I bought my car brand new in 2012 from chryaler Dodge and Jeep in springfield PA. I babe around 96,000 miles on my car and this will now be the third alternator that has been put in my vehicle.

Along with some of the other recall items I am now reading about with my model, having kids, I am increasingly concerned about my health and saftey driving this vehicle. I want to know what can be done about this on your end.
Engine light came on, had battery replaced since the battery was about 6 years old. Car has only 29582 miles on it. Seemed to fix then while driving 3 miles later battery light came on again. Decided to take to dealer the mext morning. Then while driving to dealership the car began to rapidly lose functionality while warning lights were appearing on the dashboardone by one until it car lost power while driving. The time from no warning lights to complete loss of electrical functionality was approximately 2 minutes. The shut down included an abrupt loss of power steering and braking capabilities while driving on a busy street during day. I was able to quickly compensate for the loss of power steering and braking and stop the vehicle while drifting into a gas station parking lot. Attempts to restart the vehicle involved no clicking or the engine attempting to turn over. Had car towed to dealership. I can only assume ot may be the alternator since battery is brand new now.

To start off the abs and traction control will not stop turning off and on even after replacing everything . Almost all the time when it rains they will kick in the e brake and start grinding . No matter how many times I change the brakes and rotors and master control they never stop squeaking . Lastly almost all the electrical problems started after the alternator failed and I had to replace it . My speedometer just died on me today and I have no clue how that happened .

Passenger side pushes out cold air, terrible to drive in and uncomfortable. Battery has been replaced 4 times in the last 2 years. Alternator as well. While driving to work, my windshield frosted over from being so cold and I had to veer off the road to avoid getting into an accident.
While driving the battery light came on and electrical systems began to fail. Radio, abs system, windows and ac all shut off. The car failed to accelerate properly and engine would not shift gears. Braking and steering systems became compromised before car completely stalled and coasted to stop on side of road. Approximately 2-3 minutes from battery light going on to the car becoming totally nonresponsive. Car would not start, unless jumped. Required tow. Dealership states the issue was an alternator that shorted, and in turn burned out the battery. Required the replacement of both the alternator and the battery at a cost of approximately $1100. 00 (before negotiated discount of 10%).
While driving, the car began to rapidly lose functionality while warning lights were appearing on the dashboard until it abruptly shut down while driving in traffic. The time from no warning lights to complete loss of functionality was approximately 10-15 seconds. The shut down included an abrupt loss of power steering and braking capabilities while driving on a busy street at night. I was able to quickly compensate for the loss of power steering and braking and stop the vehicle while avoiding a crash, but just barely. Thankfully, I broke down next to two police officers who helped push my vehicle onto the side of the road. These officers may be able to attest to the fact that no noises or abnormal operation of the vehicle was apparent before the abrupt shut-off while driving. Attempts to restart the vehicle involved no clicking or the engine attempting to turn over. The vehicle is currently being repaired, but the preliminary diagnosis is one of a faulty alternator. I will attempt to retain the faulty alternator from the repair center. I had only started the car 2-3 minutes before the incident and there were no apparent electrical issues (engine struggling to start, lights dimming, etc. ) while starting the car or during operation.
