Description of the problem	Reference: t36 recall incident: on 22 august 2017 my vehicle shut down during operation, the ac began pushing warm air, and the electrical system experienced a complete failure. The alternator was smoking, and i called a tow truck to bring my vehicle to my resident dealer (ourisman dodge of alxandria, va). The dealer requested $1100 for repairs, and i took the opportunity to conduct research, where i learned of the pending t36 recall, and other customer complaints. Customer service 1: i contacted chrysler customer service on 23 august, and informed them of the pending t36 recall. They described that they had no awareness of such a recall. I called again on 24 august at 1:00 am est when i realized my vin now reflected the t36 recall. The customer service representative informed me that i would incur no costs, and provided me with a reference number is case there were any issues (32257716). Customer service 2: i was informed on the morning of 24 august by the dealer that i would have to pay the repair costs because the t36 recall parts were not manufactured, and were not expected to arrive until october. I called customer service, and was told i would have to pay the repair costs for a faulty alternator, would have to request a reimbursement, and would then need to wait for the recall. When i insisted on an explanation, i was eventually told that dodge wanted to reserve the right to refuse a reimbursement. When i clarified, and explained she was describing a loophole, she confirmed. She refused to let me talk to her supervisor, to provide a summary of the discussion like the previous service rep had, and made many other false claims as to her ability to document the matter. Clearly, most alarming, is dodge/chrysler's admittance that they are trying to avoid reimbursement fees. Please contact me for additional information into the experience.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
