At aproximately 39000 miles, whie driving down the road the electric power steering / rack and pinion died. The wheel froze up and was very hard to turn. I was lucky i was not going fast. It cost me 3900.00 for a new R&P on a fairly new car at the time. I have also been through 3 drive shaft bearings in 100,000 miles. Dodge should be sued, so many other reports of these items going... These are expensive safety issues that shat shoud be covered by the mfgr.

IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT FOR A BRIEF SECOND RESULTING IN TOTAL INOPERABILITY OF THE CAR'S MANEUVERABILITY. LUCKILY, FOR MY SON, THIS HAS TYPICALLY BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY ON A STRAIGHT AWAY. FROM WHAT I CAN GATHER, THERE SEEMS TO BE NO ANSWER TO THIS VIA CHAT BOARDS, OR ANY KNOWLEDGE OF A FIX FROM A DEALER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND DODGE SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ASAP BEFORE IT RESULTS IN THE ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLE DEATH OF SOMEONE AT A HIGH SPEED TRYING TO MAKE A CORNER. ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE FACT THAT POLICE OFFICERS ARE USING THESE CARS IN EXACTLY THIS WAY. DO BETTER DODGE, THIS IS AN ISSUE!

THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED DISPLAYING MESSAGES TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICED. IT HAS BEGAN TO NOT START AS WELL. IT WILL RANDOMLY FLASH THESE MESSAGES ON THE DASH IN MOTION AND STATIONARY POSITIONS. WHEN IT DOES, THE POWER STEERING ACTUALLY GOES OUT OF THE VEHICLE SWERVES. THE CAR WAS JUST AT A DEALERSHIP TO GET THE OIL DONE A WEEK AGO AND THEY DID AN ENTIRE INSPECTION ON IT AND SAID IT WAS FINE....IT HAS DONE THIS BEFORE 2 YEARS AGO AND THEN STOPPED ON IT'S OWN. SO THE OIL CHANGE WAS BEFORE THE ISSUES STARTED AGAIN. HAD IT CHECKED OUT AGAIN AND STILL NOTHING THROWING ANY CODES OUT. THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND WE WOULD LOVE SOME ANSWERS AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING!

STREEING MAKING NOSIE WHILE TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT

Incident

May 5, 2019

STEERING WHEEL JERKED WHEN TURNING OR BACKING OUT OF A TIGHT SPOT, INTERMITTENTLY. WE THEN RECEIVED POWER STEERING ERROR WITH THE ICON ON THE DASH. NOW APPROX 3 MONTHS LATER WE LOST POWER STEERING. DEALERS SAY THE ENTIRE FRONT RACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF AN ELECTRONIC PART. THE RACK IS AT LEAST $2500 AND THEN MULTIPLE DEALERS SAY AT LEAST ANOTHER $1500 IN LABOR. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A CAR ONLY 2 YEARS OLD CAN BE SUBJECT TO THIS TYPE OF REPAIR FOR AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT FAILURE. WHEN STARTING, WE CAN STEER EASILY BUT AFTER 100 YARDS OR LESS WE GET THE FAILURE ICON AND LOSE POWER STEERING. THIS CLEARLY SEEMS A FAULT AT THE DESIGN/MANUFACTURE LEVEL. I CANNOT FIND THE COST OF THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENT YET, WOULD LIKE SOME HELP WITH THAT AND ALSO WITH CHRYSLER BEING MADE TO FIX THIS DEFECT.

MY 2015 CHARGER IS HAVING POWER STEERING ISSUES. PROBLEM STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO, WHEN THE CAR WOULD JERK TO EITHER SIDE AND THE ABS LIGHT WOULD COME ON. TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW POWER STEERING RACK. CAR WAS A YEAR OLD WHEN PURCHASED, AND A YEAR LATER, IS HAVING THIS MAJOR ISSUE. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A DEFECT, OR IF SOMEONE TRIED TO MODIFY CAR IN SOME WAY, OR IF THE PROBLEM OCCURRED BEFORE IT WAS PURCHASED BY ME AND THAT INFO WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO ME. THE CAR WAS USED AS A PERSONAL VEHICLE BY THE MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM, AND WAS ONLY TOLD THAT INFORMATION AFTER I PURCHASED IT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE THIS ISSUE KNOWN, IN CASE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.AGAIN, IN MY OPINION, THIS CAR IS TOO NEW TO HAVE THIS KIND OF ISSUE, SO SOON. ONLY 2 YEARS OLD.

IN MY CASE BOTH INSTANCES OCCURRED WITHIN FIVE MINUTES OF STARTING THE CAR COLD AND DRIVING..
