2011 Dodge Charger steering problems

Without warning while driving at highway speeds I began to smell a plastic melting smell. Almost immediately the radio shut off and I got a "battery saver mode" message. Within seconds the car's engine quit. When the engine stopped so did all power to the controls including steering and brakes. When got the car to the side of the road I could see visible blue smoke coming from the front of the passenger's side engine compartment. Popped the hood and identified that the smoke was coming from the alternator.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 dodge charger. The contact stated that it was difficult to unlatch the buckle of the driver side seat belt. In addition, the horn failed and was no longer operable. The contact also heard a loud screeching sound when the brake pedal was depressed. The dealer stated that the lower control arm, tie rod end, and wheel bearing needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failures recurred. The failure mileage was 53,000.
