2014 DODGE CHARGER Steering Problems

The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle experienced a loss of power steering, stalled, and then lost motive power. The vehicle was able to restart but was inoperable. The battery warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The contact became aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V435000 (Electrical System); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle had not yet been taken to an independent mechanic or a local dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 109,000.

Mileage: 109,000

I was driving on Interstate 15 North when suddenly my power steering stopped working. I was unable to adequately turn the steering wheel to switch lanes while I was moving 65mph. The light "Service Power Steering" started blinking and I was virtually unable to turn my steering wheel left or right. I was stuck in a life-threatening situation. I immediately had to put my hazard lights on, brake, and fight for my life to try to turn the steering wheel so I could pull over. I almost impacted the barrier and several drivers during this. My mechanic states that my power steering pump failed, without any known cause.

I didn’t own the vehicle when incidents occurred

Door Locks getting stuck front two doors only. Steering wheel trembling while driving on road. All panels front dash side doors and middle section Un attaching. Topp roof of inside is also coming off. Hood paint is peeling right side of hood.

Dodge Charger 2014 BOUGHT IT ON 2015 NO USED WAS GREAT WHEN WE GOT. But IT'S BEEN 8 YRS NOW AND HAVING LOTS BIG PROBLEMS THAT ARE DEFECTED FROM THE MANUFACTUER COMPANY. Lock DOOR THEY DO NOT OPEN OR CLOSE DUE TO THE INTIROR OF THE DOORS ARE DETACHING FROM THE FRONT WTH TH KEY LESS REMOTE. MOST OF ALL THE DASHBOARD IS UNPLEEING FROM TOP OF THE DASH AND DOORS MIDE SECTION. STEERING IS BOUNCHING WHILE DRIVING ON SOMEWHAT UNEVEN ROAD HERE IN THE CITY. Paint STARTING TO PEEL ON THE HOOD. I BELIVE THAT IT IS A SAFTY HASSARED DUE TO IN EMERGENCY TO GET IN OR OUT OF THE CAR WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT. THE STEERING HAS A BIG PROBLEM THAT. HaD A ACCEDENT6 ON 2017 MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IT WAS HEAD ONTO AROCK WALL FENCE.

UNKNOWN

All four axles and spindle nuts are literally decaying and crumbling. Its to the point the guy at the tire shop said its not safe. Being a awd vehicle it puts a lot of strain on the hubs. The car only has 65,000 miles on it.

BEGAN FEELING VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING WHEN OPERATING AT LOW SPEEDS, PARKING, ETC. REPAIR SHOP INDICATED AN ISSUE REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING GEAR AND POWER STEERING PUMP ASSEMBLY. BASED ON OTHER COMPLAINTS AND ONLINE RESEARCH, IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A PERVASIVE ISSUE, KNOWN BY DODGE, THAT CAN CAUSE STEERING FAILURE AND AUTO ACCIDENTS. AS SUCH, RECALL AND REPLACEMENT SHOULD BE WARRANTED.

2014 Dodge Charger electric power steering pump having issues turning steering wheel which I complain about 6 months ago after purchasing the vehicle for my son it a very serious problem concerning safety . They only recall 2014 Dodge Charger if the the power steering pump was install at specific Maufactured facilities, which is bs . Dodge should be responsible for any faulted power steering pump issue knowingly it exists. My son vehicle has this electric power steering pump issue and the manufacturer and Dodge dealer should replace due to safety issues. Please advise

The power steering pump was replaced because of on and off stiffness while driving. This was very frightening because the steering wheel will not release while turning. The dealership replaced the pump about 3 times and still cannot correct the problem.

MY STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT IS BECOMING DIFFICULT TO TURN AND MAKES SQUEALING NOISE WHEN TURNED. WHEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS TOLD TO ME THAT NOTHING WAS COMING UP WRONG WITH THE STEERING ON THE CPU. I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE STEERING PUMP GOES TO MAKE ANY FIXES. AFTER RESEARCH MANY OF OTHER 2014 DODGE CHARGER USERS HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THEIR STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKING OR LOSING ANY CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS.

POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILURE.

