Car suddenly turned off while in motion causing wheel and rim damage as well as back number damage. Replaced battery after check engine light came on at which time the vehicle operated fine the previous day and had been sitting overnight(diagnosed by auto zone), replaced on 6-Jul-18. Today 18-Jul-18 absolutely no lights or power to the vehicle. I have tried jumps and car is still inoperable. It gets so hot in here that the interior surfaces are melting and chipping off.

While driving down the highway, my alternator went out. The battery light came on and all of the lights started flashing. I managed to exit the freeway and get to a safe point. I am reporting this because I see that there was a recall on 2011 - 2014 models. The very same thing happened to my vehicle.
