Description of the problem	Car started normally however, once i began driving, a number of diagnostics errors were displayed on the screen. I started to smell as though something was burning so i returned home. A few minutes after that, the entire car went dead. No power at all. I could not even lock the door. I see that there was a recall p60 / nhtsa 14v-634 related to the alternator and the description of events that could occur with that, was pretty close to what i experienced this morning. However, when i researched this with fca, i was told that my vin was not a part of that recall. So now, i am thinking that i may have this defective equipment in my vehicle. I have to have the car towed to a local dealership for a diagnostic review but over the phone, the service rep believed that it sounds like an alternator/battery issue. I have also read numerous complaints from other jeep owners about similar problems. I want to be covered in case this turns out to be an issue where my vehicle should have been included in the alternator recall but was not. I was lucky that the failure occurred before i got away from my home and on the freeway.
