Battery saver message went on. Lights flickered.since there is an upcoming recall on alternator with the 2014 models manufactured April 22, 2010, to January 2, 2014 and my cars manufactured date is may of 2014 I hope you will include all 2014 models for the recall. Although my alternator has yet to completely fail the history of the current failures began with battery saver messages and electrical problems. I would like to get this resolved before my car loses power on the highway with my 3 children in it and possible getting hurt. Also if the alternator in this car is different than the recall and is showing problems in my car Dodge might be replacing the current recall alternators with the alternator in my car.

Radio shut off and would not turn on while driving to destination. Once I got to my destination, I had the car in park, but the engine still turned on. All of the gauges in the dashboard started going crazy and then the inside lights started flashing. The car then shut off and had absolutely no power whatsoever. Could not even put my car in "neutral" to move it out of the middle of the road because it is "push to start" and has no way of getting power to the transmission to be able to put it in neutral. I was in the middle of the road waiting for Dodge's roadside assistance to get there from 12:00 am until 5:30 am. The tow truck eventually came and took it to the nearest dealership to find out that my alternator went out and completely drained the battery as well. My car was only 3 thousand miles outside of the 36K bumper to bumper warranty and only 2 years old. Well timed, Dodge!! way to get out of paying for your mistakes!!

Engine light came on while driving. Took it in for service and dealer stated that it's an O2 sensor malfunction. Dealer had the car for 2 days. They claimed that they replaced all O2 sensors. Engine light came on again after 1 week. Took it back to the same dealer and they stated that the software had to be upgraded. After 3 days, check engine light came on again. Took it back to the same dealer and they stated that the wiring harness has to be change. Service person said that he would have to order parts and as soon as it arrives. He will contact us. After 4 days, we called the dealership and they said that the service person that took care of us from day 1 had been terminated. Spoke to a new service person and he stated that he 's not aware of this problem. We insisted that the car be diagnose as soon as possible and gave us an appointment on 7/19/14. In the mean time, the car cannot be driven too far. Performance of the car is very erratic and would feel that it would shut off. Although, service person stated that is ok to be driven.
