Was driving down a busy intersection when car lost power and then stopped shut off steering was then hard and difficult to turn on a major intersection and then I was unable to move the vehicle vehicle the steering was very difficultly will crank but will not start because the alternator gave up died I then called the dealership they said they would fix it I just had to take it over there I had to tow it over there then as I got it there they said the vehicle wouldn't turn on I told him it was because the alternator was no good and it shut off and the story behind it they didn't say that they would charge me and they've had it since Thursday today is now Sunday they said they cannot work on it until they know for sure that is the alternator I know it is I had it checked before the alternator had went out.
I nearly was killed today getting off highway I-10 when my entire car shut down. The entire electrical system failed abs, esp, bas, traction lighting all came on - power steering did not work- completely shut down with no recourse finally coasted to park in the garage close by on a downhill exit. I was fortunate enough to find an exit to the parking lot and literally coasted in without power steering or any electrical and was afraid the brakes would not work to even stop the car. Fortunately, it coasted and stopped. Previously received an alternator recall notice from Dodge, but was told they did not have any parts available to fix this vehicle. I had no idea that meant my entire car would die on the highway without the ability to even steer.
