Alternator/generator/regulator Problems of Mitsubishi Outlander

Between April and may 2014 this 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander has been having difficulty in starting, at one point it would not strt at all. Some belts (I don't know which) squeak every so often. On 03 July 2014 the dealer where the vehicle was purchased and has since been receiving it's scheduled maintenance, indicated that the alternator has to be replaced and that they had none in stock. I was told to call back in a week. I have called every week since then and I am always told it is in back order, that there are many of the same vehicles waiting for this part. Seems to me that this is indictive of a problem. It has been 55 days since they finally diagnosed the problem and cannot keep a alternator for my vehicle in stock long enough to replace the faulty one in my vehicle.

First, only a few weeks after purchasing this vehicle new, the fuse blew on the aux / cig lighter. Approx. One year after purchase, I had to take it in, because all the lights and gauges would start flashing and the radio would go off. The vehicle continued running, but it was scary. Additionally, the door sometimes would not open from the outside with the fob. The dealer corrected this problem. Since then, starting in June of 2013, or earlier, while driving at night, the lights frequently dim and get brighter, especially if the a/c is on. I also had to replace my battery in November, 2013; it was less than 3 yrs old. They told me then (back in November) they were ordering a new alternator for me (covered under warranty). It is now the end of March and when I called my local Mitsubishi dealer again, and they told me there is a 1,000 unit back order on the alternators on these vehicles, and the new, I am guessing redesigned unit, would not be out until the beginning of may. My electrical problems are getting worse. . . Now when I plug in my iphone via the aux / cig lighter, sometime it won't charge, other times, it blows the plug and sometimes the usb cord. I frequently have to buy new chargers because they keep blowing! help! I’m sure there are others having this problem. There should really be recall on this vehicle! thank you. D.