Mileage: 52,000

MY STEERING WHEEL HAS LOCKED UP ON ME WHILE I'M DRIVING AT LEAST 10 TIMES IF NOT MORE SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2014 DODGE CHARGER IN 2015. ALL THESE INCIDENTS WHERE AT DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS AND AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 0 TO 60 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD STAY LOCKED FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES. EACH TIME THAT IT HAS HAPPENED, I'VE BEEN CLOSE TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT EITHER HITTING SOMEONE ELSE OR RUNNING OFF THE ROAD. I WOULD TRY TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON TO SEE IF IT WOULD LOOSEN BACK UP. SOMETIMES IT WOULD WORK, OTHER TIMES IT WOULDN'T. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND THEY ALL HAVE SAID IT MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO SO WITH THE POWER STEERING SINCE THE VEHICLE IS ELECTRIC. I'VE THEN TAKEN IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT DIAGNOSED AND THEY SAID NOTHING COMES UP ON THEIR TESTS THAT SHOWS STEERING WHEEL DEFECTS. I'VE ALSO CONTACTED THE ACTUAL DODGE MANUFACTURER BUT THEY WEREN'T OF ANY HELP EITHER UNLESS A RECALL POPS UP. I HAVE NO EVIDENCE TO SHOW THE PROBLEM OTHER THAN HORRIBLE PAST EXPERIENCES I'VE HAD WHILE DRIVING.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE CITY STREET AND AS I WENT TO TURN THE CORNER THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. IT TOOK ALL MY STRENGTH AND CAREFUL BRAKING NOT TO HIT THE CAR IN THE ONCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND THEY TELL ME THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS OUT. AFTER DOING A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE I FIND THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE. IT IS SO COMMON OF AN ISSUE THAT DODGE IS IN SHORT SUPPLY OF NEW POWER STEERING PUMPS WITH ONLY LIKE 3 IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 58 MPH AND POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETY OUT! NO WARNING AT ALL! DASH LIGHTS WENT CRAZY. WARNING LIGHTS: SERVICE SHIFTER, SERVICE POWER STEERING, AUTO PARK DISABLED, CHECK ENGINE, THEN DASH LIGHTS STARTED BLACKING COMPLETELY OUT. VERY DANGEROUS! I TOOK TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAYS THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAS BEEN FIRED. AFTER READING THE ALTENATOR RECALL, THIA EXPLAINED EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED! ALL RECALLS HAVE BEEN FIXED ON THIS VEHICLE. AFTER CONTACTING LOCAL DEALERSHIPS I LEARNED THAT THERE ARE 89 PEOPLE JUST IN MY AREA NEEDING THIS SAME PUMP AND IT IS ON BACK ORDER. THIS TELLS ME THAT THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! NOW $1800 TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED WITH ALTENATOR RECALL COMPLETED. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR, CANT DRIVE,CANT AFFORD TO FIX, AND WONT SELL TO SOMEONE ELSE KNOWING HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. I CANT IMAGINE THAT WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS NOT AN ALL CONSUMING ISSUE AND PUTS MANY LIVES AT RISK

ALL DASH INDICATORS STARTED FLASHING AND THERE WAS A MESSAGE STATING NOT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK OR IT WILL NOT GO BACK INTO A GEAR. SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IF THERE WERE TRAFFIC, IT WOULD HAVE. PARKED CAR, STARTED IT A FEW HOURS LATER AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. DRIVING ON RESIDENTIAL STREET AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT SUDDENLY AGAIN. SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGE HAS REMAINED AND THE POWER STEERING NO LONGER WORKS AT ALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! I AM THANKFUL MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS NOT DRIVING ANY OF THE TIMES IT HAPPENED!

WHILE DRIVING ALL THE WARNING ON THE DRIVERS PANEL STATED TO DING AND WARNING TO NOT PUT CAR INTO PARK OR IT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BE PUT BACK INTO GEAR. THE SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING, THEY STAYED IN MAKING ALL SORT OF NOISE FOR A COUPLE MINUTES. POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING ALL OF A SUDDEN EITHER. I ALMOST WRECKED INTO THE CAR BESIDE ME. PARKED THE CAR ONCE I GOT HOME, BOYFRIEND LOOKED AT IT AND IT SEEMED FINE TO HIM. THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE DIFFERENT TIMES SINCE THEN. THE POWER STEERING WILL JUST STOP WORKING. THE SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT COMES ON NOW AND THEN. IT IS DANGEROUS! I AM JUST HAPPY MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT DRIVING WHEN IT HAPPENED, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC AS SHE HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVING JUST UNDER 2 YEARS. I HAVE LOOKED THIS UP AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. IT IS SO DANGEROUS WHEN THE STEERING GOES OUT, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS! *TR

