Driving 70mph on the interstate, the battery icon appeared on the dash. After checking the information system it stated "battery saver mode". in attempt to make it home, driving an additional 30 minutes- the electrical system in the car started to malfunction. The dashboard lights flashed out of control, the windshield wipers came on, the car accelerated without my foot on the pedal, and the steering wheel tightened where I was unable to stop or turn the vehicle. After an estimate of 1 minute of attempting to stop the vehicle, it failed. The car came to a complete stop and shut down. We were not able to restart it or put it in gear. We had a tow truck carry the car back to the dealer, rainbow Dodge Chrysler Jeep of covington, la. After searching for information online, it stated that the problem is a faulty alternator, which is a safety recall for Chrysler and the part is unavailable.
My vehicle stalled luckily as I was getting on to the 91 eastbound euclid St on ramp. My vehicle could have stalled in the carpool lane. Also I had just dropped off my 7 month old daughter at my mother's house.

I was driving and suddenly began to fail the entire board and heating alone is lit it and I could not lower the windows and power was shut down and the lights went out and it was night the wheel was hard and clean breezes seized my car manometers went crazy started going up and down as I could until I stop my car and refused to ensender risked my children.
As I was driving I noticed a weird noise under the hood followed by the battery saver mode come in the vehicles dash. Next I began to smell a burning smell, so I pulled over and cut the car off to investigate. I saw nothing unusual. I continued home and while enroute my dash lights began to flash and the car began driving sluggish. Then the vehicle lost power and suddenly stop in the middle of traffic. Car would not start and had to get a tow. At the shop mechanic said it was the altenator. Sooooo $600 later car was fixed.
My car was stalling or slipping as I drove, and I got to a grocery car and parked it, I cut it off and when I came back and tried to restart it. It was dead. I called aaa, and he said my alternator was bad and it was causing my battery to go dead. I got it home and haven't drove it since. The Dodge dealership told me the price of the alternator so I started driving my other car. I then checked to see if anyone else was having the issue. I was surprised to see a recall, when I called my dealer they said they didn't know about it and I would have to wait until it came out if it was really a recall. I called Chrysler and they told me I would have to wait as well, while it was under investigation. I haven't drove my car in a month, waiting on Nov. 28th, but today I found this website and decided to add my experience. So glad I wasn't driving when this happened.
I was on my way to my residence, and my vehicle just shut off without warning and in traffic. I could have bee injured. I had to push it to my house. I tried to start it, but it would not crank. I had it towed to the nearest Dodge dealer and was told my alternator failed and killed my battery.
Drove the car to work battery saver light came on went off. Was driving home from work picked up the kids was on my way back to work place and once arrived turned car off once I got back in car it smelled like electrical burnt smell wouldn't start ac was blowing a burnt smell wipers started going crazy, all dash board lights were flickering flashing then nothing. Wouldn't do anything... just died.. after purchasing an alternator through Dodge $585 note for a 2012 model is insane. I had to have the car towed another $65 the car is extremely loud which I was told was when alternator went out it over stressed the fan. The heater went out last week which ended up being a regulator or something part this car is a lemon nothing but issues since I bought it..
I had just got off of the high way and it appeared that my car wasn't driving to it's full speed. As I got a bit closer to my destination my radio cut off and the ABS light came on. As I pulled in the driveway the car shut off and I tried to start it back but the power was out from there. I had no clue what happen I just figured that a light may have been left on accidentally or something but that wasn't the case. I tried to get a jump but the car started literally for 10 seconds and no more after that.
I pulled out of driveway & I felt my car was running funny I turned on the highway and the check battery light came on. I then stopped at the nearest gas station which was about 2 blocks away. I then started to lose power as I got to the gas station. My car entered battery save mode. I popped the hood & the alternator was smoking. It smelled burnt. Needless to say if I kept driving I could have crashed because you lose control of your vehicle. I can see its a nationwide problem for this car & nothing has been done. Some people have actually crashed & others there engines have caught fire. I did my research on it.
