TIPM & alternator electrical failures

Shares the Charger platform and its electrical weak points — sudden stalls, dead headlights, and no-starts from TIPM and alternator failures. Check that the alternator recall is done and scan for codes before buying.

BEFORE YOU BUY
Ask for repair records covering this item. If it hasn't been addressed and the car is in or near the mileage window, price the $400–$1,500 repair into your offer — or make it the seller's problem.