VEHICLE WAS MAKING A GRUMBLING NOISE AT VERY LOW SPEED WHILE TURNING IN ANY DIRECTION, SUCH AS BACKING OUT OR A DRIVEWAY & TURNING WHEELS TO FACE THE PROPER DIRECTION TO EXIT. THIS LED ME TO TAKE THE CAR INTO A VEHICLE REPAIR SHOP WHERE CERTIFIED ASI MECHANICS COULD INSPECT & HOPEFULLY REPAIR. WHAT THEY DISCOVERED WAS THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL WAS FAIRLY LOW. THEY SIMPLY ADDED THE PROPER & SPECIFIC FLUID TYPE THAT IS USED IN THAT PARTICULAR VEHICLE MADE BY THE CAR MANUFACTURER MOPAR. THIS SURPRISINGLY FIXED THE ISSUE TO WHAT I AM ASSUMING WILL BE A TEMPORARY RESOLUTION. BASED ON MY OWN EXTENSIVE RESEARCH & COMMON KNOWLEDGE, I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. SOMEHOW THE FLUID IS LEAKING, OR SEEPING OUT SOMEWHERE FROM THE ALLEGEDLY SEALED STEERING SYSTEM. WHAT I DISCOVERED BASED ON RESEARCH, IS THAT OBVIOUSLY A SEALED SYSTEM SHOULD NOT LEAK, OR SEEP, & WITH IT BEING SEALED IT CANNOT EVAPORATE. MOST ISSUES W/THE VEHICLE STEERING PUMP HAVE BEEN LEAKS FROM AROUND THE 2 SEALS OF THE RESERVOIR FLUID TANK. A REPLACEMENT TANK & SEALS CAN BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY RATHER THAN ENTIRE PUMP ASSEMBLY WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. ANOTHER COMMON ISSUE IS THAT THE "RACK" OUTER SEAL LEAKS. UNFORTUNATELY THE ATF+4 STOCK FLUID IS AGGRESSIVE ON THESE SEALS & THEY CAN/WILL BECOME POROUS OVER TIME & LEAK. ADDITIONALLY, THE PUMP, IT'S HOSES, & THE SEALS ON THE ENDS OF THE RACK ARE NOW KNOWN AS LEAK POINTS. THE ENTIRE SYSTEM SHOULD BE RECALLED & REPLACED AFTER FIXING THESE ISSUES. IF THE FLUID BECOMES TOO LOW THE VEHICLE & ITS DRIVER/OCCUPANTS WILL EXPERIENCE A POWER STEERING FAILURE IN WHICH THE STEERING WILL SIMPLY SHUT DOWN & NOT PERFORM ITS FUNCTION - STEERING! I DON'T NEED TO COMMENT AS TO HOW EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THIS COULD BE; NOT JUST FOR OCCUPANTS IN THE SAID VEHICLE, BUT THE OCCUPANTS IN OTHER VEHICLES. MY YOUNG SON DRIVES THIS EXACT VEHICLE, & I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED. *TR

AS I WAS MAKING A TURN (CAR WAS IN MOTION ON STREET), THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFENED UP, THE CAR BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO CONTROL. AFTER COMPLETING THE TURN I PULLED INTO A EMPTY PARKING SPACE. I TURNED OFF THE AND THEN TURNED ON THE CAR. I THEN RECEIVED A MESSAGE FROM THE CAR SAYING "SERVICE POWER STEERING". I DECIDED TO DRIVE AROUND THE BLOCK TO SEE IF THERE WOULD BE ANY CHANGE IN HANDLING OF THE CAR. THERE WAS NONE, SO I PARKED THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY.

