Description of the problem	I was driving through a winding, two lane mountain road when my buddy and i both smelled something burning. We thought it may be something outside, so i continued driving. After a few minutes we both agreed to i should pull over. During this time, different warning lights on the dash flickered on and off repeatedly. Before i was able to pull over, smoke began to seep through the hood. Luckily, there was a parking lot to a trail head i was able to pull off. I parked and turned the jeep off. It would not crank again. After the first attempt, all power was lost. Attempted to jump multiple times. Towed for diagnostics. Independent mechanic shop determined alternator had shorted internally and battery was no longer able to hold a charge. Both were replaced for $1,600. There is an open recall for 2012-2014 models, t36/nhtsa 17v-435. Why are the 2011's excluded? This recall includes engine sales code erb; my 2011 sales code is also erb, but my vin isn't included in the recall. I took this mountain road to avoid traffic from an accident on the major highway that is my normal way home.
