When driving, power steering randomly turns off and displays "service power steering system". It decided to shut off power steering midway through a right hand turn causing me to drive over the sidewalk and almost into a parked car in the parking lot on the other side of the sidewalk. This is absolutely ridiculous, i dont feel safe letting my kids ride in this car at all, especially since i never know when my power…

2014 dodge charge police car loses all power steering when turned left. We have 4 of these models at our police agency and all 4 are doing the same thing. After speaking with several other police chief's, they all stated that the electrostatic power steering pump was bad and it was a multiple thousand dollar fix for them. Our local dodge dealer says to fix each fleet car, the cost will be over $2000 per car. With…

Driving in the city or highway the power steering will stop working and becomes uncontrollable/hard to get to the edge of the road. This condition is very unsafe and could cause an accident. The power steering will intermittently not work first start in the morning and turning corners. Checked and topped off the fluid level. It worked fine for two or three days and starts acting up again.

I was driving home and stopped to allow another car to turn in front of me, i flashed my lights once to alert the other drive to go and my windshield wipers came on at a high speed. I tried to turn them off and they would not stop, i turned the wiper switch backwards and forward and they still would not turn off. I had to drive home (in broad sunny daylight) with the wipers going very fast on dry glass! Very…

Whenever i am driving and i turn left and the steering wheel is so hard to turn it seems as if it's stuck. I have come extremely close to hitting medians because the car just doesn't seem to want to turn. It only happens with left turns. The right seems to be okay. I don't feel safe driving my children knowing that the car doesn't operate properly. I checked recalls but there doesn't seem to be one. I have checked…

Alternator recall. Engine interiors lights flash while off, car intermittently will go off. Power steering not available. Chrysler mechanics would not look into my power steering issues. Told me my alternator is fine. I do not feel my alternator is fine and want it replaced. I do not feel safe driving with my children.

It was replaced at a cost of $2k if it had been left further, the dealership said…

Initially the steering became hard from power steering loss, "service awd" light came on, "service power steering" light was next, followed by brake system failure. Car was still a little driveable and then it stalled as i was stopping. This vehicle is very dangerous. Vehicle would not restart even though the…

My issue with the vehicle is the rack and pinion locking up on me when i turn left. I took it into dodge and they didn't want to do anything with it because the problem wasn't happening at the time that it was brought into the shop, this was when i had warranty that i paid extra for and everything. After it got worse, i lost control of it making a left and i hit a curb, which caused me to have to get a new tire. As…
