Since I have purchased this verhicle. The hands-free safety calling features have failed to start up. Not connecting with any hand-held devices, making it difficult to operate the car whether is moving or parked.
While driving, the vehicle warning lights indicated systems starting to shut down---warning lights for ABS, traction control, battery low, check engine, etc. Then "brakes" red light started flashing, and car felt like brakes were on. Car systems lost all power and car stalled, and I could not even run the "blinker" warning lights or any lights at all. I was able to swing car to side of road just in time before it basically "locked up" dead and immovable. Had to have car towed 2 miles to home. I had previously called local dealer and Chrysler headquarters 4 different times to schedule the 17V-435 alternator recall service over a several month period starting March 2018. Was told twice I had been moved up the waiting list for parts and they would call to schedule appointment. As of date of alternator failure December 13, 2018 I was never re-contacted for an appointment to bring car in for recall service. Car now sitting dead and immobile at my home.

I have a recall for alternator I have had four appointments sinc November. Each time they study the problem charge chysle for the inspection then tell me they don't have a altinator. I am concerned that Chrysler maybe getting skrewed the dealer is galeana Chrysler Dodge Jeep in ft myers Florida. The call me up for an appointment then tell me they don't have the part. What do I do. It's a alternator recall
I spoke with the service department at ganely Chrysler Aurora (first jim, then mat). I requested an appointment regarding the alternate recall. Jim stated that since this recall is over a year old, and the dealership only gets one part at a time, I would have to call in a couple of weeks to see if they are able to repair my vehicle. I called another dealership and was told that I would actually have to bring the vehicle in so they could look at my part number and order the part if they do not already have it on hand. Since this was not what jim stated I called ganely Aurora back and spoke to mat. Mat confirmed what they other dealership told me and said that he did not know why jim told me to call back in a couple of weeks. An electrical issue could be very dangerous and dealerships should not give customers the run-A-round or knowingly provide incorrect information.
Re: experience recall T36: I was taking an exit off ramp from the highway when I could smell a burning smell. The ABS, battery and check engine light started blinking. My speedometer was moving up and down, my screen started blinking, windshield wipers went on on its own and my car just locked up and all lights completely went off. Steering and brakes was not operable. As I came down the hilled ramp I pulled over (steering wheel) was hard to steer, hoping and praying that I didn't hit the light pole that was approx. 10 ft away. Thank god the car came to a complete stop about 5 ft away from the light pole. I was not able to put the car in the park position. I called roadside assistance and the tow truck guy couldn't get the car into neutral in order to tow it! he had to open up something by the shifter to force it to go into neutral. Got to the dealership and they quoted me a $160 diagnostic fee. Found that the problem was the alternator which also killed my battery. My car went to the dealership at about 10:30am. The shuttle service brought me to work. By 3pm I didnt get any phone call regarding the status on my car, I called them to check. They said it was the T36 recall -the alternator is faulty that they will try to get the new alternator covered without me having to pay anything out of pocket. The car wouldn't be able to be repaired until the next day. Well today is the next day, they will replace the alternator free of charge but it'll still be a defective one because I will still have to come back to the dealer "when they get the right alternator" and replace it again! this means I will still be driving my "unsafe" car that could get me in an accident or burn until the new part comes out!!this is totally ridiculous! I called the dealer monthly prior to this happening to no avail. I feel like they should provide me a rental car until the "right part" comes in!
