Steering · Vehicle Speed Control
Power steering fails, making it difficult to maneuver hard turns. This has caused me to go off the road and nearly wreck/strike other cars. After much research this is a common issue in these cars. It occurs at city and highway speeds. It's hard to steer at high and low speeds.

On 7-14-15, i started my vehicle. As it started, i heard a "ding" noise. I observed on my display two warning lights on. That being the abs, and electronic stability control (esc) lights came on. After doing some research, i discovered this may be the result of a speed sensor going out. (this also disrupts use of cruise control.) i contacted my local dodge dealer, advising them i needed a "front left speed sensor".…

I pulled into an intersection and the electrical on the vehicle started flashing off and on. Dashboard, wipers, radio, transmission and engine stuttering and stalling. I made it through the intersection, and about 20 feet from it before the car shut off completely. There was minimal power, so the hazards worked, but the key fob was not detected (i just bought a new battery for it last week), the warning lights on…
