My cars radio went out first then ac blowing warm air then all gauges going crazy and had a burning smell of plastic. was on a city street came up to stop sign and car just died. this could of been very dangerous. thank goodness i wasn't on highway. i am told it is my alternator and this should be included with other recalls of alternators. i see they do have recalls on 2012 chrysler 300 for alternator, but my vin # isn't included in the recall, but should be included.

While driving my chrysler 300 shut down no electrical power unable to put the car in park no warning signs and stopped in traffic. unable to use hazard alights as well.

Had alternator and battery replaced today 06/30/2017 due to shortage. noted numerous internet complaints about this for chrysler 300. there is a safety recall that includes 'certain' 2011 thru 2014 chrysler 300's ("p60 / nhtsa 14v-634...fca has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2011 through 2014 model year dodge durango, chrysler 300, dodge challenger, dodge charger and 2012 through 2014 model year jeep grand cherokee vehicles equipped with a 3.6l engine and a 160 amp alternator.") i checked with my local chrysler dealership and the nhtsa vin recall look-up tool and my car has no open recalls. however, i do not find it a coincidence that my car has this problem if other chrysler 300's are having the problem enough to generate a recall. i had the battery and alternator replaced at a local repair company for $962 and some change. as the safety recall warns and denotes the possibility of ... "the driver will have limited or no detection of the alternator failing, which can result in vehicle shutdown while driving" ... this is exactly what happened to me at an intersection in heavy traffic on 06/29/17. i think my vin should be included in the safety recall and chrysler should be responsible for the repairs. thank you for your time.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 300. while driving unknown speeds, the instrument cluster flashed and there was an abnormal burning odor. the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. the contact purchased the part and replaced the alternator; however, the vehicle was still inoperable. the contact visited a local dealer (2639 lakeside dr, lynchburg, va 24501) and was informed that the parts were not available. the manufacturer was notified of the issue and opened case number: 32635882. the manufacturer advised the contact to tow the vehicle to a local dealer at her expense. no further assistance was offered. the failure mileage was unknown.

Driving at night. noticed car was" whining" and emitting burnt plastic odor. lights dimmed. information (evic) screen reported "battery saver mode". checked car upon arriving home. burnt odor from location of alternator.

My battery light came on when i was leaving the grocery store. about a mile away i stopped at stoplight at a busy intersection on the highway and dash lights started coming on and off, radio and ac coming on and off and then car dies and will not restart. after 5 or 10 minutes get it restarted and will barely move. luckily there was an auto parts store just around the corner. when i pull in the parking lot, car will not shift out of drive, will not shut off, wind shield wipers come on and won't go off, gauges all going crazy and have to use emergency brake so my car won't run through the front of the store while i go into store to get help. the guy hooks up to diagnostic device and it gives a read error. (hooks up to another car and no error). finally get car to shut off after about 20 minutes. he tests battery and comes back low. new $200 battery and starts up fine, everything working again. pull out of parking lot and start smelling something burning, smoke coming through vents, weird sound. pull over and same things happen - gauges going crazy, wipers on, won't shift out of drive, won't turn off. get out of car and take key out with me and wipers come on. have to take out fuse to get them to go off. lights come on. have to disconnect battery to get them off - all of this when the key is not even in the car! $60 to have car towed to shop and $600 to have alternator replaced. why is the 180 amp alternator not part of the p60 recall when it is having the same exact issues as the 160 amp alternator that was recalled??? i keep seeing others saying they keep having the alternator go out again even after they replace it. i have had this car for 5 years and never and problems with it other than general maintenance stuff. i don't not feel safe driving it any longer.

Limited edition 75th anniversary mopar. continually blows the 25 amp fuse for the acc, anti-sway, & and systems. alternator has caught fire on on one occassion. chrysler either doesn't care or does not possess the expertise to resolve the problem. battery & alternator replaced after fire. 4091 miles later i am experiencing the same blown fuse problem. chrysler "independant" investigator from eaa (mike sobiecki) filed report to chrysler a few weeks ago. no call from chrysler to me regarding this issue (there is a chrysler case number on this). i need help. i work out of state and i-ve already broke down during interstate travel on i-10.

While driving with my children, the cars warning lights lit up and alarms started beeping. the service engine light came on as well as the fcw off message, i smelled smoke and heard a whiring sound. after pulling in my driveway, i popped open the hood and found nothing out of the ordinary. 20 minutes later i started up the car and started driving, again without any issue. when coming back home (4 mile round trip), i heard a whiring sound again, smelled smoke and lights and alarms again. fortunately, i was pulling into the driveway. at this point, i could see smoke coming from under the hood. i popped the hood and saw smoke billowing from the area of the alternator. after the smoke stopped i attempted to start the car to move it and roll up windows but could not, the car had no power. after researching the issue, i was glad to see that there was a recall on the alternator for my car. however, i was disappointed to learn that my vin was not included in the recall. after further research, i determined that the recall was only for the 160 amp alternator, my car has the 180 amp. this alternator failed in the exact same way as the 160 amp alternators. i was very lucky that this happened while turning into my driveway and not a busy intersection. since this was not part of the recall, i am now out $1000. i have read similar stories of the exact same issue with the 180 amp alternators. this is a safety issue, please help.

