I received safety recall p60 from chrysler in early december 2014. The safety recall indicted that the parts required were not available and that they would contact me when the remedy parts are available. I have heard nothing. I contacted chrysler today 3/7/15 and they indicated they have no idea as to when this situation would be remedied. Given the fact that this is an alternator situation which could cause the car to unexpectedly shutdown or catch fire, it does not appear as though this situation is being taken seriously by chrysler / dodge. I would like a remedy to this situation immediately. Thank you.

My vehicle has a safety recall on the alternator since november 2014, the ABS light and traction control light came on while I was driving home from the store. I called chrysler the next day to inform them of this event and I was given a case number and put on a list. I use my car daily for work and can't be without it so I am wondering how long does it take to get in parts to fix it. My children and I are in danger every time we have to go some where until this matter is resolved.
I am in receipt of safety recall p60/the federal safety agency 14v‑634 I own a 2013 dodge charger se 3.6l engine, wa580 5-spd transmission. On thursday, january 29, 2015, while traveling from la valle, wi to tomah, wi, I noticed my headlights flickering when the brakes were applied. On friday, january 31, 2015, I emailed a note to chrysler assistance that I had received notification of recall about 2 months prior, with no further communications from chrysler. On sunday, feb 1, 2015, traveling round trip from tomah, wi to la valle, wi and back, I noticed my headlights malfunctioning again while applying the brakes. On monday, feb 2, 2015, I had my car in for a regular scheduled servicing. I asked if they had any information regarding the recall, to which they indicated that they know about it, but did not have any new information either. They offered to load test my battery, which was fine, indicating that I could continue to drive the car. Later in the day on feb 2, I received an email from chrysler assistance indicating that my complaint had been forwarded to their special tracking department, and that once the parts are available, I would be notified. I would like the federal safety agency to look into why chrysler has not been able to arrange either a better part or an alternate solution to remedy the recall. I do not normally drive the car much after dark, but to be stalled somewhere out in the country when it's 20- zero outside would put the safety of myself and my young daughter needlessly at risk.

There is a recall I just received in the mail today on my car p60 (alternator) and I was driving down the road yesterday dec 6, when everything shut down on me...while driving 45 MPH in congested traffic almost causing a deadly accident. They said there is no remedy yet but they will put a new defective alternator on my car leaving me in the same situation if this happens again until the problem is resolved. I feel the car should be replaced at their expense as it is no longer safe in my opinion for me to drive with children because we were almost killed yesterday when this happened there was no warning it just went down. Dodge willnot give me a rental car since I am 900 miles over warranty but this is a recall so im stuck with no car and even when I get it back it is still defective. Please help!
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge charger. The contact stated that the lights on the instrument panel would intermittently flicker off and on. The failure progressed and the vehicle would stall while driving at various speeds. The vehicle was taken for diagnostic testing at an independent repair facility. The technician stated that the battery was not properly receiving a charge and the alternator would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The VIN was not affected by the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v634000 (electrical system). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 45,000.
My 2013 dodge charger had it's alternator fail at around 12000 miles back in may of 2014. I see that chrysler has now recalled the car (the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v634000) for the same issue. However, I have not been able to get a straight answer from them in regards to whether or not the dealer fixed the issue when they replaced the alternator in may 2014 or whether it is still a lingering issue. I also failed to get a response as to whether or not it is safe to drive the vehicle if the issue is still lingering. I tried communicating with them electronically through their website and their 1800 recall number. The 1800 recall number was a waste of time because the lady answering the phone only repeated back information that was part of the public release of the recall. The lady answering the phone also tried to make it seem like its unknown whether or not my vehicle is even part of the recall. That seems strange considering the fact that most alternators do not fail at 12000 miles and my charger matches the description of vehicles that could be affected by the recall. Given the possible consequences that could occur, I wanted some reassurances from chrysler that the vehicle was safe to drive.
While entering the highway, the call stalled and seems as if there was trouble automatically switching gear. At first we thought it was just time for an oil change. So after getting the oil change, the radio and engine went hay-wire. She couldn't shut off the engine for over 30 minutes. When we took the car to the dodge dealership regarding our issues, they told me they couldn't find anything wrong. I bought this car for my wife and have serious concerns. Clearly there is something wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I was driving on hallandale beach blvd in south florida and my dodge charger shut off on me after giving me a "battery saver mode" message. I had just picked it up from the dealer and they told me it was a computer issue but my beliefs is that they lied. I went online to look up some information about the message given and many people have complained about it. Please do further investigating on this issue. Luckily I'm still under warranty and I will be in there tomorrow morning to speak to them in person about this issue.
