On 20170731 my 2013 chrysler 300s showed battery saver indicator on ignition. It also emitted a funny smell. I parked the vehicle. Aaa came out, and the technician changed the battery. When the car was started. What the technician identified as the alternator starting smoking and glowing. It had been the source of the smell. He had to throw his water on it to put it out. I read an article cnbc.com from 20170714 saying chrysler 300 vehicles had alternator fire risks: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/14/fiat-chrysler-recalls-1-point-33-million-vehicles.html . I never received notification from chrysler of such a recall even though the local service office has had my address and phone number for about a year. After towing to chrysler service in san jose, the service manager in san jose and their online chat help person said that the recall didn't apply to my specific vehicle. Additionally, the rep refuted that the announced recall was for an alternator even though the article clearly says "the automaker is also recalling 565,000 vehicles to replace their alternators because of fire risks. The company said hot ambient temperatures could lead to premature diode wear, may result in a burning odor or smoke, could impact the anti-lock braking system or lead to engine stalls." this is exactly what I experienced and the article says it applied to my year make and model of vehicle. I need to make sure chrysler/dodge is following up on this issue because people could die. Not only am I on the hook for $1k in costs for something that looks like a manufacturer hazard. I also don't know if related examination/replacement will occur on my vehicle... I need to know that proper precaution is taken. For reference the aaa contracted technician was from great america tow in san jose, ca. I can provide a reference number for his visit if contacted. He may provide more useful observations.

Same problem that occurs with known recall p60 - the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v634000; chrysler 300 while I was driving my vehicle shut down completely in the middle of a heavily populated city 3 lane road while I was driving at an unknown speed (35-40 MPH) since my digital display screen and speedometer malfunctioned. While driving my car cut off completely with the only waring being "battery saver mode" that occurred less than 5 mins prior to my car shutting off. It appears the my alternator failed causing engine stall, thus increasing the risk of crash, since no warning is issued. Had it not been for the cop that pulled up behind me, I would have caused an accident on that street in which the police officer would have blamed me for. My car is currently at the dealership with a "alternator" repair. This repair doesn't apply to the current recall from 10/8/2014 because I have a 180 amp alternator with a 3.6l engine, but not a 160 amp alternator with a 3.6l engine.

I have a 2013 chrysler 300s. While driving at a speed around 45 MPH in city driving, car stalled in the middle of an intersection while turning left at front of oncoming traffic. Seconds later the car shut off completely leaving me with no or little control over steering. The radio turned off, lights in car started flashing on and off, screens on the dash turned white, and all error lights on dash turned on. Burning electrical/rubber smell filled the car. All issues identical to the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v634000. I checked my VIN to see if my car would be covered but it was not included in the recall. Upon further research there has been numerous complaints on exact models of my car that were also not covered. I am very thankful my car was able to get out of the way of oncoming traffic before another vehicle hit us because my kids or myself probably would have been seriously injured or even worst, killed. Once car came to a complete stop, I tried restarting the vehicle. The car would try to start but the engine would not even be able to turn over. All lights and switches inside the car were not working properly. Lights turning on and off, heater was blowing when we had it set to AC, pushing on the break would turn off all lights in the car, etc. I hope with all the multiple complaint, and potential to cause serious injury, they will consider recalling the additional models of alternators they are clearly having the same defects.
