The power steering pump grinds when turning and sometimes locks up. This is the second time I've filed about this.

So, I've had a problem with the electric p/s pump with it making grinding noises as I turn and locking up. I did end up replacing it because the dealer near me neglected to tell me there was a recall on it and wanted to charge me to fix it. The pump I replaced it with is starting to do it again... I want it replaced with a brand new oem pump.

My vehicle's electrical system will not charge correctly and has lead to electrical systems shutting down while driving. I was driving in 90+ degree heat along a city street with the AC running full blast and the radio going, just minutes after having left my house, when suddenly the radio stopped working and would not turn back on. Moments later, the AC system started blowing hot air and a red battery voltage light appeared in the evic with a *ding* noise. Shortly thereafter all electrical systems ceased and the engine died, with the transmission grinding to a halt. The vehicle was towed to a local repair shop where I had the electrical systems including the alternator inspected. The alternator passed inspection just slightly under the recommended 14 volts, so I opted not to replace it but did have to purchase a new battery. This was approximately one month ago. Fast forward to today, and while driving home the radio turned itself off and a low battery voltage indicator appeared in the evic. After searching the web, I see there is a known flaw with chrysler alternators relating to recall notice "t3607112017" - found here: I'm quite a bit peeved - as I sit here unable to use my vehicle, chrysler seems to be dragging its feet with this particular recall, scheduled to be announced during the 4th quarter 2017. I'm afraid if I were to use my vehicle again, I would either become stranded once more, or worse - there have been reports of electrical fires originating in the alternator with this particular model vehicle. Alas, I've searched for the invoice from the repair shop I used but have been unable to find it. Perhaps I can call and see if they have a copy available in their records.

While driving my car home from work on 5/15/2017, I smelled smoke and started to hear a squealing from the engine area. I thought it might be one of the pully bearings, but when I pulled over and opened the hood, I found smoke coming out of the alternator, right after that flames came out of it too. I ran into the closest store and asked for the fire extinguisher and put out the fire before it spread. I'm calling chrysler about the p60 recall which covers the alternator being defective. 800‑423‑6343. Case # 31638569 they are sending someone out to take a look at the alternator.
