NOTE: I HAVE A RECORDING OF THE INCIDENT TO PROVIDE IF NEEDED. I WERE DRIVING TURNING A CORNER AND THE VEHICLE JUST STALLED. A FORD EXPLORER HOPPED THE CURB IN ORDER TO AVOID HITTING ME AT APPROX. 35-40 MPH. I RECENTLY HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED AND WITHIN THE PAST 10 DAYS I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE ALONGSIDE AN OILCHANGE. I LOOKED UP MY VEHICLE SAW THAT OTHERS HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT AND SAW THAT DODGE HAS A RECALL FOR MY YEAR MODEL FOR MY EXACT CURRENT ISSUE AND I WERE INFORMED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL. I SAID FOR SURE THIS INCIDENCE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE AND POSSIBLY MY CAR OR OTHERS COULD HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED BUT WHO SHOULD I REACH OUT TO TO CLARIFY. THE RESPONSE, NOONE. YOU ARE STUCK WITH A TRANSMISSION ISSUE EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE A RECALL OUT. THEN I WERE ASKED IF FOR ONLY $130 BUCKS AN HOUR WOULD I LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND CHECK IT IN. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON A ROAD 5 DAYS AGO. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN MY CAR SINCE I PARKED IT THAT DAY AND ARE QUITE FRANKLY AFRAID AS I TRAVEL WITH MY 2 SMALL CHILDREN. WHAT IS SOMEONE LIKE ME SUPPOSED TO DO?
