2011 Chrysler 300 engine problems

Alternator caught on fire while engine was stopped\car parked while driving on interstate, the battery indicator came on, indicating a problem with the charging system. I continued on to my destination about 3 miles. When I turned the car off, there was an obvious smell of something being "hot" and I raised the hood to see if I could see it. The alternator was obviously very hot, and slightly smoking. Assuming it was ok now that I had turned it off, I went inside the building to call the dealer.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 chrysler 300. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH, the engine stalled as the battery saver warning indicator illuminated and smoke started to emit from the vent. The problem recurred several times. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 48,000.
