Alternator/generator/regulator problems of the 2013 Dodge Challenger

I was driving my car like normal for the past 2/12 years. It's a 2013 Challenger 5. 70. My car went dead while driving. I lost control of the car, but, thank god I didn't hit anything or anyone. I ran tests on my car battery, it's good. Interesting note: I had the alternator replace six months ago on a factory recall. The Dodge dealer told me it's not the alternator, though replaced it anyway. They said it's the power steering pump and electric problem due to a wire not communicating to the bus or computer. (don't know what that means I'm not a car guy) however, I also own a 2006 Chrysler 300 that did the same thing to me on the freeway while I was driving 70 mph. Could have died both times. At this point, I don't know it Dodge is simply making cheap parts or Dodge service is trying to turn a 2nd alternator replacement into a profit. I say this because I was able to disconnect the batter, then reconnect it to pull forward on the tow truck now they are telling me the car dies when they reassemble it. I also say this because they are telling me the pump is damaged yet I'v had work done there before with no indication of a problem. I've had work and repairs done including smog checks within the last year with no negative readings indicating a problem or miscommunication. I see recalls on the electric system, power steering pump and alternator yet none based on my VIN. Meanwhile browning Dodge wants to charge me $1800 bucks.

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Challenger. The contact stated that the front passenger window was functioning independently and caused the battery to drain. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the alternator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The dealer (kearny mesa Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram located at 8010 balboa Ave san diego, CA 92111 phone number: 858-560-7100) was contacted and informed the contact about an unknown recall regarding the alternator; however, the VIN was not included in a recall. The manufacturer was notified and provided case number: 716-289-82. The failure mileage was approximately 76,095.

The vehicle suddenly started smoking, immediately followed by fire while I was stopped at a red light in the middle of town. My 2013 Dodge Challenger only had 20,000 miles on it, and all service was done as recommended by Dodge, at a certified shop. I reported the issue to Dodge, and they denied any manufacturing defect, despite the fact that there is a recall for my model, because of known issues regarding alternators overheating, or short circuiting, causing thermal diode fatigue. The car was consumed by flames within minutes, and was deemed a total loss by my insurance company. I have not yet received a settlement.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Dodge Challenger. The contact stated that there was an electrical short to the power control module and battery.

The dealer indicated that they would be able to replace the same part and that the newly designed alternator assembly may become available in mid February of 2018. The vehicle was still at the dealer and was unable to be driven. The dealer asked the contact to tow the vehicle to his residence if the vehicle was not going to be repaired.

Smart glass draining battery, takata inflator recall, timing chain recall and alternator recall in Dec 2017 my Dodge Challenger 13� ran out of battery & was towed to a repair shop. There were 2 recalls, one being an alternator, causing the battery to drain and not able to be jumped. After 1. 5 months of talking to Chrysler fca recalls about how to get the recall work complete, my car arrived at covert Dodge in austin in Jan 2018 (I paid for tow out of pocket). From Dec to Mar 20th, I was without a car and covert /fca would not put me in a rental while waiting on back ordered parts. On Mar 20th, they put me in a rental vehicle. Apr 20th fca called to tell 1) all 3 recalls have been addressed 2) the Smart glass window module, which is actually what is causing the battery to drain, is still on backorder (eta may 29, but not a firm eta and this part has been on backorder since Jan) but the car can be driven without operable windows, 3) I need to return the rental in 2 days and pick up my car. I stated that it is unsafe to drive a car with inoperable windows (getting pulled over and having to open my door to talk to the police, extremely hot weather in texas and not being able to open the windows, little kids and car sickness, unable to use drive-through anything, etc). The service manager stated that he can't comment on safety, but the car is drivable. The case manager at fca said that she can only address safety concerns in bulletins from fca. The Smart glass window module has been on back order for me since Jan 2018 and no confirmed eta. This part has been recalled on 2012 and 2011 Challenger and multiple other mopar part cars. There is a long list of people waiting for this part (probably 1000s), many due to a recall. In the meantime, I'm expected to use my car without working windows - meaning windows have to be closed and can not open.

Several months ago I received a recall notice (p60/NHTSA 14v634) stating due to problems with the alternator the car could lose power while driving and/or catch on fire under the hood. Also stated there were no parts to correct the situation. On the night of Feb 26 I started the car in the parking lot of a store close to home and heard an unusual sound from under the hood. Was already moving so I drove the half mile home pulled in garage and opened the hood. The alternator was smoking heavily. I pulled the car out of the garage turned it off, called the Chrysler recall line and they set up towing to the nearest dealership for the next morning. It took 2 hours for the alternator to quit smoking. The next morning the electrical system was completely dead. No power anywhere for anything. I called service department of elk grove Chrysler and talked to a service manager about the car coming in on a flat bed. Was advised that it sounded like the recall problem and they would take care of it and that I couldn't get a loaner because I hadn't taken out the extended coverage. . ?? he said the fix may only trake the one day anyway so no need for a loaner. The fix took 2 days. Picked the car up and seems ok. The only problem is that it was fixed with the same type of alternator that the recall is for. Still no alternators available that have the problems corrected so I' right back where I started or worse, this website now shows my car as being fixed and having no applicable recalls. I don't trust my car, not sure I trust Chrysler at this point.