AROUND 70K MILES I NOTICED MY CAR NOT WANTING TO TURN LEFT, ESPECIALLY WHEN BRAKING. THE WHEEL SEEMS TO LOCK UP AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I ALSO NOTICED A KNOCKING, RATTLING TYPE NOISE, THAT SEEMS TO COME FROM THE WHEEL AREA, WHEN TURNING EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT AND AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. I TOOK MY CAR TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED NEW BRAKES, ROTORS AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS REPLACED. WHICH I HAD THEM REPLACED. I TOOK CAR BACK BECAUSE IT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING, I WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT SEE OR KNOW ANY REASON WHY IT'S STILL HAPPENING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CODES PS401 AND P06DD WAS REPORTED. THE LOCKING OF THE WHEEL IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE THEIR IS A KNOCKING NOISE IN MY FRONT RIGHT WHEEL, ALMOST SOUNDS AS IF SOME BOLTS ARE LOOSE. ALSO WHEN PULLING IN TO BACK UP, WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL A CERTAIN WAY THEIR IS A FUNNY CLICKING SOUND IN THE STEERING WHEEL, AND FUNNY SOUND IN THE BRAKE WHEN I AM BACKING MY CAR INTO MY DRIVE WAY. I BELIEVE THAT THIS MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH A RECALL THAT HASN'T BEEN LOOKED INTO.

ON HIGHWAY GOING 65MPH.CAR STEERING LOST CONTROL AND PULLED SHARP RIGHT OFF ROAD. COULD NOT STEER OR BRAKE. ALL LIGHTS ON PANEL WERE LIT UP. ROAD IN THE DITCH AT 65MPH AND RAMPED A DRIVEWAY AND STILL COULDN'T STEER OR BRAKE.FINALLY CAR CAME TO A STOP ON ITS OWN OR DUE TO IMPACT AND HIGH BRUSH IN THE DITCH.

I HAVE ALREADY HAD IT FIXED BY MY CERTIFIED PREOWNED WARRANTY AND ONCE AGAIN IT HAS DONE IT. THIS TIME IT TOOK OFF MY WINDSHIELD WIPER LEVER, IT HAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED MY INTERIOR AND UNFORTUNATELY THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THAT WHICH IS NOT FAIR. REMEMBER THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN AND ROD IS VERY HEAVY AND DOES MUCH DAMAGE WHEN IT FALLS IN YOUR LAP WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER, IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, I HAVE ONLY SERVICED AND BOUGHT IT FROM A DODGE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR NOW HAS 69,000 MILES AND RECENTLY WAS FIXED OVER A MONTH AGO AND ISSUE STILL REMAINS. MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR OVER 20 DAYS I DID NOT GET A RENTAL VEHICLE AND IT WAS THE MOST PAIN I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED WHEN IT COMES TO DEALING WITH WARRANTEES AND DEALERSHIPS I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE.

I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH FCA SINCE 8/31/16, SO FOR 28 DAYS NOW, THAT I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT POWER STEERING. I FILED MY FIRST COMPLAINT ON, OR AROUND 9/12/16. I EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS STATED IN NHTSA PE14022 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPORXIMATELY 65MPH. EVERY WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF FLASHING, SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE, SERVICE POWER STEERING , AND TACH, AND SPEEDO WOULD DROP TO ZERO , AND I WOULD LOSE ENGINE POWER, AND POWER STEERING. I CAPTURED THE INCIDENT ON VIDEO, AND PROVIDED THE VIDEO TO NHTSA, I WILL AGAIN PROVIDE A LINK FOR THE VIDEO HERE : HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/E96HVQPEP10 . IN DEALING WITH FCA LLC, THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE ELECTRIC HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING PUMP THAT WAS FRIED FROM THIS INCIDENT OCCURING. FCA IS SAYING THAT IT WAS THE "2 YEAR OLD MOPAR BATTERY" THAT CAUSED THE INCIDENT, AND REFUSE TO REPLACE THE EHPS PUMP THAT WORKED PERFECTLY FINE BEFORE THIS OCCURED. I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR PER NHTSA RECALL NO. 14V-634 A GREAT DEAL OF TIME PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT OCCURING. FCA IS TRYING TO CIRCUMVENT HAVING TO REPLACE THE PUMP BY CHANGING THE ORIGIN OF THE MEANS TO THE BATTERY, INSTEAD OF THE ALTERNATOR. I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH HOW FCA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ALL OF THE PROOF GIVEN TO THEM. I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS, THERE HAD BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FILED WITH SIMILAR RESULTS AS MINE IN DEALING WITH FCA. IT'S TIME FOR NHTSA TO DO SOMETHING TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE WITH FCA. FCA OFFERED TO REPLACE THE $1400 EHPS PUMP IF I PAY A $500 CO-PAY, I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS OFFER BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF THE MATTER. THE TRUE ORIGIN OF ALL OF THE ISSUE'S I'M CURRENTLY HAVING, IS FROM THE ORIGINAL ALTERNATOR THAT WAS IN THE CAR FOR A YEAR AND A HALF INITIALLY, AND DURING THAT TIME IT WAS IMPROPERLY CHARGING THE BATTERY THAT POSSIBLY CAUSED THE BATTERY TO ULTIMATELY FAIL ON 8/31/16.

