EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS CUSTOMERS ARE REPORTING FOR NHSTA CAMPAIGN 1V634000. HOWEVER, MY CAR IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT HAS A 180 AMP ALTERNATOR AND THE RECALL IS FOR 160 AMP ALTERNATORS. I HAD SUDDEN ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL INSIDE CAR AND SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. DEALER REPLACED ALTERNATOR UNDER MY SERVICE CONTRACT (OUT OF WARRANT) SO IT COST ME $100.00 INSTEAD OF 700-900 DOLLARS. IT PRETTY CLEAR THESE 180 AMP ALTERNATORS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. CHRYSLER ONLY CARES ABOUT THEIR BOTTOM LINE. I WANT MY $100.00 BACK CHRYSLER.

UPON EXITING VEHICLE (WHILE PLACING ROCKER GEAR SHIFT IN PARK POSITION), VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY IN REVERSE DOWN INCLINED DRIVEWAY. PERSONAL INJURY AND VEHICLE BODY DAMAGE SUSTAINED TO RIGHT REAR LOWER PANEL.

ALTERNATOR WENT OUT. IT'S A RECALL ON THOUSANDS OF CAR BUT SUPPOSEDLY NOT THIS CAR. CAR LOST POWER WILL I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH MY 2012 CHRYSLER 300.
