Alternator/generator/regulator problems of the 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan

2c4rdgcg8gr363465 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan with >28,000 original miles. VIN # 2c4rdgcg8gr363465 1st � a few weeks ago the original key fob began not always unlocking the doors or starting the car. I had a new battery put in key fob but the problems continued. I had aaa test my car battery and it was good. 2nd - cluster lights began randomly flashing and dinging a few weeks ago after the key fob problems began. This last week or two the digital speedometer also began spinning upward and downward at a high rate of speed, randomly. These problems have progressively worsened becoming more frequent and with more systems flashing. One red light has even appeared under the green letter n, for neutral. No name and no symbol, just a red light. On Wednesday the 21st, I had my battery tested again and the alternator tested at auto zone and o�reilly�s, both said they are good. I had the original fob plus another new fob programmed to the car on Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2019 at courtesy Dodge in mesa, az. The next day, Thursday, 1 fob started the car and took us to walmart without incident. However, the fob would not open any door nor start the vehicle when we were ready to leave the store. Finally called my son-in-law and he brought the other fob. Neither fob would do anything for quite awhile, then finally 1 worked. I'm quadriplegic so having an unreliable vehicle and being stranded away from home in 114 degree heat is extremely dangerous. On Friday we took the Dodge to auto zone, they again said my car battery was fine. On Saturday the 24th napa and auto zone checked for codes on the Dodge. Came up with u110a. Today, Sunday, Aug 25, 2019 neither fob worked again.

Az - 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan r/t, approx 63,500 mi. 2 weeks ago I went to start the vehicle and it wouldn't start. I assumed it was the battery because its a fairly new vehicle. I gave it a jump and the vehicle started. I set the time as it had reset to 12:00am but radio stations were still programmed. I went on a 3hr drive back home with no issues and figured the battery was charged by the time I got home. Before I went inside for the night, I attempted to start vehicle up and it started with no issues. The next morning I went to start the vehicle and it would not start on the first or second attempt. I noticed the display on the dash would alternate from "run" to "off" each time I would try to start it. The third try the vehicle started for a good 3-5 seconds then died. The next attempt the vehicle started. I had the same issues after work and each time I would think it was the battery because the car would try to turn over and dash would alternate start to off and the clock on the radio would reset to 12:00 am. This has been going on for 2 weeks now, I reached the point of replacing the alternator. I also had the new alternator and battery tested, both tested good. What kept leading me to a bad alternator/battery was the fact that the clock would reset and the first few attempts to start the vehicle would not work. My thinking started to change as the days passed. I thought that had it been a battery or charging issue the battery would have been dead by now. Today I went through the same routine, tried twice to start, then it would start then stall, of course the last try it would stay on. Same thing in the evening, after work, but this time while driving the vehicle stalled out while driving in traffic at 45mph. No warnings or check engine light, I pulled over, vehicle started right up. A search of the symptoms lead me to tipm issues earlier models were having.
