RADIO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 DODGE CHARGER RT. THEN I DROVE 3 MORE MILES TO A LOCAL HARRIS TEETER. I WAS IN THERE ABOUT 10 MINUTES. CAME OUT AND LOADING MY 2 BAGS AND PROCEEDED TO CRANK UP MY CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START. JUST A QUICK CLICK BUT THE ENGINE WOULDN'T START. PLS NOTE THAT THIS HAPPENED A DAY AFTER IT WAS SHOWN ON THE NEWS THAT DODGE WERE HAVING RECALLS ON ALTERNATORS AND DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS.IN PARTICULAR, 2011-2016 DODGE CHARGERS WITH 5.7L & 3.6L. I HAVE A 5.7L ENGINE. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A CARD YET IN THE MAIL REGARDING THESE RECALLS, BUT I DID GO TO THE WEBSITE AND IT STATED THAT IT WOULD AUGUST 21ST BEFORE THEY MAIL THEM OUT. I ALSO WENT AHEAD AND PUT MY VIN# ON THE WEBSITE & NO RECALLS APPEARED. BUT THE WEBSITE STATED THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT WON'T SHOW UP LATER. CAN I STILL GO TO A LOCAL DODGE CENTER AND REPORT THIS ISSUE AND GET THEM TO REPLACE IT FOR FREE BASED ON THE TELEVISED RECALL ON THESE PARTS AND THAT MY CAR FALLS INTO THE DESCRIPTIONS? I WAITED AN HOUR AND A HALF TO GET MY CHARGER TOWED BACK TO MY HOME VIA MY CAR INSURANCE WITH ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE. PLS NOTE THAT THIS IS THE 3RD RECALL ON THIS CAR.

Is 4 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2016 and 2018, roughly 2 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
