Description of the problem	In november of 2014 i received a letter indicating that my vehicle has been recalled due to issues with the alternator. The recall stated that the abs, esc,emc, and cbc systems could/would experience issues due to the failing alternator. Recently, my vehicle's indicator lights appeared showing that i was experiencing failures to a few of those systems. The dealership was closed at the time, so i immediately called the dodge 24 hour hotline to inquire about the status of the recalled parts. On that day, i was told that only a temporary fix could be offered because the parts will not be available for months. A few days later, i was issued a letter stating that the dealership will be able to fix my recalled alternator. I set up an appointment immediately and called dodge headquarters to verify that this is a permanent fix. At that time i was again told that the fix is only temporary. When i went to the dealership i was told that i was receiving a permanent fix. Overall, i am unsure if my vehicle has been temporarily fixed or if i've received a permanent fix. In addition, the dealership takes no responsibility in assisting to fix the systems that failed as a result of the recalled alternator. I was told that i would have to pay $75 just for them to inspect the rest of the vehicle and then pay out of pocket for the systems that were affected by the recall. I find that to be absolutely ridiculous. There is a direct link and the dealership/dodge should take responsibility for any issues with the abs, esc, emc, and/or cbc systems. I am disheartened by this horrible interaction with dodge and the company's defiance in fixing all issues that are directly linked to their mistake. All in all, i have no clue if my car has been properly fixed because i've gotten an influx of different information and i am being held responsible to pay for dodge's mistake.

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?
