2014 Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1355042
Internal NHTSA #	10953654

Brand	JEEP

Model Year	2014
File date	08/02/17
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The alternator started smoking after driving it 1/4 mile and then stopping. Alternator was smoking while the vehicle was in motion. Alternator continued to smoke after the vehicle stopped. The alternator turned a cloudy black because of the smoke and the car suddenly did not work. Vehicle was towed (for free) to raf's auto repair in kapolei, hi and fixed. The mechanic said that the error code for the jeep stated that the alternator suddenly failed for unknown reasons. Most likely a faulty alternator. The grand total to fix this issue was $863. I called chrysler to see if my vehicle had a faulty alternator recall. It did not. So i could not get it fixed by chrysler. I gather from the 10 recalls on my vehicles year make and model group, that this alternator was a factory default and i should not be paying for it. This issue should be taken into consideration by chrysler company and i believe that chrysler should pay for this repair bill.
