“We received notice of the recall on the alternator several months ago and have contacted the dealership multiple times. Each time the dealership states that the do not have the needed part in stock and that they will return our call. We have never received a return call. The vehicle has completely stopped working electronically on the highway going approximately 60 MPH twice. Thank you.”

“My son lost power while driving, lights and stereo went crazy. Car shut down and lights and stereo still going when tow truck arrived to tow to house 40 minutes later. Had to disconnect battery terminal to shut everything down. Fortunately my son was not hurt or any one else.”

NHTSA complaint #11002679, filed 2017-07, 58,000 miles

“This morning while I was driving down a curvy dark country road at about 60 miles per hour, the car just shut off, all power was lost. Lights and everything. Lost power steering, power brakes, all lighting. We were very lucky we did not crash, but this issue is very dangerous. I believe that this vehicle should be included in the following recall as it describes specifically what happened to my vehicle. P60/NHTSA 14v-634”

“My 2014 Dodge Challenger dies when I'm driving it. The most recent was when I was driving downhill on a winding mountain road. It died, and there was no place to get off the road. When it dies, the lights, power steering and power brakes all quit. Very dangerous!!! The dealer could find nothing wrong. There are many complaints about this on the internet, and Dodge is doing nothing to fix this. Like me, others have taken their cars to dealers, and they find nothing wrong. Something is very wrong! …”

“The window has smart glass. There is a sensor in the door which allows the window to automatically slide up or down about 1\4 of an inch so the door closes completely. About 4 days ago the window began sliding up and down on its own after turning the car off. I thought maybe it was acting up due to an old battery so I bought a new one but the window still slides up and down on its own constantly but only when the car is off. I have to leave the window rolled down a few inches to make it stop. …”
