| Description of the problem | 2014 jeep rubicon. Very well taken care of. Less that 19,000 miles. 7/10/18, jeep ran fine in morning and afternoon. Tried to start after work (4:15 pm) and would not turn over. Jump start battery and drove to dealership. Nothing on dash was working while driving. Speedometer needle bouncing. While driving all lights were on and flickering. Even headlights. Vehicle felt as though it was surging. Was told there was a recall on the alternator for the 2014 jeep but not the wranglers. Again, less that 19,000 miles. Diagnostic result was alternator went bad and burned up battery. Both being replaced at performance dealership in lavista, ne 68128. I cant understand how an alternator goes bad on a jeep with less than 19,000 mile. The jeep is outside of warranty and we are covering all cost. Should wranglers have been included in the 2014 alternator recall? |
