Description of the problem | Driving down a city street at night alternator stops working. Everything electrical shuts off - able to roll mostly into a turning lane in the middle of the street before it stopped. Everything electrical turns off - no lights -other drivers cannot see the car. Left in a very vulnerable unsafe position - i could have been seriously injured. Unable to shift into neutral to push out of road. Left in a very unsafe position. Called tow truck who was able to get there before anything bad happened. Learned of the recall over the internet - i was never notified of a recall. If i had know there was a recall, i would have repaired the car - i never would have driver this car if i had known. Dodge does not have a "fix" in place so i must repair the car on my own and wait until they get it figured out over at dodge. |
