Description of the problem | I was driving my vehicle and was waiting to make a left turn at the intersection. My battery appeared to be losing power and i lost my power steering. I believe the alternator went bad which led to the battery dying while driving, causing me to lose power. This was dangerous as i could have lost power and may have caused an accident. I will be taking it to a mechanic to get the alternator replaced. I see dodge has some recalls on alternators but not sure if it applies to my vehicle |
