My vehicle stalls when placed from reverse to drive and the check engine light blinks and goes to Eco mode which makes the car shake. I’ve had a tuneup, oil change, brakes, O2 sensor and spark plugs replaced and the issues still exist. The car also will initiate skid control without warning or pressing the button which slows the car down and causes the engine to rev above 3-6rpm

I recently ran into some mechanical issues that have concerned me. I was driving my vehicle october 9th 2019 on the highway with an average speed of 70mph 'speed limit' and without any warning the vehicle cut off while still in motion. There were no warning lights or any indication that I was having any issues mechanically. I was able to pull over safely and the vehicle would not start. After 15-20 minutes on the side of the road and a few phone calls to a towing company I tried to start the vehicle and it started right up. I contacted the nearest dealer to me 'rocky mount chrysler dodge jeep ram fiat, located at 1340 s wesleyan blvd, rocky mount, nc 27803 at phone number 252‑977‑1340'. I was told by the service manager my vehicle had already had the recall for the electrical system: alternator/generator/regulator completed and there should not be any problems. This was even after stating the issue which I caused me to be on the side of the road. Believing the recall actually fixed the problem the first time then why am I now/still having the same problems as listed with the recall, electrical system: alternator/generator/regulator.

While driving down a busy highway my car began to have electrical issues with the lights blinking and display going in and out before the vehicle cut off in the middle of the road. I had three children all under the age of five.after having it towed and inspected a refurbished alternator was put in due to a recall (new ones were on back order). Last week my power steering went out while I was driving. I couldn't move the steering wheel at ali. I called the insurance company to send assistance to no avail. I replaced the power steering fuse the next day and after dropping my son off to school, it went out again in the middle of the road. Luckily, I had purchased extra fuses in the event it went out again. I took it to the dealership that did the work before, where they told me the only thing that would fix that problem would be to replace the power steering pump because its electrical. Having electrical issues that affect your ability to operate the car while you are operating it is extremely dangerous and frightening especially when you have children aboard.

I have a recall for alternator I have had four appointments sinc november. Each time they study the problem charge chysle for the inspection then tell me they don't have a altinator. I am concerned that chrysler maybe getting skrewed the dealer is galeana chrysler dodge jeep in ft myers florida. The call me up for an appointment then tell me they don't have the part. What do I do. It's a alternator recall
I spoke with the service department at ganely chrysler aurora (first jim, then mat). I requested an appointment regarding the alternate recall. Jim stated that since this recall is over a year old, and the dealership only gets one part at a time, I would have to call in a couple of weeks to see if they are able to repair my vehicle. I called another dealership and was told that I would actually have to bring the vehicle in so they could look at my part number and order the part if they do not already have it on hand. Since this was not what jim stated I called ganely aurora back and spoke to mat. Mat confirmed what they other dealership told me and said that he did not know why jim told me to call back in a couple of weeks. An electrical issue could be very dangerous and dealerships should not give customers the run-a-round or knowingly provide incorrect information.
