Description of the problem | Battery saver mode appeared on my dash. Wasn't sure what it meant so i told my husband to take the car to get a diagnostic test done. He went to auto zone to get it check and upon getting this done he stated "the car is going crazy" every light imaginable was appearing. The windows wouldn't go down, the radio stop playing, the steering wheel wouldn't move. In so many words the car just died.... I had to get my car towed to a service center once there i had to purchase a battery because they said the battery was dead. Once the battery was installed the car started again, but they couldn't test my car because there system wasn't up to date. So i was able to drive my car home. While driving home the battery saver mode light appeared again then the battery light appeared. I called the dodge dealership near me and spoke to someone in the service department who told me that light indicates a bad alternator and that i will need to replace mine and being that my warranty has expired i will have to pay out of pocket and of course it is pricey. |
