| Description of the problem | Although a recall on the 160 amp alternator my 180 amp alternator failed exactly like the 160 - smoke and left me in traffic, failed while driving in houston traffic. There are hundreds of cases with the 180 online but fca will not do anything unless you say so. So for now $1995 out of my pocket. Http://m. Carcomplaints. Com/jeep/grand_cherokee/2012/engine/engine.
