Description of the problem | I purchased my dodge durango brand new in 2014 and never had an issue with it. It is currently in great condition except that i recently took it in for an oil change on 3/9/19. It sat in my driveway until my wife drove it to work the following monday morning. On her way home from work she started to smell an overwhelming burning electrical smell. I drove it back into the dealership where the oil change took place and they outright lied to me telling me it was a plastic bag burning on the catalytic converter. They could not prove it when i asked them to show me. I scheduled an appointment with another dealership for this tuesday. So i did some research to see if anyone has had the issue and the internet is full of these vehicles having the same problem. I noticed that in a fe instances the issue was dud to a recall on the alternator. When i entered my vin number in the nhtsa site, it does not come up as a vehicle that needs the recall completed. Why would my 2014 dodge durango be part of that recall? Vin [xxx] and also if this is not the issue why would i and so many others have the issue.
