4 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 10/10/2010

Approximately around October 2010, my brake light started to blink on and off. Shortly after that, the abs light started to do the same thing. When they would flash, they would also "ding" and it would shut off the radio until it was finished flashing and dinging. I have taken this car to numerous shops and has several diagnostics done, and no one can telll me wht the problem is. I have been told so many things. By the time I go to get something repaired, I'm informed that nothing is wrong with the parts that I have been informed to replace. I have been told that my alternator over charges, the chip in my key is missed up, my powertrain contrain module needs to be replaced, my motor mounts are loose (which I've already replaced), my battery was bad (which has also been replaced), and I also need to replace my engine wiring harness. This is over $5000 in repairs. The car is now starting to shut off when I'm at a stop light for too long. There has to be a way to find out what is wrong with this vehicle. It is costing me too much money to continue to pay the montlhly car not and diagnostic tests. I have contacted Chrysler and they have been no help at all. I seriously think that there should be a recall for this issue. I cannot be the only persone suffering with this problem. This is an issue that happens everyday. Because no one can properly diagnose this problem, it's really become excessive. It's an issue that I deal with on a daily basis.
