Question check gages light

I just signed up for this site but I dont have a clue where to ask my question at so im going to try here. I have a 2000 durango 4x4. just recently while i am driving the check gages light comes on and the battery jumps to 18 (8 on one side 14 in middle and 18 on the right)it usually is on 14. and it stays on for 2 mins usually but yesterday it stayed on for 10 mins until i shut the suv off. then the radio cut completly out 4 times during a 30 minute trip. can anyone tell me whats wrong with it before i take it to a mechanic ? thank you in advance

This is a DIY (Do It Yourself) section. Let me move this to the 1st Gen Durango section board for you.

yup i agree take it back to them to be fixed, it should still be under some sort of warranty from them
