As I exited the freeway my vehicle began to shut down and lose power. I was able to sputter at 10 mph for about a quarter mile to a parking lot. The vehicles electronics were shutting down the whole time and weird electrical activation's started occurring or freezing on their own such as lights, senors, wipers, radio etc. I could also smell a burnt odor emitting from the air vents. When I parked the vehicle it did not start and had smoke coming from the engine. I checked the engine and saw some smoke coming from the alternator and smelled burnt. I took the vehicle to the dealer on 01-22-18 and they diagnosed it as the alternator failing due to the recall but there was no fix yet from Chrysler. They stated the quick fix is replacing the alternator but the vehicle would have to come back until they discover what needs to be fixed on the recall. Today is 01-24-18 and my vehicle is not repaired because the dealer is waiting approval from Chrysler to install a new alternator since there is no exact fix for the recall yet. They told me it may be an electrical computer problem, wiring problem or alternator problem. They told me they may install a new alternator today (01-24-18) and they had to order it. I have been with no vehicle since 01-18-18 due to the dealer and Chrysler not problem solving their mistake. I'm glad I didn't crash or was in the fast lane of the freeway when I lost power but my son was scared because he didn't know what was going on. I cant imagine the consequences if things had not gone the way they did. Someone could seriously get injured at the expense of Chrysler failing to find a fix. Would this fall under the lemon law?

My cars display keeps flashing off and on while driving and at a stop sign or signal light the dash flickers and automatically puts the car to park. The only time that's nothing happens is when the car is revved. This model has had issues before and that was based on the alternator issue which seem like to be the same problem again. Please fix this issue.

A kind of noise was present in the engine and I took vehicle to the dealer back in August 2017. The partially fixed the issue, however, they said that a recall was available for it, however, no remediation yet available. In conclusion, they suggested me to wait for the remediation to be available B/C the alternator would have to be replaced. Since August 2017 I've been waiting for Dodge to release parts for this recall and the dealer told me it would not be later than November. Don't know what to do now and I'm concern the vehicle may stop at any time due to a fire or electrical short-circuit.
