We lifted the hood to investigate where the smell was coming from and the alternator caught fire right before our eyes!

My 2011 dodge durango crew says key no detected when i attempt to start the vehicle. I thought it was the battery in the key fob because the vehicle stated low key battery and took the fob to battery's plus. They tested the key fob and stated the battery was fine and didn't need to be replaced. Also the drivers side head and brake lights go out.

I filed a complaint a week ago under nhtsa id number 10706397. My car is at the dodge dealership for a week now waiting on an alternator. The alternator arrived today and was bad out of the box. The alternator was locked up. I was told it would now be at least 2 more days before it is repaired. It seems to me like there are alot of problems with the 180v alternators like there were with the 160v. *tr

While driving the electrical system went hay wire, a/c turned off, wipers turned on, lights flickered on and off, and the vehicle died. There was also a smell of something burning from under the hood. I replaced the battery with a new one, vehicle turned on for a while but later died again, seems there is a problem with the alternator, it's not charging. *tr
