ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
LIKE SO MANY OTHERS, WAS DRIVING WHEN BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON WITH AN ELECTRICAL SMELL. CONTINUED DRIVING TO A MIDAS WHEN ALL LIGHTS AND BELLS WERE GOING OFF. EVENTUALLY TRIED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND STEERING WAS GONE AND I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO COAST INTO MIDAS. THEY DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED ALTERNATOR. MY MECHANIC TOWED THE CAR TO HIS SHOP AND REPLACED ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY BUT THAT WAS NOT THE SOLUTION. IT ENDED UP BEING THE PCM. EXPENSIVE FIX THAT MAY PUSH ME TOWARDS PURCHASING A DIFFERENT VEHICLE INSTEAD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WITHOUT WARNING MY ALTERNATOR HAS FAILED ON MY DURANGO, I WENT TO START IT UP FOR WORK AND I GOT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I LOOKED UP RECALLS, BECAUSE IT FRIED MY BATTERY AS WELL, AND I SEE A RECALL ON SOME MODELS WITH THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR, BUT NOT MINE BECAUSE IT IS 180 AMP. THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE FURTHER INVESTIGATED, BECAUSE I HAVE HAD AN ALTERNATOR GO OUT BEFORE ON OTHER VEHICLES, BUT THERE ARE WARNING SIGNS, AND THERE WERE NONE WHICH WOULD LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A FAULTY DEVICE OR HOOK UP. TH8S IS COSTING ME ALMOST $1000, WHICH AS A MILITARY SPOUSE WITH 2 CHILDREN AND A DEPLOYED HUSBAND WE DO NOT HAVE FOR SOME ERRONEOUS PART.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVING LOCALLY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN A WHIZZING SOUND FROM UNDER HOOD. I PULLED OVER NOISE STOPPED. CONTINUED DRIVING ON 40MPH ROAD AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, RPM INDICATOR ERRATIC. NOT TOO FAR FROM HOME AN ELECTRICAL FIRE SMELL COMING FROM UNDER HOOD. MADE IT HOME SAFELY. CALLED DODGE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK ABOUT RECALL, SPECIFICALLY THE 2015 ALTERNATOR RECALL TO SEE IF SOMEHOW MY VEHICLE WAS MISSED ON THAT RECALL. VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED SO TOOK TO MECHANIC. HE HAS HAD AN EXTREMELY TIME CONSUMING AND COSTLY FEW DAYS TRYING TO REPAIR. SEEMED JUST LIKE THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED REPLACING BUT THEN HE SAID BATTERY WAS DEAD. REPLACED WITH NEW BATTERY AND THAT WAS KILLED. HE CHARGED BATTERIES SEPARATELY AND THEY WERE FINE, SOON AS THEY WERE PUT INTO CAR THEY WERE QUICKLY DRAINED. HE SUSPECTED COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS SHOT. CALLED IN SPECIALIST TO CONFIRM. MEANWHILE I SEE THERE IS AN UPCOMING RECALL T36 FOR THIS EXACT SUDDEN ALTERNATOR FAILURE ISSUE (WHICH MINE SHOULD FALL UNDER) BUT NOTICES NOT GOING OUT UNTIL 8/24/17. ABSOLUTELY CRAZY!!! I'VE READ THE RECENT COMPLAINTS AND SOME PEOPLE WERE DRIVING WHEN THEIR WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING AND CAR SHUT DOWN. I'M FORTUNATE ENOUGH THAT I WASN'T DRIVING WHILE MY COMPUTER SYSTEM FAILED AND ALSO LUCKY THAT I WAS CLOSE TO HOME WHEN SMELL STARTED, BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE RECALL THESE ALTERNATORS CAN START FIRES. HOW CAN THEY ANNOUNCE THIS RECALL MID JULY BUT NOT NOTIFY AFFECTED CONSUMERS FOR 7 WEEKS? RIGHT NOW MY VIN IS STILL NOT LISTED UNDER ANY RECALL. IT MOST BETTER BE OR IT WILL BE HANDLED IN A LEGAL MANNER. SO FAR I HAVEN'T HAD MY PRIMARY VEHICLE FOR 3 DAYS, AND IS GOING TO BE AT LEAST 2-3 MORE. NOT TO MENTION THE THOUSANDS THAT I HAVE TO COME UP WITH FOR PARTS, HOURS WORTH OF LABOR, AND SPECIALIST TO REPROGRAM NEW COMPUTER.

