Anyone caught what the EVIC voltmeter is doing just before shit hits the fan?
I wonder if it's worth fitting an under/over volt monitor with audible alert?

yep they all went one after the other, bit like a controlled shutdown, even the dash warning lights all came on as the particular item died. didnt or dont remember any electrical burning smell. Too busy trying to control the beast and get out of the way of everyone.

It wouldn’t surprise me if the computer has a script that tells it to shut down non essential systems. I feel like that’s what it was doing, while trying to run the vehicle on the battery

Battery Warning light -Alternator
Hi
My 2011 V6 Petrol Limited had the battery light come on while my wife was driving the car yesterday, i had her take it to the Jeep service centre. They did not have anyone to look at it on the day so it has spent the night with them, I waiting on a call today.
I suspect it is the alternator with the pending recall and would like to just be prearmed when dealing with the service people as I have a low opion of them. They took pleasure in informing me yesterday that if it is the alternator there are no parts and they would have my car for a long time!
With regards to this and what i have read here, I should expect an aftermarket alternator one installed unitl the replacemnt OEM one is avail?
And also i have the right to request a loan car similiar to my car at no cost to me?

I’m not sure if 2011 is part of the recall but if it is, you can absolutely request an aftermarket alternator.
My experience getting a loan car was a nightmare, but your dealer may have one available making it nice and easy. As it’s a recall, you should be within your rights to request one
