WE WERE UNABLE TO PUT OUR HAZARDS ON AND BARELY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE SHOULDER, DURING THIS OTHER CARS WERE HONKING AT US. WE FOUND OUT THAT OUR VEHICLE HAS A RECALL T36, WHILE THIS ISNT THE ONLY ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO FIX AT THIS TIME TILL LATE FEBRUARY OF 2018. THE ONLY REPAIR THAT THE DEALERSHIP CAN DO IS PUT ANOTHER FAULTY ALTERNATOR OUR JEEP. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPEN. IN 2015, THIS SAME EXACT THING HAPPEN EXCEPT WE WERE ON A SIDE STREET. AT THAT TIME THE RECALL WAS NOT KNOWN. SO IF REPLACED THIS WOULD BE THE 3RD ALTERNATOR PUT IN OUR JEEP. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT, AND FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE OUR VEHICLE IF THE PART IS NOT YET CREATED. THEY WOULD LIKE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE BY PUTTING IN A FAULTY ALTERNATOR, WHICH COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN ANOTHER ISSUE. WHILE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY, LUCKILY THE CAR AROUND ME WERE AWARE OF THE SURROUNDS BECAUSE WE COULD HAVE CAUSE A CRASH EASILY SINCE THE HAZARDS DIDN'T WORK.
