Description of the problem | I was driving at approximately 40 mph and had to slow down for traffic. As i did, many of the dash lights came on include electronic stability and brake. They went on and off as a i slowed and then speeded up so that i could pull of the road. As i tried to pull off the car just died and i lost steering control. I coasted into a side parking lot and couldn't go any further. Towed to dealership and was told it's the alternator. So there is a recall on the alternator coming in three weeks. But in the meantime i have to shell out $1,200 for an alternator and new battery and hope that chrysler fixes this [xxx] up and decides to bother issuing me a refund. And then once the recall - that everyone has known is coming for two months - finally does come out, i have to have the [xxx] thing replaced again. And hope that in the meantime, chrysler actually figures out how to fix the problem - which it says it doesn't currently know how to do.