HUSBAND THOUGHT THE LIGHTS SEEMED DIM WHEN WE WERE COMING HOME TONIGHT THEN THE BATTERY LIGHT WENT ON. ADVANCE AUTO WAS ABLE TO RUN THE DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID MY BATTERY SHOULD HAVE 700 COLD CRANKING AMPS BUT WAS REGISTERING 373 (OR SOMEWHERE CLOSE TO THAT) BUT IT WASN'T SHOWING ANYTHING FOR THE ALTERNATOR AFTER TWO TESTS. HUSBAND AND I HAD NOTICED A FUNNY SMELL IN THE ENGINE AFTER WE HAD GOTTEN HOME. WELL, WHEN I LEFT ADVANCE AUTO, THERE WAS A FUNNY BUZZING SOUND, MY INDICATOR WAS SAYING MY SEATBELT WAS UNBUCKLED WHEN IT WASN'T, MY TRACTION CONTROL, ABS BREAK LIGHT, AIRBAG LIGHT AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE STARTED COMING ON. THE BUZZING SOUND GOT WORSE SO I PULLED OVER TO A DAYCARE PARKING LOT FROM A WELL TRAVELED ROAD AND JUST AS I DID, THE CAR SHUT OFF AND SEEMED TO LOCK UP. EVERYTHING THAT SHOULD HAVE LIT UP WAS DARK. NO LIGHTS WHATSOEVER INSIDE OR OUT, AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS WON'T WORK, ETC. I CAN'T GET THE KEY OUT, I COULDN'T PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, BRAKE PETAL WOULDN'T GO DOWN...NOTHING. TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED TO TAKE MY CAR HOME UNTIL I COULD CONTACT REPAIR SHOP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE BATTERY LIGHT INDICATOR ILLUMINATED IN THE DRIVER'S INFORMATION PANEL. WITHIN ANOTHER MINUTE THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT WARNING BEGAN CHIMING & FLASHING IN THE DISPLAY ALSO, EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVER'S SEATBELT WAS BUCKLED. AT THIS TIME ALL OF THE INDICATORS IN THE DRIVER'S INFORMATION PANEL BEGAN SPORADICALLY FLASHING. WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MINUTES, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING & THE CAR SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A MECHANICS SHOP. THERE, THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY & ALTERNATOR. UPON REPLACING THE PARTS, THE MECHANIC LISTED "MORE ISSUES EXIST, VEHICLE STILL DOES NOT STAY RUNNING. POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH ECM AND/OR CAC". THE MECHANIC ALSO POINTED OUT TO ME SAFETY RECALL P60/NHTSA WHICH WAS FOR A 2012 DODGE DURANGO (SAME MODEL YEAR AS MINE). WHEN I CONTACTED THE DODGE DEALER ABOUT THIS RECALL, HE INSTRUCTED ME THAT IT WAS ONLY FOR THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. MINE CONTAINED THE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR & WAS BUILT ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE THE RECALLED VEHICLES. HOWEVER, BOTH THE 160 AMP & THE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR SEEM TO SUFFER FROM THE SAME PROBLEMS. WITH ONLY A SHORT CHECK OF THE INTERNET, I WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY OVER 100 CASES OF 180 AMP DODGE DURANGO SUDDENLY LOSING POWER WHILE BEING DRIVEN & CAUSING CATASTROPHIC ELECTRICAL FAILURE; SOME TRAVELING AS FAST AS 40-50 MPH. LUCKY FOR ME, I WAS ONLY GOING 10-15 MPH WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS. ALTHOUGH IT WAS AROUND A CURVE THE ISSUE BEGAN WHILE I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A 6 LANE BYPASS DRIVING BETWEEN 40-45 MPH. I CAN NOT BEGIN TO EXPLAIN HOW UNBELIEVABLY FRUSTRATING IT IS FOR THE AUTOMAKER TO DENY THEIR CULPABILITY ON AN ISSUE THAT IS PUTTING THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES IN GRAVE DANGER & EQUALLY AS DISAPPOINTING TO FORCE THEIR OWN CUSTOMERS TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THEIR OWN CARELESS MISTAKE.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET I APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PROCEEDED TO GO.I NOTICED THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO TAKE OFF AND LOOKED DOWN AND REALIZED THE VEHICLE WAS IN 4TH GEAR. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND EACH TIME I HAVE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED. I HAVE REPLACED THE SHIFT SOLENOID PACK 3 TIMES AND REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION ONCE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE I LAST HAD THIS SERVICE DONE 2 WEEKS AGO THEY WILL COVER THE PARTS BUT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE LABOR.
