WE HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE ALTERNATOR WHICH NEARLY CAUSED A WRECK WITH MY ENTIRE FAMILY (INFANT DAUGHTER WAS IN CAR AT THE TIME WHEN THE HIGH HEAT CAME ON AND WINDOWS LOCKED NOT ALLOWING US TO TURN HEAT OFF OR GET OUT FOR A MINUTE) WHILE WE WERE DRIVING BACK HOME AND HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AND GET IT FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP EARLIER THIS YEAR AROUND JANUARY. NOW THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS STAYING ON CONSTANTLY, AND AS OF 3 DAYS AGO (08/21/2016) THE RADIO STOPS WORKING AND YESTERDAY (08/23/2016) THE ABS & TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF NOW (AT 60 MPH THAT'S SCARY WHEN YOUR FAMILY IS WITH YOU AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS AND AIRBAG LIGHTS COME ON!!!!!!!). SO THIS MAKES 3 WARNING LIGHTS THAT ARE NOW ON CONSTANTLY, YET THE RECALLS FOR THESE ISSUES DO NOT APPLY TO THIS VIN NUMBER, BUT THE PROBLEMS ARE HAPPENING EXACTLY THE SAME AS OTHER PEOPLES PROBLEMS WHO WERE PART OF RECALLS. MY DEALERSHIP WON'T FIX IT UNLESS I PAY BECAUSE MY CARS VIN NUMBER DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL, YET THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS ARE HAPPENING AS RECALL PROBLEMS. I WILL NEVER BUY DODGE AGAIN AS THEY HAVE NEARLY KILLED ME AND MY FAMILY ENOUGH, AND ARE TURNING OUT TO BE VERY DISHONEST!

I HAVE A 2012 DODGE CHARGER WITH 60,000 MILES ON IT YESTERDAY THE ALTERNATOR HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON A STATE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE SHE WAS IN THE ROADWAY BUT SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE ROADSIDE BECAUSE SHE WAS ON A DOWN HILL SLOPE. WHEN WE TRIED TO JUMP START THE VEHICLE IT STARTED SMOKING THE JUMPER CABLES. OUR CAR HAS THE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR I SEE WHERE THERE IS A ALREADY A RECALL ON THE 160 AMP ALTERNATORS FOR THIS VEHICLE I THINK THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE 180 AMP ALTERNATORS TOO BECAUSE THE PROBLEM SOUNDS THE SAME.
