Description of the problem	Hello nhtsa team, i am writing to you to ask that additional vin numbers be included in an existing recall. The existing recall is p60 / nhtsa 14v-634 for alternator failure. Can you please include vin [xxx] into the recall. The alternator in my 2011 grand jeep cherokee, the 160 amp unit will suddenly begin making a very loud whining sound that can be heard loudly from within the cabin of the vehicle and within the engine bay. We have invested a lot of money and time trying to determine what is wrong, only to find out my vehicle is not included in this recall, which we would have been able to put two and two together immediately. I have already replaced the battery which was very expensive, only to find it is getting drained by the alternator. All of the fault indicator lights come on, including the brake indicator failure, engine failure, 4 wheel drive, windshield wipers, and then the vehicle basically will shut down. You have to the engine off, shut everything down and restart. I am afraid i am going to get killed in this jeep. I am not sure why my vehicle is not included as all of the specifications on their end appear to be identical to the specifications outlined in the recall for the failed alternator. The issue is the tell-tail loud whining sound stemming from the alternator and the noise increases in decibels as the rpm increase. Please include vin [xxx] in the existing recall. Thank you very much information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
