I'm still having, (battery saver mode light coming on). And now I'm worried about the ("takata recall"). I've taken my dodge charger back to dodge dealership for service today, 11/16/17, as the (ABS) & (traction control) lights both were on. And as I was driving my car to the dealership I tried to set my cruise control at 75 MPH as I was on I-77 south, but I couldn't get it to set at any speed. Today 11/17/2017 my repair bill is $350.00 dollars + a car payment and hopefully I can get home with the alternator issues. I'm tired of paying for something that I'm afraid to drive anywhere I need to go. This dodge belongs to a family of 4 including myself, can someone please help me get something done asap I think I have a beautiful vehicle and I don't really want to trade it just because of the no parts available, as my luck would be, the parts would be available the same month as I traded cars.

It is real hard to turn my car wheel; I was told it was some electrical problems. But I'm really not sure; it came out the blue.
While driving my evic notified me that it was in "battery save mode" .my research revealed that this is en electrical problem involving the alternator. There have been 2 recalls for this defect, however, my VIN is not included. I feel that it should be. I have an appointment with dodge on 3-21. I think they should replace the alternator at no cost. Kindly respond.
I always bring my car to rancho chrysler jeep dodge on 8010 balboa avenue san diego, ca 92111 regarding the "batter saver mode". I've had this car for almost 2 years and have gone in several times about this issue. They replaced the battery/alternator at least that's what I was told and the "battery saver mode" still comes on. The issue is if you turn off the car it goes away. I was informed to bring it back in if the "battery saver mode" comes back on but if the place isn't opened that's impossible to do so. I would like this to be fixed, my car cuts off at times when I start it and drive off in the morning when it's colder and this has been happening for years which this was reported to the car company as well.
