SAME PROBLEM THAT OCCURS WITH KNOWN RECALL P60 - NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000; CHRYSLER 300 WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEAVILY POPULATED CITY 3 LANE ROAD WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED (35-40 MPH) SINCE MY DIGITAL DISPLAY SCREEN AND SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONED. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR CUT OFF COMPLETELY WITH THE ONLY WARING BEING "BATTERY SAVER MODE" THAT OCCURRED LESS THAN 5 MINS PRIOR TO MY CAR SHUTTING OFF. IT APPEARS THE MY ALTERNATOR FAILED CAUSING ENGINE STALL, THUS INCREASING THE RISK OF CRASH, SINCE NO WARNING IS ISSUED. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE COP THAT PULLED UP BEHIND ME, I WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON THAT STREET IN WHICH THE POLICE OFFICER WOULD HAVE BLAMED ME FOR. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH A "ALTERNATOR" REPAIR. THIS REPAIR DOESN'T APPLY TO THE CURRENT RECALL FROM 10/8/2014 BECAUSE I HAVE A 180 AMP ALTERNATOR WITH A 3.6L ENGINE, BUT NOT A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR WITH A 3.6L ENGINE.
