I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, CHYSLER IS NOT RECALLING ANY MODELS WITH THE 180 VOLT ALTENATOR. I AM ASSUMING BECAUSE MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE AN ACTIVE RECALL NOTICE ON IT, THAT MY CAR HAS 180 VOLT ALTENATOR ON IT. IF THAT IS THE CASE? I HAVE READ OVER 300 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 180 VOLT ALTENATOR. I WAS LUCKY THAT I HAD JUST GOTTEN OF THE FREEWAY AND WAS NOT GOING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. WHAT ACTIONS HAVE THE NHTSA TAKEN TOO PROTECT CONSUMERS FOR THIS DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE? EVEN WHEN MY CAR IS FIXED, IF THE CAN FIX IT I WILL NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TOO BE ADDRESSED BY THE CHRYSLER CORPORARTION AND THE NHTS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, CHECK BATTERY SAVE MODE AND ABS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED, AND THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER (GOLLING CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 2405 S TELEGRAPH RD, BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI, 48302) WHO INFORMED HER THAT THEY COULD NOT PROCEED WITH REPAIRING HER VEHICLE UNTIL THEY HEARD FROM THE MANUFACTURER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT HER VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT IT WAS NOT ROLLED OUT YET. THE MANUFACTURER FURTHER STATED THAT THEY WOULD START NOTIFYING CONSUMERS ON AUGUST 24, 2017, EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL WAS ISSUED ON JULY 10, 2017. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 108,000.
