Description of the problem	I was driving my car on 7/19/2014 as normal and i noticed several drivers from other cars pointing at my hood. There were no dash indicator lights on . I pulled over and the car powered down and smoke started billowing through the vents and from under the hood. I released the hood and noticed the alternator smoking heavily and melting, i thought it was about to catch fire. I had the car towed to the dealership and was told 4 days later the alternator had to be replaced, not covered under warranty; due to it being considered an accessory; would cost 723. 00 to repair. Being that the car only has 44,000 miles on it, i was very disturbed. My car was ready in about 4 days which i went ahead and paid for repairs as i need the car for transportation and even after i saw the countless reports of similar incidents on the internet and was appalled this part had not been recalled. I figured most cars have to have at least one major repair so i'm good for awhile. Wrong! The same week the car got out of the shop, i started hearing a clicking under the gear shift and the abs, esp and traction came on the dash. I contacted the dealership to make an appointment to bring it in but it isn't until a week later. I was told as long as the light doesn't steadily remain on, i should be fine until my appointment driving it. Today i was riding along on a highway and the car begin to lose power not allowing me to accelerate or steer, now the malfunction light is on. Dodge really needs to consider recalling this model as problems start to occur at 40,000 miles from what i have read and can cause serious safety issues because it stalls with the indicator lights following leaving consumers with the inability to steer or get out of the dangers of incoming traffic.
