MY ENGINE LIGHT HAS DECIDED TO LIGHT UP IN MY JEEP RANDOMLY ONE DAY AFTER STARTING IT. AFTER SCANNING IT, IT SHOWS CODE P0522. THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE HAS SHOWN IT USUALLY SHOWS THE OIL LIGHT WHEN IT IS THAT CODE. SO AS A RESULT, I HAVE HAD MY OIL CHANGED AGAIN AND I HAVE ORDERED A OIL PRESSURE SENSOR/SENDER HOPING THAT WILL FIX ALL MY PROBLEMS WHICH WILL BE INSTALLED NEXT SUNDAY (7/7/2019). I ALSO HAD TO CHANGE THE WATER PUMP BECAUSE IT HAD A CRACK IN IT, THE THERMOSTAT JUST FOR PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES, AND THE BELT BECAUSE IT HAD A TEAR IN IT ABOUT HALF THE SIZE OF THE WIDTH. ALL OF THIS TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE SCANNER SHOWING THE CODE P0522. SO WE WILL SEE IF THAT ACTUALLY FIXES THE PROBLEM.

ENGINE STALLS FOR NO REASON UNDER BRAKING AND DECELERATION. HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN BRAKING AND TURNING. LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHEN IT HAPPENS. DOES NOT HAPPEN FREQUENTLY , MORE OFTEN IN THE COLD WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN STARTED. CANT REPLICATE IT WHEN CAR IS HOT. DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED ON EXIT RAMPS AS CAR HAS TO BE CONTROLLED WITH NO POWER STEERING AND CAR HAS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT IN PARK WHERE IT HAS ALWAYS RESTARTED. PEOPLE BEHIND ME NOT HAPPY WHEN STOPPING ON EXIT RAMPS. HAVE BROUGHT TO DEALER AFTER IT HAS HAPPENED AND THE CAR HAS NOT THROWN ANY CODES. THERE IS NOT REAL PATTERN TO THIS STALLING, BUT, HAVING TO STOP THE CAR TO RESTART IT POSSES A DANGER OF GETTING REAR ENDED. HAPPENS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 30 TO 60. HAPPENS MOST FREQUENTLY IN ROTARIES (ROUNDABOUTS) WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO ENTER.

WE LOADED UP TO GO TO THE DESERT (CLEAR SUMMER DAY WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR 80 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT), STOPPED TO GET GAS AND ICE (JEEP WAS RUNNING THE ENTIRE TIME) AND ONCE WE GOT ON THE WAY THERE, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, THEN AN ODD SOUND WAS HEARD THEN WHITISH ELECTRICAL SMELLING SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, THIS HAPPENED WITHIN 8 - 10 SECONDS TOTAL). I GRABBED MY EXTINGUISHER AND POPPED THE HOOD AND SAW THAT THE SMOKE APPEARED TO BE COMING FROM AROUND THE ALTERNATOR AND STEAM WAS EVERYWHERE. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE MOTOR WAS OVERHEATED (BUT NO TEMPERATURE LIGHT AND NO FANS WERE TURNING). WE TURNED AROUND AND MADE IT THE 3 BLOCKS BACK TO THE HOUSE WHEN THE JEEP DIED AND WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WE ALMOST COLLIDED WITH A PARKED CAR. WE PARKED IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET TO COOL OFF AND TO OBTAIN ASSISTANCE TO PUSH IT INTO MY GARAGE. IT WAS FOUND THAT MY ALTERNATOR HAD A DIODE THAT SHORTED TO GROUND. PLEASE ACTUALLY READ THE FOLLOWING: THERE ARE AT LEAST 38 OTHER COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THE SAME CHAIN OF EVENTS ON NHTSA WEBSITE. ALT SHORTS, DESTROYS THE BATTERY, AND TIPM/PCM. FCA REFUSES TO EXPAND 1 OF 3 OPEN RECALLS TO INCLUDE MY MAKE/MODEL AND MANY OTHERS. NHTSA REFUSES TO ACTUALLY HOLD JEEP/FCA ACCOUNTABLE. CHECK P60-14V634 (ALTERNATOR HAD BAD DIODES AND SHORTED TO GROUND) EXPANDED MULTIPLE TIMES, T36-17V435 (ALTERNATOR HAD BAD DIODES AND SHORTED TO GROUND)EXPANDED MULTIPLE TIMES, T75-17V741 (ALTERNATOR HAD BAD DIODES AND SHORTED TO GROUND). THE DATA IN NHTSA DATA SHOWS THAT FROM YEARS 2007 TO 2018, FCA US, LLC MODELS BADGED 2012 HAD THE HIGHEST PERCENT OF TOTAL RECALLS OF ANY YEAR OWNING 18% OF THE 24,053,941 TOTAL RECALLS FCA FAMILY HAD. HOW DOES THIS NOT FLAG THE NHTSA TO FIGHT FOR US? THE NHTSA FINED FCA 120,000,000 FOR THEIR ADDMITTED UNEFECTUAL RECALL PROCESS. I HAVE SO MUCH MORE DATA. SAD.
