Description of the problem	I have 39,000 miles on my v-8 hemi 5. 7. The car began making a whining noise in november 2015. Dealer found nothing. Headlights would dim and windows became sluggish to roll up/down. January 30, 2016 it wouldn't start. Thank god it was parked at the time because everything went dead and immobile. I told the dealer to check the alternator (i'm not a mechanic) and they found the alternator was bad. I've been told there is a weak "clutch" plate or pulley in these alternators and some are beefing this area up on the rebuilts but still only guarantee them for 3 years. The v-6 has a recall on the exact same alternator and i feel the v-8 for this year should be included. With labor the dealer wanted 590. 32 to repair as it wasn't included under my extended warranty with moss bros. Unreal! How can you recall an exact same part for one and not the other?
