| Description of the problem | My jeep as the t36 alternator recall. My vehicle recently was affected by this recall and it's extremely dangerous. My enter vehicle powered off and that left me with no power steering or much control of the vehicle while traveling down the road.. When i was able to get to a safe location i found my alternator smoking heavy and my car was completely dead. I took the jeep to the dealership and the only current fix is to replace the alternator with the same faulty design that failed in the first place. This is extremely dangerous if this would have failed at a higher rate of speed or in any daily driving situation. I cannot believe chrysler is getting away with this. |
