ON MARCH 4, 2014, MY CAR SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THE MESSAGE ON THE DASH BOARD SAID "ABS" AND THE TRACTION LIGHTS CAME ON AND TURNED MY CAR OFF. I HAD TO PAY 807.84 OUT OF POCKET FOR A NEW ALTERNATOR.ON DECEMBER 1,2014 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE ALTERNATORS IN THE DODGE CHARGER WHICH I CURRENTLY HAVE. I PURCHASED THIS CAR JULY OF 2012. I'VE ALREADY SPENT OVER 2,000 OUT OF POCKET IN REPAIRS FOR A NEW MODEL 2012 CAR. THE DEALERSHIP I RECEIVED THE CAR FROM IS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I NOW REGRET EVER GETTING A DODGE CHARGER FROM [XXX] USURY(WHEN I PURCHASED) (CURRENT NAME). THE SALESMAN/SERVICE TEAM MAKE A MOCKERY OUT OF ME BRINGING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET REPAIRS EVERY 3 TO 6 MONTHS. ONCE SALESMAN SUGGESTED THAT DODGE IS NOT A GOOD CAR AND I NEED TO TRADE IT IN IMMEDIATELY. THE SERVICE TEAM CAN SEE THAT YOU NEED ASSISTANCE WHEN YOU PULL UP TO THE DOOR AND WILL NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE CUSTOMERS. ON 1/19/15 I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON. INSTEAD OF TELLING ME THAT IT WOULD BE A FEE OF 143.00 BEFORE TAKING MY CAR INTO THE SERVICE SHOP THAT DID NOT TAKE PLACE. I NEVER SIGNED ANYTHING STATING A FEE WOULD BE CHARGED TO ME TO TELL ME WHY THE LIGHT WAS ON IN MY CAR. NOW I NEED A NEW THERMOSTAT AND A COOLANT FLUSH WHICH THEY QUOTED A PRICE OF AN ADDITIONAL 400.00. AFTER THE HELL I HAVE EXPERIENCED AT THIS DEALERSHIP I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM THIS DEALERSHIP. I SUBMITTED ALL OF MY RECEIPTS ON 12/5/2014 TO THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER FOR REIMBURSEMENT AND I HAVE YET TO HEAR ANYTHING BACK FROM THEM IN REFERENCE TO REIMBURSING MY 800.00 DOLLARS FOR REPLACING A ALTERNATOR. IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE A WATER PUMP AS WELL THAT COST OVER 400.00 DOLLARS. ITS BECOMING VERY EXPENSIVE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR
