This week my Durango flashed a red icon that looks like a battery on the dash. I decided to just turn around because I smelt something burning. I started to lose power to things; lights dimmed, wipers started acting crazy, radio went off, blind spot came on and wouldn’t come off, I finally lost power steering in my driveway and completely lost power. Wednesday I got something in the mail about an alternator recall so I had it towed to Dodge. The technician is now saying he thinks it’s more than just the alternator and thinks the PCM could have fried.... they are saying if the reason why the alternator went bad is because of the PCM I will have to pay the charges Could the PCM cause the alternator to fail?

The alternator damages the PCM when it fails not thenother way round, there is a recall for the 3.6L but funny enough not for the 5.7L which is ridiculous as its the same issue, had the replace the alternator and PCM at my own cost!
