Description of the problem | While driving on highway there was a whining noise coming from the engine. Then dashboard lights started turning on an off randomly, the touchscreen went out. Less than a minute later the entire electrical system shut down and the car completely stopped working. Traveling 45 mph on a busy highway when this happened. Steered the car to the shoulder. There was a burning smell and smoke coming from the engine. Under the hood, it looked like the alternator and/or battery were smoking. Had the car towed to the dealer. I found that there is a recall on 2011 dodge durango for a faulty alternator but my dealer told me that my vin is not part of the current recall. |
