Alternator/generator/regulator problems of the 2010 Dodge Charger

I need assistance in having fca (fiat Chrysler automotive) important safety recall p60/NHTSA 14v-634 alternator honored (vanished according to fca) to cover the cost of replacing my alternator and battery in my 2010/2011 Dodge Charger (manufactured in late 2010) which according to the dealership, are now in need of replacement. I have experienced variable electrical/power failures with my vehicle over the course of the summer/fall months of 2020 from reduced and random, temporary power failures, electrical system voltage drops, and lightning bolt sensors coming on which instantly reduced the acceleration of the vehicle on the highway and on occasion even led to complete power failure, shutting off the engine when idling at a stop. This issue came to a head around the end of November 2020 when my vehicle electrical sensor came on randomly while at a stop light and the engine died and made no sound; it would not start.

While driving on a 2 lane highway with traffic behind me, the car shuts down and I lose power while driving. The steering wheel locked up making it very difficult to turn. I pressed the gas repeatedly and nothing happened. Cars behind me were blowing but there wasn't much I could do. The car was slowing down anyway so I pressed the brake and they worked so I struggled like crazy to turn the steering wheel and was able to put the car into a church driveway. Thank god the brakes worked or it could've been ugly. I tried starting the car but it wouldn't do anything but act like it wanted to start. It wasn't a clicking it was more like a winding noise like a ruuu ruuu ruuu. I tried to start it again and it made the same noise but it sounded worse. I had to have the car towed to my home because there wasn't a repair shop opened that late. I'm going to call a mechanic to see what the issue might be. This is not the first time this has happened to me. It happened two in April and three rimes in may of this year but it started back up. I wasn't so lucky this time. The last time it happened I replaced the alternator and the battery and I had not had any problems since doing that. I took it in to have it checked and it was placed on a machine and no codes would show up but the guy recommended I replace the alternator and the battery, and I did. Dodge really needs to do something ASAP. This shit is ridiculous. It happened to me when I was on the interstate and on the highway. Hopefully this doesn't happen with an inexperienced driver or someone in a really high traffic area because someone could get injured or killed. I guess that's what they're waiting on to fix the problem.

Recently I have changed the battery, alternator, and now the car is at the dealership and they changed some type of module that reads the keys, first they stated the fuse box in the trunk was the problem. They installed a new fuse box and they then stated that was not the problem. Next is when they replaced the module that reads the keys, and then they stated that all the fuses were blown and there had to be a power surge there was not. I don't understand why they didn't see the blown fuses when they started this whole process. Also, they stated that there is a recall on 2010 Dodge Chargers with the module that controls the keys however my car was 10 days outside of the build date to qualify. What is going and why would my car be outside the build date? they stated that they don't know what the issue is now. The official Dodge dealership has my car and they don't know what the issue is.

I was driving on the freeway when all of the sudden a bunch of warning lights started flashing on the dashboard so a pulled off the freeway and the motor died and would not start again. . I bought a brand new battery and put that in then the alternator started smocking and burned out so I bought a new one and put that in. I made it across town all light started flickering again and car shut off while driving. I replaced the alternator again and the same thing happened again! I don't know what to do now the car is dead!.

Wife was driving Charger when the gauges, radio, ac went hay wire and a few seconds later the car just died in heavy traffic and would not start back. Had car was towed and very costly as she was far from home. From what I could find online it sounded like the battery or alternator, removed both and had them tested and both are in good working order. Charged battery up and car started right up so we test from it. While driving it only a few miles we noticed that there is a strange new whining noise coming from under there hood, esp/ tration control lights came on and car died again charged battery again and it started right up again however we are reluctant to drive it again due to this issue. Sounds like alot of people in online forums are having this same issue, but yet no recalls or fix's for whatever the issue is.

The diodes in my alternator have gone bad and drained the battery. There are recalls for this on other the other sized engine and seems to be all previous years, but mine was skipped and now it has happened to mine.

Driving home and battery light came on and immediately following the car killed on me mid-rush hour on a very busy street between 3:00pm to 6:00pm out of no where. I had help to get it off the main road and asked for a jump start the car started up and ten minutes into the battery light came on again and the car killed. Called a tow man due to the risk level of not knowing when the car will kill again and most importantly where if I did the jump started again. Replaced the alternator/battery but issue remains with battery light coming on and shortly after car kills. A slight difference is the replaced battery allowed car to remain driven longer before it kills. Battery light comes on two to four minutes later car kills. (replaced battery) battery light comes on fifteen/twenty minutes later car kill.
