I HAVE A 2012 CHRYSLER 300C. YESTERDAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING AROUND 40 MPH THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY FAILED AT THE SAME TIME SO SUBSEQUENTLY THE ELECTRONICS IN MY VEHICLE QUICKLY BEGAN TO SHUT DOWN STARTING WITH THE RADIO, AIR CONDITIONING, AND THEN ALL OF THE VITAL ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS SUCH AS
... THE ABS BRAKES, POWER STEERING, AND IGNITION ( NO ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS ULTIMATELY). WITHOUT ANY ELECTRICAL POWER IN WORKING IN MY CAR I SOMEHOW MANAGED TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OF THE MAIN ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT ( BARELY MADE IT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ACTIVE POWER STEERING AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM STOP WORKING AS IT SHOULD. HAD THERE BEEN OTHER VEHICLES IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA , I MAY NOT BE SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT . SO ONCE I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR STOP AND OUT OF THE HIGHWAY, I OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED WHITE SMOKE EMITTING FROM THE ALTERNATOR AND I ALSO THAT THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETED DRAINED BECAUSE THE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS, IGNITION, DOOR LOCKS, WINDOWS, AND ETC WERE NOT WORKING. HAS THERE BEEN OR IS THERE A PENDING RECALL FOR MY YEAR AND MODEL OF CAR. I HAVE A 5.7L HEMI ENGINE WITH A 220 AMP ALTERNATOR. I DID READ ONLINE THAT A RECALL #T36 WAS GOING TO BE ISSUED IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT I EXPERIENCE, BUT I'M NOT TO SURE ABOUT THE VALIDITY OF THAT INFORMATION. CAN YOU GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION PERTAINING TO MY EXPERIENCE?Read more
