2012 Dodge CHALLENGER Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	I was driving along the road and approached a set of lights to make a left turn. While making the left turn, my abs brake light and traction light started flickering, the interior instrument lights turned off, my sunroof and windows secured itself, my nav system shut off and the vehicle appeared to be failing. After pulling into a gas station and parking the vehicle, i shut the vehicle off and after a few seconds, turn the ignition on. The vehicle would not start up so towed it to the dealership. After the dealership completed some diagnostic testing, they advised me that my alternator was defective as well as my battery and both would require replacement. My vehicle has approximately 75,000kms and it is very difficult for me to understand that a 2 year old vehicle requires a replacement alternator and battery with very little mileage. Most batteries on the market typically have 3 to 5 year warranties and most alternators usually require replacement at 130,000 to 160,000kms. The repair cost $1,125 (cad). I am deeply disappointed with the quality of the components with my chrysler as well as trifling issues i? Ve had with my dodge challenger. I would be very reluctant to purchase another chrysler/dodge vehicle ever again. *js
