Description of the problem | On 8/24/19 the alternator failed while driving (in motion!!) and the car stopped in the middle of the road shortly after the battery light came on. The battery had just been replaced new that same day. We could not move the car or restart the vehicle to move it and just purchased used on the 21 august 2019, issue that you can not get the car into neutral to move the car. Or that there is no a secondary power source so that if the power fails you can still operate the gears and move the car out of the way. The care makes a clanking noise like if the gears were not moving and the car jolted forward and just stopped. Really? Then couldn't move it thank god it didn't happen on the freeway. Saw that there is a recall on this durango for the alternator suddenly failing that exactly what happen but there is no record of that being fixed or being an issue on this model why? |
