Description of the problem	My battery light came on so i pulled over at an advanced auto and had the battery checked. This was on my way to work. They tested my battery and said the battery that i had just replace 3 months earlier had a bad cell. How is that possible? I had it replaced and then tried to start the vehicle to test the alternator. At that point my alternator started smoking after the vehicle started. They said my alternator wasnt charging enough and it needed replaced. At this point i had to disconnect my battery to stop the alternator from smoking. When i did this, my battery felt unusually hot. Got it tested and it blew my battery. I replaced the battery and the alternator and then the starter was not functioning at all. I replaced the starter and there was no change. The starter was not getting any power. As im reading through the complaints section the only two things it could be it seems is the tipm or the pcm. This seems like it should be a major safety concern and should be looked into before someone gets hurt. Maybe could be a class action lawsuit on jeep as it should stand behind its product.
