Model Year	2012
File date	24/01/19

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Red indicator light looking like a battery came on about 3 miles from destination. Within another mile, other warning lights began to come on. Wipers came on (yes, they came on, not off). Then navigation screen went blank. Next car lost all power while driving. Suddenly lost steering, brakes, etc. Even emergency flashers would not activate. Smelled like something was burning. Nearby repair shop stated the alternator had burned-up and killed the battery. Repair shop replaced alternator and battery, but warning light came on again with smell of something once again burning within 2 miles of repair shop. Returned vehicle to repair shop, but they are not capable of fixing some type of computer module. This vehicle had a safety recall (number t36). I received at least 2 notices from jeep (fca), but in each case was told parts were not available to resolve this safety recall (alternator diode thermal fatigue) [t36/nhtsa 17v-435]. I also brought the vehicle to jeff wyler jeep chrysler (southgate, ky) where i purchased the vehicle and they said parts were not available to resolve the problem. I was told they would notify me when parts become available, but never received any notification. Now, the car suddenly lost all power while driving as described above. Had this happened at night, on the highway, someone could easily have been killed. In summary, when vehicle came to a complete stop, without power, it was on a city street, and i was making a turn onto a smaller street with the hope of getting out of traffic.
