Description of the problem	On friday, august 26th 2016, i was driving to richmond, va from newport news, va when my battery warning light came on. I pulled over, turned the vehicle off, sat for a few minutes and restarted the vehicle. The light did not come back on. I decided to make a stop in williamsburg to the outlet stores and the battery warning light came on again. While turning into the stores' parking lot, all warning lights and electrical system started flashing. Right before parking the vehicle completely shut down/off. The vehicle smelled like something was burning, but no obvious fire. The outlets security came over and hooked up a jump box to the battery. He stated the battery appears low. He tried to jump the battery with the jump box, but it would not start. He tried with his security vehicle and my vehicle and the connections started smoking. After approximately 3 hours, waited on a friend to arrive, called triple a and the representative connected his jump box to my vehicle battery. The vehicle started but as soon as the jump box removed, the vehicle would die back down. The triple a representative and myself determined that the alternator is bad and drained the battery. Had the vehicle towed to pomoco dodge dealership in newport news, va. Researched information and there is a recall named p60 for 2011 dodge durango's with a 3. 6l engine and a 160 amp alternator. My vehicle is a 2011 dodge durango with a 3. 6l engine and a 220 amp alternator. Contacted chrysler dodge and they stated that my vin doesn't quaility, but they will log my information. After conducting more research, this issue has many complaints on all 2011 dodge durango's no matter the alternator amp (160, 180, 220). The recall should be expanded to cover all the 2011 dodge durangos as it is very common, very dangerous, and definitely a safety hazard. Could have happened while on the interstated w/ my daughters
