 Description of the problemI was driving on the highway when the abs and traction control indicator came on. I also noticed a burning smell so i turned off the ac and noticed the radio power was off so i tried powering it back on but to no avail. The smell continued and the vehicle seemed to slow down and the speedometer hand began to go crazy flipping back and forth so i pulled over to the nearest exit and turned the vehicle off. I attempted to restart and nothing happened. The tow truck guy arrived and tried to boost it and it began to smoke. It still had no power. I'm highly disappointed considering i purchased the vehicle brand new. I thought by purchasing the model with hemi i was getting a better quality vehicle. Apparently not. Would never expect to be broke down on the side on the road in such fairly new vehicle. Also had to have the radiator replaced like a year prior. Then the passenger headlight also has some type of shortage which the dealer couldn't detect what the problem is and the bottom fog lamps no longer work. Seems to be several wiring issues on the front end. Dealer diagnosed my vehicle and i now need a new alternator, starter, and battery which will cost me $1300. Sucks because there is a recall for alternator but for now it only applies to the vehicles with 3. 6l motor. Wanted to trade my vehicle for the new dodge but now i've changed my mind!

  • 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.
