THE CAR RANDOMLY LOSES POWER ALONG WITH THE POWER STEERING AND CUTS OFF. I COULD BE DRIVING FOR 30 MINS AND IT'LL BE JUST FINE THEN OUT OF NO WHERE IT MAY CUT OFF AT STOP LIGHT, WHILE I'M DECELERATING OR EVEN TRYING TO GAS UP. IT HAS CUT OFF NUMEROUS TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR LIGHT AND I'LL ONLY KNOW BY THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING OR NOTICING THE RPM GAUGE DROPPING TO 0. SOMETIMES IT'LL START UP JUST FINE RIGHT AFTERWARDS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED AND SOMETIMES IT'LL TAKE A MINUTE OR TWO TO START UP. IT MAY START A RIGHT BACK UP THEN CUT RIGHT BACK OFF OR IT MAY START UP AND BE FINE UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. SOMETIMES IT ONLY STARTS BACK UP WHEN I DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL FOR A FEW SECONDS. *TR

ON 1/12/2020 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK I TURNED ON MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL TO MERGE AND IT RAPIDLY CLICKED AND FLASHED ON THE DASH AFTER THE INITIAL 3 NORMAL FLASHES AND I NOTICED THE CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME WASN'T ACKNOWLEDGING MY TURN SIGNAL. ONCE HOME AN HOUR LATER, I REALIZED MY PASSENGER REAR TAIL LIGHT WAS STEADILY LIGHT (NOT FLASHING) EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS OFF AND MY LIGHTS WERE NOT ENGAGED AND POSITION OFF. I COULD NOT GET MY TURN SIGNAL/TAIL LIGHT TO TURN OFF. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORK FINE WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED BUT THE TAIL LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE REAR SIGNAL WON'T WORK EITHER SINCE THE LIGHT WON'T TURN OFF TO FLASH. I HAD TO REMOVE THE LIGHT FROM THE REAR FENDER AND UNPLUG THE LIGHT SO MY CAR WON'T DIE AND PLUG IT BACK IN WHEN I GO TO DRIVE SO I ATLEAST HAVE THE TAIL AND BRAKE LIGHT ON WHILE DRIVING. I CAN FIND NO INFO ON HOW TO FIX THIS AND CHRYSLER WASN'T ANY HELP. THE PROBLEM IS STILL UNRESOLVED, BUT IT DID GO OFF FOR JUST ONE MOMENT, FLICKERED AND CAME BACK ON WHEN I PLUGGED IT BACK IN THE LAST TIME I DROVE.

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2012 FROM CHRYALER DODGE AND JEEP IN SPRINGFIELD PA. I BABE AROUND 96,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND THIS WILL NOW BE THE THIRD ALTERNATOR THAT HAS BEEN PUT IN MY VEHICLE. FROM WHAT I KNOW, THE ALTERNATOR SHOULD LAST UP BETWEEN 80,000 TO 100,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THERE HAS TO HAVE BEEN A DEFECT WITH MY SPECIFIC CAR. ALONG WITH SOME OF THE OTHER RECALL ITEMS I AM NOW READING ABOUT WITH MY MODEL, HAVING KIDS, I AM INCREASINGLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY HEALTH AND SAFTEY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS ON YOUR END

NHTSA ODI 11185476

I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND MY CAR DIED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I HAD OIL IN THE INJECTORS. THEY CLEANED IT UP AND SENT ME ON MY WAY FOR $715. NOT EVEN A MONTH LATER I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND NOW SOMETIMES IT'S NOT STARTING. SO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP CHANGED THE BATTERY AND STARTER, AFTER THE WORK THEY RUN SOME TESTS AND SAY THAT I HAVE A BAD TIPM TO BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I BRING IT BACK TO THEM AND THEY WANT AROUND $1800 NOW FOR THIS REPAIR. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND SPOKE WITH THEM ABOUT THIS AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP IN ANY WAY WITH THIS SITUATION EVEN THOUGH WE ARE LOYAL DODGE FAMILY CUSTOMERS(ON OUR 5TH VEHICLE). THE REVIEWS ONLINE SHOW MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY EXPERIENCE HAVING YOUR CAR DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EXPRESSWAY WITH NO POWER STEERING. I DEFINITELY THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PART TO SAVE THE LIVES OF OTHERS ON THE ROADWAYS. THANKS IN ADVANCE
