Alternator/generator/regulator problems of the 2011 Jeep Liberty

The alternator on the vehicle went which affected the battery and the computer system, car nearly caught on fire. The repair person said this should have been listed as a recall because a certain fuse could have avoided the problem. The computer is on back order, going on 3 weeks and this appears to be a ongoing problem with these vehicles.

Blower motor failed may 2012. The car was so new that the dealership had to order the part. It was replaced and the heat works but there are a couple weird noises. One, it sounds like it is taxing my alternator like you would normally hear if there was an amplifier installed in the car. And two, on the dash/feet low setting it sounds like there is paper blowing in the wind and heat does not actually come out on the driver side feet until the car is completely warmed up. The dealership kindly replaced a door run channel, no charge, which eliminated some noise and a slight draft coming from the door. The rest of the overall noise was yet to be determined at this point.
