF, THE BRAKE PEDAL NOT DEPRESSED, AND THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTOR SET TO P(ARK). WHEN THE PUSH BUTTON START IS PRESSED TWICE, THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO START UP, AND STARTED TO MOVE ON IT'S OWN. THERE WAS NOBODY IN THE DRIVER SEAT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED, THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK. BLUE WATER CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN FORT GRATIOT, MI HAS VERIFIED THIS TO BE HAPPENING AND REPRODUCIBLE.

WE HAVE TAKEN MY SUV IN FOR THIS STARTER ISSUE FOR ALMOST AS LONG AS WE HAVE HAD IT. IT ACTS AS THOUGH IT IS STARTING BUT WONT TURN OVER. WE HAVE TO POP OUT THE PUSH TO START BUTTON AND MANUALLY TURN THE CAR OFF FOR IT TO STOP. IT DOES THIS MULTIPLE TIMES IN A ROW BEFORE STARTING. FINALLY AFTER 4 OR 5 VISITS FOR THE ISSUE, DODGE SAYS ITS SOME FUEL PUMP RELAY SO THEY FIXED THAT, BUT THE PROBLEM RETURNED. THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED ONE DAY WHILE WE WERE DRIVING, AND IT STOPPED TURNING ON. WE LOST ALL POWER, NO POWER STEERING, AND EVERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH BOARD. THIS HAPPENED AS WE WERE EXITING THE DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY... LUCKILY WE WERE EXITING! WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS OCCURRED IN...

THE CHECK ENGINE BULB IS FUNCTIONAL (LIGHTS UP INITIALLY WHEN TURNING ON THE VEHICLE), BUT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THERE IS AN ENGINE CODE REPORTED. I'VE ENCOUNTERED 2 DIFFERENT PROBLEMS WHERE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T ILLUMINATE. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WAS MALFUNCTIONING, AND THE CAR OCCASIONALLY WENT INTO LIMP MODE, USUALLY ON HIGHWAYS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, SOMETIMES AT HIGH SPEEDS, RISKING A REAR END COLLISION. FORTUNATELY THE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED, BUT THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE CRUISE CONTROL IS MALFUNCTIONING, DISENGAGING AT RANDOM TIMES AT HIGH SPEEDS ON A HIGHWAY, AGAIN RISKING A REAR END COLLISION. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATE, AND THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AN ENGINE CODE READ REPORTS ERROR P0572, WHICH INDICATES A PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL, BUT THERE IS STILL NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED WITH FORCE, BUT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A FRACTURED BACK IN TWO PLACES AND A RUPTURED LEFT BREAST IMPLANT, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL TREATMENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO A FACILITY AND A YARD, BUT WAS NOT INVESTIGATED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY OR A DEALER.

AFTER PRESSING THE VEHICLE IGNITION BUTTON TO TURN OFF, IF YOU PRESS THE BUTTON TO TURN IT BACK ON, IT CONSTANTLY TRIES TO TURN OVER. THIS HAPPENS ALSO WHEN YOU PRESS THE IGNITION BUTTON AND IT DOESN'T TURN OVER. IF YOU PRESS THE IGNITION BUTTON, IT DOESN'T START, PRESS THE BUTTON AGAIN, IT CONSTANTLY TURNS OVER. THE ONLY WAY TO SUCCESSFULLY START IT AFTER THAT IS TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE, CLOSE THE DOOR, AND GET BACK IN. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH EXITING THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CONTINUED DRIVING AND DID NOT COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000.

COMPUTER FAILURE: BAD ALTERNATOR (FOR WHICH THERE IS A RECALL) MALFUNCTIONED, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, AND AT THE SAME TIME, DAMAGED THE COMPUTER, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN. WHILE DRIVING, MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS (SEAT BELT, OIL, ALTERNATOR, ETC.) WOULD FLASH ON AND OFF. I WAS TURNED INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED INTO A SPACE, BUT THE ENGINE DIED AND I COASTED TO A STOP. CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER THAT.

THE FAILED TIPM IS DANGEROUS AND COULD LEAVE YOU STRANDED FROM ASTALLED ENGINE. THE FAILED ALTERNATOR MAY HAVE BEEN A BY PRODUCT OF THE FAULTY TIPM. THIS PART SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL.

T38 RECALL: I'VE TAKEN MY VEHICLE INTO PRESTIGE CHRYSLER DODGE, LAS VEGAS ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS CONCERNED ABOUT LOSS OF POWER AND STALLING WHILE TURNING AND HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR THE T38 RECALL. YESTERDAY I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BECAUSE MY VEHICLE LOST POWER DURING A TURN OFF THE INTERSTATE. THEY HAVE HOWEVER, CHARGED ME FOR OTHER ISSUES LIKE AN OIL PRESSURE SENSOR (SEE ATTACHED) THAT HAS NOT FIXED MY LOSS OF POWER. I CALLED FCA RECALL AND THEY HAVE SENT ME TO AN ALTERNATIVE DEALERSHIP FOR A REPLACEMENT ALTERNATOR. PRESTIGE CHRYSLER DODGE OF LAS VEGAS IS REFUSING TO FIX KNOWN SAFETY ISSUES AND ADVISED ME THAT THEY HAD TESTED MY ALTERNATOR AND KNEW IT WAS FAULTY, YET COULD NOT REPAIR IT WITHOUT THE RECALL PARTS.
