Experienced total electrical failure after replacing alternator and battery- electrical failure affects everything- unsafe to drive

Filed Mar 13, 2017 · Acceleration, Brakes · 64,450 miles · IN

On march 12, 2017 I was driving chrysler 2012 300 vehicle on a busy highway,the vehicle then went into battery power save mode, without warning the vehicle stalled and the breaks locked on me, the car did not let me stop and I was on a busy street route 30 in merrillville, in with my 2 year old daughter in the back seat, the vehicle rolled at approximately 20 MPH for 15 feet and made an abrupt stop, after wards I was unable to turn on vehicle and was left stranded on busy street, luckily their were no cars in front of me at the time or it could of been worse, after doing research I called chrysler and asked if this could of been due to faulty alternator and mentioned recall p61 and was told the recall was for a 160 amp and mine was 180 amp, the cause of this situation was clearly due to a recall on a recall of a different chrysler model and should be looked into immediately, I have always been a customer of chrysler and my reasoning behind buying chrysler is because of their wonderful safety features, and feeling secure while driving my 2 young children,it is unfair and after this I no longer feel safe driving this vehicle . Their needs to be immediate action taken to avoid injury or possible death.
