Battery saver mode turns on while going 65 mph on freeway. Only my radio is on so there is no huge drain on the battery. Service keyless system is also something that turns on multiple times. At times the key fob won't open the door or start the car even with a new battery in the key fob.

I'm still having, (battery saver mode light coming on). And now I'm worried about the ("takata recall"). I've taken my Dodge Charger back to Dodge dealership for service today, 11/16/17, as the (ABS) & (traction control) lights both were on. And as I was driving my car to the dealership I tried to set my cruise control at 75 mph as I was on I-77 South, but I couldn't get it to set at any speed. Today 11/17/2017 my repair bill is $350 dollars + a car payment and hopefully I can get home with the alternator issues. I'm tired of paying for something that I'm afraid to drive anywhere I need to go. This Dodge belongs to a family of 4 including myself, can someone please help me get something done asap I think I have a beautiful vehicle and I don't really want to trade it just because of the no parts available, as my luck would be, the parts would be available the same month as I traded cars.

Evic frequently displays "operating in battery saving mode" and sometimes will display a symbol looking like a "target or bullseye" while vehicle is in motion on a city street and highway. Owner's manual does not address either of these warnings or symbols.

On August 05 2017 we were on our way to tampa, fl travelling on us 41 in gibsoton, fl when vehicle all of a sudden the vehicle began to shut down out of nowhere.nothing would work no lights, no alarm, nothing the car was completely dead.I called to have it towed but bc the car was completely dead the aaa worker could not to it on a flatbed tow truck.they had to have a dolly lift truck.this is very dangerous and could have resulted in an accident had I been on the interstate.the car gave me no indication that anything was failing was running just fine when I left my home.this should be a major concern for the manufacturer that a vehicle will start just fine and all of a sudden the vehicle will just stop anywhere at any given time.ive owned a numerous of vehicles and when it comes to an alternator you usually have some indication that it is going bad.I took it to the nearest repair shop and the confirmed that the alternator was the reason for the vehicle stopping completely on me.
