Description of the problem | I own a 2014 dodge charger se and had a faulty alternator. It appears that this is not an isolated issue with my vehicle. Per nhtsa's recall t36 and t75 some alternators were recalled for this vehicle. I believe the recall should have included my vehicles alternator. Before may 27th, 2018, our alternator failed. The car would not start, at the time we were not sure if it was the alternator. I had a local auto store test the alternator and it passed. So, we purchased a new battery. We believed that resolved this issue. After a month, the issue happened again. It appears the alternator was not charging the battery correctly. The issue was hit or miss luckily, we did not have an issue while driving the car. This car is not an everyday vehicle so it could go a couple of weeks without being driven. To alleviate the issue, i replaced the alternator on september 15th 2018. Since that time everything has been working correctly. Attached are a photo of the oem alternator, the aftermarket alternator, and receipt. I believe dodge chrysler should extend their current recalls to include the denso 42100 |