Car had no issues. was driving and all of a sudden out of no where everything in car was flickering on and off. speedometer was going up and down and couldn't steer car. the smell was like something was on fire. thought it was battery (even though there was no issues before) bought a new battery and the burning and smoke was worse. couldn't even drive it home. this is a common problem w this vehicle yet this vin isn't included in the recall.

First sign was it kept saying low power mode activated. i took it in to dealership but they said everything was fine. a month later i was driving on the highway and everything electrical turned off (steering, abs, battery, etc.) and the car started smoking heavily. my car stalled out in the middle of the highway and i had to push it to the side of the road. very very scary to lose all control of your car all of a sudden when driving at high speeds. i pulled over and got car towed away only to find out that the alternator was messed up causing the battery and serpentine belt to go out as well. i asked if my 300 was covered part of the faulty alternators but apparently my vin doesn't cover the recall so here i am hoping to cause awareness so i can get my $1500 bill covered especially since the car only has 80,000 miles on it. 2012 chrysler/dodge/jeep are known to have faulty alternators but my vin is not part of the "bad batch" so please expand this recall.

On 12/22/16, i used my car for work and later christmas shopping with no problem. at 9:00 pm, my husband, granddaughter and i were on the freeway traveling about 60-65 mph when the battery save mode light came on. i smelled smoke so my husband merged over to the far right, still traveling about 50-55 mph. the car began to shut down, first the radio, then inside panel lights, headlights, airbag warning lights, brake lights, windshield wipers up, and car slammed into park while moving. felt like we were rear ended. very scary. luckily, we were able to coast downhill off the side of the freeway, barely making it off, with the backend of the car in jeopardy of being hit. the three of us were stranded there on the side of the road until 1:30 am, in a not so lit area, until aaa arrived. none of us knew how to put the car in neutral so it had to be forced on and off the flat bed. the next day, i notified chrysler and found out there was a recall on the alternator for this same make, model and year. my care # is 30764006. however, i was told that my car was not covered because it had a 180 amp alternator instead of 160 amp. i was told by [xxx] to have my car towed to motor village la for an official diagnosis and that she (chrysler) would try to help me get it approved to be fixed under the recall. motor village quoted me $1200 to fix and denied the recall claim. my family and i almost lost our lives that evening, and i wasted time with chrysler recall. i had to get the car towed elsewhere because i could not afford $1200 for repair. furthermore, when i called back, i was not able to speak with [xxx] and of course, the story had changed. they no longer offered help, only apologies. as a result, i lost time off work and was without a car for a week. i am requesting reimbursement for my $130.00 diagnostic charge paid to motor village. thank you.

I was on my way home from the grocery store with my son, i was stopped at a red light when the light turned green i pressed on the gas to go and the car would not move the abs light came on. the end car finally started to move slowly, then all the lights started to flash and everything went black, no power! i tried to get as close as possible to home, at that point i had no power steering no nothing and all the while the dashboard kept flickering and it said service transmission, malfunction indicator was lit up. this all happened in rush hour traffic. smh i was going about 25mph and miles on vehicle was 55,900

As i was driving on a city street, my alternator shut down causing everything electrical to stop functioning. i lost control of the vehicle and the brakes were not responding as well. the car kept rolling until i hit a curb.

Since purchasing this vehicle on memorial day weekend at chrysler, little falls nj of 2014, i have had nothing but issues. from electrical problems, to the airbag issues, to later spending over 1300 in repairing the alternator. within the 1st few days of the purchase the air bag light came on in which i immediately brought the car in for repair and the mechanic stated that there were no issues found. unfortunately, it was too late to cancel the purchase, per flo i had signed the contract and cannot cancel the deal. after becoming very frustrated with the continuous issues with the vehicle and lack of customer service, i contacted corporate chrysler, in which caitlin contacted me and scheduled an appointment with rt1 chrysler in lawrenceville nj around 7/2015, in which they stated that the air bag had spliced wires. a few days from taking the vehicle home the air bag light came back on. i contacted caitlin to report that the issue still exist in which she never called me back. i called her for several months. i then took the vehicle to the chrysler in cherry hill and the one in lumberton, all stated no issues found, even after bringing it in when the alternator went on it. i also brought it in to the chrysler in lumberton since the car had lost power/engine knocking and they stated nothing was wrong until i brought it back to cherry hill chrysler and they found that it was engine problems. corporate chrysler and all these dealers have continued claiming that they cannot find any airbag issues or when they claim they find something, it has been repaired but yet the problem still exist. bottom line, all these dealers and corporate chrysler have continued putting my life, my families life and others in danger. i fear for my life and my families. this car is nothing but a luxury lemon and corporate chrysler needs to replace the vehicle since they cannot fix it.
