Description of the problem | While on the highway i a check battery light appeared on my dash, i planned on checking into it at the upcoming gas station which was about 3 miles away, as i approached the offramp to the gas station all kinds of check engine lights and abs and you name it started showing in my dash followed by the wipers and next thing you know the car dies out. Lucky for me there was no vehicle in front of me because i could not steer or brake because it was very hard or locked, i managed to pull over just before the gas station and sensed the smell of burned wire, i noticed i was not completely off the road so i tried putting vehicle in neutral but it was locked in park, also my key was stuck in the ignition. Local mechanic changed the battery first and still had the check battery light on so he reccomended a new alternator as well which i bought immediately, 900. 00 later here i sit with new alternator and baterry but still the same problem with vehicle stalling and check battery light on. Dealer says my vehicle is not in the p60 recall even though i have/had the same 160 amp alternator as the recalled vehicles. This is a serious issue which can become deadly if not fixed asap. Im sure of one thing, never in my life will me or my family buy a dodge again. |
