 Description of the problemI had he exact same alternator failure as described by the dodge charger p60 recall. I was on the highway going about 60mph when my radio and front panel flickered, then cut off for a few seconds before coming back on. My traction control and abs lights stayed on. About a minute later, i lost power and my car completely stalled. I was able to drift to the center lane before coming to a complete stop. This was frightening because it was dark outside, it's a poorly lit road and of course i had no electricity to turn on my hazard lights. With no way to pop the trunk, i had to crawl into it via the back seat to grab flares (luckily i had some-most people don't). I was almost struck by several cars during this time. Alas, the tow truck came and i was taken to a safe location. The average quote from mechanics in the dc area is about $800. The dealership wants $970. The 180amp alternator should be recalled just as the 160amp alternator. Its defective and its a safety risk.

  • 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?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

    Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
