Description of the problem	As i was entering an expressway on ramp when jeep slowed down, wipers came on, turn signals started flashing erratically. It slowed to crawl as i had to inch my way to the side of the road and i could not fully get out of road. A utility truck stopped and placed cones around my car to keep it from being hit until tow truck arrived. I since learned that most of the 2012 alternators were recalled but not the 180 amp alternators but it appears it is the exact same problem and i have learned from my mechanic and other websites that many other 2012 jeep grand cherokee's with 180 amp alternators are having same issue as the ones equipped with the 160 amp alternators. The alternator, battery and computer controlling alternator all had to be replaced at a cost of $2,000. The dealer wanted $3,000.
