Alternator recall that matches exact issue, make (Dodge), model (Charger), year (2014), and engine size of car (3.6L v6). Alternator malfunction caused short circuit of hydro-electric power steering pump. Indicator lights began to flash and car would begin to stall while in operation until eventually dying completely. Alerted that vin number was not part of the recall and had to have all work done at local mechanic. Electrical system · reported at 68,037 miles

While driving freeway, highway, in a parking lot or at a stop light my cars electronics are shutting off and occasionally the engine shuts off and my steering locks up. Sounds like the p60 recall but my car vin does not qualify but had all the same symptoms and is very dangerous. This car is my only way to work and it's been getting worse and I have been denied a fix on this. This is not safe at all Electrical system
