SHOW VERY SIMILAR SYMPTOMS FOR RECALL NUMBER 14V634000 (LOW POWER MODE, BATTERY LIGHT, COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE) WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT SINCE THE RECALL WAS FOR THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. I HAD TO REPLACE OUT OF POCKET WITH TOTAL REPAIR COST AT 1200.

ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY COMPLIANT - ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 26 WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET I NOTICED THAT MY CAR HAD A BURNING ODOR AND A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE.

AFTER RETURNING TO MY CAR AN HOUR LATER MY CAR STARTED BUT THE RADIO DID NOT COME ON. I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT AFTER APPROXIMATE 0.2 MILES IT SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER DOING RESEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE 3.6L CHRYSLER 300 HAD A RECALL ON. MY CAR IS A 5.7L HEMI 300S. IT HAS BEEN A DEATH TRAP FROM ONE DAY AND AT THIS POINT I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF THE ALTERNATOR ISSUE.
