Description of the problem | This is the second time that the alternator shorted out seized and killed battery within 9 months, so battery completely dies - first time couldn't even jump start so had to tow, second time i left it connected to jump starter wires for 8 minutes and the car started and took it to dealership. First time it happened in nov 2013 and now again in october 2014. Central avenue chrysler jeep dealership doesn't know why this is happening, as it shouldn't. I had to pay for the replacement twice now, $400 first time and $500 second time. |
