My alternator failed while I was driving on the highway, luckily I was in the very right lane and was able to pull over to the side of the road. Had I been in any other lanes it could have resulted in a very serious accident! all of my electronics and power steering shut off while the vehicle was moving. I am very disappointed that Dodge will not pay for the replacement of my alternator because my warranty has expired and my VIN# does not match certain specifics within this recall, even though my car was built between those dates recall number : 14v634000 recall date : 10/08/2014 component electrical system:alternator/generator/regulator summary Chrysler group llc (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 Chrysler 300, Dodge charger, challenger, and Durango; and 2012-2014 Jeep grand cherokee vehicles manufactured April 22, 2010, to January 2, 2014, and equipped with a 3. 6l engine and a 160 amp alternator.

I am the first and only owner of a Dodge Durango 2013: on Dec 25th I was left stranded with my car, windows open and unable to move it anywhere. It literally died and had to leave it along the roadside since I was with my 4 small children. I was driving, and the car started with a weird noise, then smoke started coming out, the all the ligths on the dashboard started to flash, the temperature was always informed as normal, then the windshield wippers started to work on its own and then the car literally died. There was no possibility of ignition nor nothing. The car had to be towed away by a special truck since it had to pick up the car and place it on the truck, since there was no possibility to have ignition. The most strange thing is that on December 12, the car was out of the doge workshop for the 40,000 km revision with no problem. So far I have been informed that the central computer of the car died, the battery was burned and the alternator died. . . . . . . . . . . . All this information is provided by the garage where my car is at. Is this a problem that I have to pay for or is it a problem that the company will pay for everything? please advice me on how to proceed.

Received notice in mail November 2014. Still do not have parts to fix. I am driving an unsafe car everyday and paying for it and nobody can do anything about it until I experience a crash. I can get a ticket for not wearing a seat belt and talking on a cell phone, but a safety recall on a car I am driving everyday, which effects me, my passengers and all cars on the road does not seem to matter to Chrysler.
