Description of the problem | While driving home from work, in my 2012 dodge charger rt. The dash lights all started to flash and a message code "battery save mode" was given. Just a few minutes later the car stalled out and the front wheels vibrated feeling like the wheels locked up. The car veered off the the right side of the road. I placed the car in park and attempted to restart the car which it started. All the dash warning lights remained illuminated. I placed the car in drive and slowly pulled back onto the road. The car drove normal the next 1/2 mile to my house, except for the warning lights and battery save mode message. The next day i took the car to the dealership where they found the alternator at fault. |
