ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SEVERAL MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE (P60/NHTSA 14V634) STATING DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH THE ALTERNATOR THE CAR COULD LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING AND/OR CATCH ON FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. ALSO STATED THERE WERE NO PARTS TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. ON THE NIGHT OF FEB 26 I STARTED THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT OF A STORE CLOSE TO HOME AND HEARD AN UNUSUAL SOUND FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WAS ALREADY MOVING SO I DROVE THE HALF MILE HOME PULLED IN GARAGE AND OPENED THE HOOD. THE ALTERNATOR WAS SMOKING HEAVILY. I PULLED THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE TURNED IT OFF, CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL LINE AND THEY SET UP TOWING TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP FOR THE NEXT MORNING. IT TOOK 2 HOURS FOR THE ALTERNATOR TO QUIT SMOKING. THE NEXT MORNING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. NO POWER ANYWHERE FOR ANYTHING. I CALLED SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF ELK GROVE CHRYSLER AND TALKED TO A SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THE CAR COMING IN ON A FLAT BED. WAS ADVISED THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE RECALL PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT AND THAT I COULDN'T GET A LOANER BECAUSE I HADN'T TAKEN OUT THE EXTENDED COVERAGE..?? HE SAID THE FIX MAY ONLY TRAKE THE ONE DAY ANYWAY SO NO NEED FOR A LOANER. THE FIX TOOK 2 DAYS. PICKED THE CAR UP AND SEEMS OK. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT IT WAS FIXED WITH THE SAME TYPE OF ALTERNATOR THAT THE RECALL IS FOR. STILL NO ALTERNATORS AVAILABLE THAT HAVE THE PROBLEMS CORRECTED SO I' RIGHT BACK WHERE I STARTED OR WORSE, THIS WEBSITE NOW SHOWS MY CAR AS BEING FIXED AND HAVING NO APPLICABLE RECALLS. I DON'T TRUST MY CAR, NOT SURE I TRUST CHRYSLER AT THIS POINT. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 50 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY DIED. I FIGURED IT WAS DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR RECALL. AFTER GETTING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS WATER IN THE INTAKE AND I MUST HAVE DRIVEN THROUGH HIGH WATER. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN THROUGH HIGH WATER. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER 2013 DODGE CHALLENGERS. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. HOW CAN WATER GET INTO A MOTOR FOR NO REASON AND CAUSE IT TO DIE AS YOU ARE DRIVING? IF YOU DRIVE WHEN IT IS RAINING OR IF YOU HIT A PUDDLE ON THE BLACKTOP IT IS GOING TO CAUSE YOUR CAR TO JUST DIE? IF WASN'T RAINING WHEN IT HAPPENED TO MINE AND THERE WAS NO WATER ON THE ROAD BUT IT HAD RAINED EARLIER IN THE DAY MAYBE 4 HOURS PRIOR TO THE CAR DYING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
RECALL SENT TO HOME P60 / NHTSA 14V-634 FOR 160-AM ALTERNATOR PROBLEM: THE ALTERNATOR DIODES IN YOUR VEHICLE MAY EXPERIENCE RAPID FAILURE. VARIABILITY IN THE FAILURE MODE RANGES FROM NO OUTPUT, REDUCED OUTPUT, AND/OR A FULLY SHORTED TO GROUND CONDITION. DEPENDENT ON THE ALTERNATOR FAILURE MOD AND TIMING, VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM VOLTAGE MAY DROP TO CRITICAL LEVELS, DISABLING SYSTEMS SUCH AS ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE AND/OR CENTRAL BODY CONTROLLER. THE DRIVER WILL HAVE LIMITED OR NO DETECTION OF THE ALTERNATOR FAILING, WHICH CAN RESULT IN VEHICLE SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING AND/OR AN UNDER-HOOD ELECTRICAL FIRE. CHRYSLER INTENDS TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE FREE OF CHARGE (PARTS AND LABOR) HOWEVER, THE PARTS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION ARE CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE. CHRYSLER IS MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO OBTAIN THESE PARTS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. WILL CONTACT YOU AGAIN BY MAIL, WITH A FOLLOW-UP RECALL NOTICE, WHEN THE REMEDY PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TODAY TO SEE ABOUT ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION 800-853-1403 AND WAS TOLD THAT NONE WAS BEING PROVIDED AT THIS TIME AND THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS AN IRRESPONSIBLE RESPONSE, CONSIDERING THE ITEMS LISTED ABOVE IN THE RECALL SUCH AS ELECTRICAL FIRE AND FAILURE FOR THE VEHICLE TO OPERATE AND CONTROL ABS ETC. DURING DRIVING. I INFORMED THE CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE THAT THIS WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO PUT OUR FAMILY MEMBER BEHIND THE WHEEL AND THAT THIS WAS CHRYSLER'S BURDEN TO REPAIR IN A TIMELY MANNER OR PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION. WE CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. OTHER PEOPLE GO ON TO DRIVE THEIR RECALLED VEHICLES, ONLY TO HAVE ACCIDENTS AND UNFORTUNATELY DEATH DUE TO THESE RECALLS; (RECENT CHEVROLET IGNITION ISSUES ETC.) *TR
