Alternator/generator/regulator Problems of Dodge Charger - part 1

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 my battery light come on. That is due to alternator malfunction. The first time it happen all my electrical devices where going on and off. And my steering wheel locked and unlocked due to being a electronic steering. What I did I tried to pull over and stop at a safe place and waiting and the vehicle when back to normal mode except the battery light stayed on and the message in my cluster that said "battery safe mode". So I went back home and checked the voltage on my battery that read 11. 8 to 12. 3. So I took it to the dealer for the recall of the alternator. The dealer replaced it and said it's ok now. I took it home and on the way home it happen again and I took it back to the dealer and got it checked. And they said they found corrosion the the signal plug of the alternator. They cleaned it and said it ok now. A week passed by and it happen again all electrical started to turn on and off including the steering locking up and the battery light came on. And I took it back again to the dealer. And now they said they have to charge me to diagnose the issue if it's not the alternator. Charging system is not part of the alternator and they charge for that issue. Isn't the charging system part of the alternator like the voltage regulator that is in the pcm? if that is a bad component and making the alternator malfunction it's a problem for not making any current. All this happen in motion on street and on highway. All this started on June 3 2020 till now June 25 2020.

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.

A recall for an alternator on my vehicle is said to be fixed but the alternator on my car doesn't match with the alternator replacement in the recall letter. I currently am having electrical issues needed to know if my alternator was fixed and with the correct part.

Today my car turned off all of a sudden out of no where. I have stated to the dealer for years that it is not normal for a car to say battery saver mode and lights, radio, dash and all electrical devices in a vehicle to turn of or stutter of and on. They said it is normal and that it is my battery. If a car turns on the alternator is supposed to take all the load off of the battery running in the engine nothing else. My car has stuttered multiple time off and in while driving and even almost turned off. This is not safe for driving around, because car could turn off while driving on a highway and I lose all control off the vehicle steering, brakes and accelerating. When I the vehicle turned off today I was stopped at a red light and the car started to stutter and then it just turned off when the green light turned on. I was unable to take a picture today and I was in traffic and it is illegal to drive and use a phone. I have multiple picture from the past but was only able to upload one.

P60 recall: yesterday, my husband was driving our 2013 Dodge Charger when the battery like came on. Nothing else happened then, but about 15 seconds later - - everything on the dash started flashing, the windshield wipers came on, the car started to jerk and then everything died. He managed to coast into our driveway - luckily was headed home from work and only doing 20mph. No warning - no nothing. Just all of a sudden - entire system failure. No power steering or anything. Kind of a electrical smell in the car. At first, we thought that maybe the battery was loose or something or bad ground. Checked that. Tried jumping - terminals started smoking. Did a search and found out that our VIN is showing an unrepaired p60 recall. Called the dealership this morning - now being told that it may be the p60 recall, but we can't know until we get it to the dealership - who - coincidentally has no appointments available for a week, does not provide loaner cars (or free rental), and may or may not cover the towing. I then contacted Dodge and was told that it could be the recall, but they do not provide rentals or loaners. What? so - - they know that this is an issue in 1/2 a million vehicles, but they accept no responsibility for it other than to switch the part out? very poor customer service on Dodge's part and I will be pursuing this further, once we have confirmed that the part number on the alternator is the correct part number for the recall. I am not waiting to get it up there for them to mysteriously lose the part or even better - pretend that it isn't the right part number. I am feeling very untrusting of Dodge right now!.

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.

Car won't start sometimes. The lights on the dash will be on when I get to my car but wont recognize my key. The lights will blink on and the wipers will come on then stall. I have to get a jump constantly. The battery is new so it isn't that. I had the car tested at auto zone and it read fine. I was advised to get the fuses checked. When I took it to a mechanic he said it was the alternator. The car is always is always in stationary when it does this. Luckily I haven't had any problems while on the road yet. The radio stopped working also a few months before this problem. It would glitch on and off. The screen will still do this but the sound isn't working at all.

I was driving my vehicle straight down a city street at 36 miles per hour through an intersection light and my car began to shake really hard and the car began to drop speed on its own, I went to press the gas to acelerate and the egine light began to flash and the air conditioner started blowing really hot air and I lost all power to the vehicle. I tried to push the gas to turn off the busy street but I had no power so I had to pretty much coast to the nearest place to get out of traffice. Once I pulled over into a parking lot the car started to have a smell as if something was burning underneath the hood, at that point I put the car in park and pushed the off button, I sat a few minutes then tried to restart the car but it would not start and kept making a noise so I turned the car off got out and got my toddler out of the backseat and called my husband, he arrived about 10 minutes later and tried jump starting the car but it would not start and was making a weird noise when pushing the start button, at this point I figured the car stopped due to the alternator recall that was issued so I called my insurance company and had the vehicle towed to my local Dodge dealership where I had a diagnostic done on the vehicle and was told my engine is completely burned up due to lack of oil which is not true becuase I checked the oil dipstick 2 days after it had been sitting at the Dodge dealership and there was oil in the car and no oil leaks, I just had an oil change in March of this year (2018) so I believe my engine was burned up completely due to the alternator and a circut shortage cased the car to over heat and burn the engine, I need this to be investgated to see if this is secondary to the recall so that I can see if im responsible for the damages or not because now I need an entire new engine which is over $8,000 in costs.

My vehicle is giving a message that says �battery saver mode. � the battery in the vehicle is in perfect condition, the alternator has been replaced and I am still getting this message. According to blogs many people have had this problem. I have been informed that the car is at risk of spontaneously cutting off while in battery saver mode. This is a safety issue that needs to be looked into. It may be a sensor issue idk and my local Dodge is also unsure.

2013 Dodge Charger. Consumer writes in regards to alternator safety recall.

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.

I own a 2014 Dodge Charger se and had a faulty alternator. It appears that this is not an isolated issue with my vehicle. Per NHTSA's recall t36 and t75 some alternators were recalled for this vehicle. I believe the recall should have included my vehicles alternator. Before may 27th, 2018, our alternator failed. The car would not start, at the time we were not sure if it was the alternator. I had a local auto store test the alternator and it passed. So, we purchased a new battery. We believed that resolved this issue. After a month, the issue happened again. It appears the alternator was not charging the battery correctly. The issue was hit or miss luckily, we did not have an issue while driving the car. This car is not an everyday vehicle so it could go a couple of weeks without being driven. To alleviate the issue, I replaced the alternator on September 15th 2018. Since that time everything has been working correctly. Attached are a photo of the oem alternator, the aftermarket alternator, and receipt. I believe Dodge Chrysler should extend their current recalls to include the denso 42100 � 0750 alternator. On may 27th, 2018 our alternator failed. At the time we wer.

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.
