ALL OF A SUDDEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT IT'S HARD TO STEER THE VEHICLE WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, ON A CITY STREET WITH A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIANS. THE ROAD WAS DRY. NO INDICATIONS THAT THE CAR WAS HAVING AN ISSUE PRIOR TO THAT. I CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID AND THE BELT I DON'T HEAR A SOUND. I'VE ASKED SEVERAL PEOPLE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS AS BEING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHICH CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HIT THE CURB AND PEDESTRIANS ON THE SIDEWALK. THERE HAS TO BE A RESOLUTION BECAUSE THIS IS A PROBLEM NOT WITH JUST MY VEHICLE UP WITH MANY OTHERS. WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD A NEW POWER STEERING UNIT IN IT.

I INITIALLY GOT MY ALTERNATOR CHANGED BY MY OWN MECHANIC BEFORE THERE WAS ANY RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR. THEN SOME TIME LAST YEAR 2018 I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS. WHILE MY CAR WAS AT DODGE THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT THE RECALL ON MY ALTERNATOR STILL HADN'T BEEN CLEARED SINCE I NEVER CHANGED IT WITH DODGE SO I WAS LIKE WHAT THE HECK WHY NOT JUST GET A BRAND NEW ONE THROUGH DODGE THIS TIME WHILE THEY'RE REPAIRING WHATEVER NEEDED TO BE DONE WITH MY AIR BAGS. FAST FORWARD TO JULY OF 2019 I TOOK MY CAR IN TO DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR SOME SHAKING WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BREAK AND FOR THE GEARS NOT PROPERLY SHIFTING. MY RPMS WERE GOING WAY TOO HIGH BEFORE THE NEXT GEAR WOULD SHIFT. SERVICE AT DEALERSHIP CLAIMED TO FIX THE ISSUE BUT I WAS BACK A WEEK LATER BECAUSE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. AFTER LEAVING IT THERE ANOTHER SEVERAL DAYS THEY SAID THEY FOUND THE ACTUAL ISSUE SO NOW I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING ANY PROBLEMS. ( SOMETHING WAS MISFIRING , A COIL WAS CHANGED ETC.) NOW SEPT OF 2019 MY CAR DECIDED TO STOP ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ALMOST KILLING ME. MY ENTIRE DASHBOARD WENT CRAZY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF, AIR BAGS LIGHT, STEERING WHEEL , NO KEY FOB DETECTED ALL WHILE LOOSING POWER. THANKFULLY I MADE IT OFF THE EXIST WITH JUST ENOUGH POWER TO GET TO A GAS STATION RIGHT OFF THE FREEWAY BEFORE MY CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF ON ME. I TOOK THE BATTERY TO GET CHECKED IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD, RECHARGED IT CAR STARTED FINE THEN WENT BACK TO DOING THE EXACT SAME THING WITH WARNING SIGNS ALL OVER THE DASHBOARD AND LEAVING ME AGAIN. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW BATTERY AND STILL WONT TURN ON. BEING THAT I EXPERIENCED SOMETHING SIMILAR THE FIRST TIME MY ALTERNATOR WENT OUT I AM PRETTY SURE THIS IS THE SAME EXACT THING. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THIS CAR SINCE I GOT IT WILL BE TAKING IT BACK TO DEALER BUT I NO LONGER FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.
