Description of the problem	Tracktion light came on(little car with tire tracks) then dead, won't hold a charge. Excact same thing is happing to thousands. Alternator replaced @ dodge/$1,000. There's a recall, (p60) 2011-2014/dodge challenger's the alternater 160 amp is defective! So why did i have to pay???? Because (they) are only replacing them on 3. 6 l engines not 5. 7 l like mine! So i guess it's only defective when u have a smaller engine? I paid more$ for my engine so i guess they think a defective alternator is going to some how work? Well it dosnt! My question is did they put the new and improved alternator on mine? Or do i just have to pray this one dosnt go out again, on the freeway again and cause a huge accident! Ever been coming down the grapevine at 70 mph and your car goes dead? No steering no brakes, it's like an e ticket ride at disneyland😳so if u buy a challenger make sure u get 3. 6l because they replace the defective alternator for free! If you don't cause an accident first! No one seems to b worried about this, but if u own a challenger be careful....... I can't really answer the questions on form, they are yes and no,,,,,,,,, this whole thing is very grey.
