At 7:30 pm on the fdr drive approaching exit 17 at about 45 MPH. My chrysler 300 went completely dead while driving with my children in the car. No warning the car just came to abrupt stop sliding for about 10 feet before fully stopping. The engine went dead the light went off I couldn't steer nothing on the car works, never seen anything like that in my life. Thank god it was still bright out so I can and other driver was able to see me to avoid hitting the car otherwise we could of been dead or a very nasty accident. The nypd came ask what happen they said it's the alternator I used a jumper I had in the back to jump it it started I exit the highway it stop dead again no warning on 125 st. The officers activated the shift lock and help me push it to the side of the road. Where I paid $217 to have it towed to brooklyn. Called star chrysler sunday explaining what happen they said their service dept closed sunday. Called back 7 am monday, they won't even come tow or send a tow truck. Miss terry telling me it's my responsibility to have the car towed to them. I paid another $190 to tow the car from brooklyn to queens village ny.

The federal safety agency recall number: 17v‑435. For the past eight months I have tried to have this service recall taken care of. I have brought my car to my local dealership multiple times and was told that the parts have not shipped yet. I have made multiple documented phone calls to the recall chrysler customer care handling the recall for me and failed to get the replacement part. Chrysler has been delaying the recall parts so that the vehicle warranties run out. On 4/11/2018 at 1 pm chrysler alternator started smoking. All the units in the cars were fried. Would not shut off I had no control of anything. I also have a video of what happen and getting little help from chrysler.
