This car is a danger to everyone. It randomly cuts off shutout warning. I took it to a mechanic shop and they advised there was a recall that causes the car to stall out and I needed to take it to the dealership to have the work done. I took it to the dealership who said they completed the work and we left. Less than a week later the car is still randomly cutting off. It cuts off without warning while driving or at complete stop. It almost caused me to have an accident because the car stall and locked up so I couldn't turn to avoid hitting anything. Thankfully the car was able to a low to a stop before hitting q curb and going into a ditch. After the car stalls ibhve to out the car in park, turn the key off and crank the car back up and it starts to drive. The problem is ibhave no clue when its going to don't again and no one can tell me why the issue is happening. It has happened at least 7 times since getting the recall work completed less than a month ago. It happens both while driving and stationary. It happens while driving straight or turning. So far I have been lucky enough for it not to happen on the highway as I'm scared to drive in the highway because I would probably due due to an accident if this happens at a high rate of speed in a highway. The latest incident happened today 5/3/2021.
My wife was driving her 2012 Durango and the battery light came on and blind spot warning was going off. The engine started making a loud noise. She was 2 miles from home, so I told her to drive home and take my truck. When I got home I investigated the issue. Within 1 minute of me idling the engine to listen for where noise the alternator started smoking and internal were glowing red.