EVERY WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF FLASHING, SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE, SERVICE POWER STEERING , AND TACH, AND SPEEDO WOULD DROP TO ZERO , AND I WOULD LOSE ENGINE POWER, AND POWER STEERING. I CAPTURED THE INCIDENT ON VIDEO, AND PROVIDED THE VIDEO TO NHTSA, I WILL AGAIN PROVIDE A LINK FOR THE VIDEO HERE : HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/E96HVQPEP10 . IN DEALING WITH FCA LLC, THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE ELECTRIC HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING PUMP THAT WAS FRIED FROM THIS INCIDENT OCCURING. FCA IS SAYING THAT IT WAS THE "2 YEAR OLD MOPAR BATTERY" THAT CAUSED THE INCIDENT, AND REFUSE TO REPLACE THE EHPS PUMP THAT WORKED PERFECTLY FINE BEFORE THIS OCCURED. I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR PER NHTSA RECALL NO. 14V-634 A GREAT DEAL OF TIME PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT OCCURING. FCA IS TRYING TO CIRCUMVENT HAVING TO REPLACE THE PUMP BY CHANGING THE ORIGIN OF THE MEANS TO THE BATTERY, INSTEAD OF THE ALTERNATOR. I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH HOW FCA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ALL OF THE PROOF GIVEN TO THEM. I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS, THERE HAD BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FILED WITH SIMILAR RESULTS AS MINE IN DEALING WITH FCA. IT'S TIME FOR NHTSA TO DO SOMETHING TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE WITH FCA. FCA OFFERED TO REPLACE THE $1400 EHPS PUMP IF I PAY A $500 CO-PAY, I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS OFFER BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF THE MATTER. THE TRUE ORIGIN OF ALL OF THE ISSUE'S I'M CURRENTLY HAVING, IS FROM THE ORIGINAL ALTERNATOR THAT WAS IN THE CAR FOR A YEAR AND A HALF INITIALLY, AND DURING THAT TIME IT WAS IMPROPERLY CHARGING THE BATTERY THAT POSSIBLY CAUSED THE BATTERY TO ULTIMATELY FAIL ON 8/31/16. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED FILES. FAILURE MILEAGE 81332

ON AUGUST 29TH 2016 I WAS RETURNING(DRIVING ON US20) HOME FROM SOME OFFICIAL BUSINESS, WHEN MY DASH STARTED FLASHING, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WOULD FLASH, THE SPEED DISPLAYED WOULD GO UP, AND DOWN , AND THE CAR STARTED CHANGING GEARS. THERE WAS A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM MY GEAR SHIFT, LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO SELECT GEAR. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT , AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE KEEP COMING UP AS WELL. I WOULD INTERMITTENLY LOSE POWER STEERING DURING THIS, AND POWER FROM THE ENGINE WOULD LAG ALSO. I HAVE A THREE MINUTE, AND THIRTY-FIVE SECOND VIDEO OF WHAT WAS OCCURING. I CONTACTED SOME MECHANIC FRIENDS THAT WORK ON INDIANA STATE POLICE CHARGERS, AND THEY THOUGHT IT COULD BE THE BATTERY SHORTING OUT. THE NEXT MORNING I REPLACED THE BATTERY, AND INSTALLED PROPERLY WITH POSITIVE POST FIRST. THIS SEEM TO RESOLVE THE DASH FLASHING SYMPTOMS, BUT I THEN HAD NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. I TOOK TO OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER IN LAGRANGE, IN THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS, AND DETERMINED THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING PUMP WAS NO GOOD. THE POWER STEERING PUMP WORKED PERFECTLY FINE WITH NO ISSUES AT ALL, EVER, BEFORE THESE ELECTRICAL ISSUES OCCURED. THIS VEHICLE IS USED TO TRANSPORT THE US CONGRESSMAN, WHEN HE IS IN THE DISTRICT ON OFFICIAL BUSINESS, AND WE NEED IT REPAIRED ASAP. IT IS MY OPINION, THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS DESTROYED BY THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES CONCERNING THE RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. IT IS ALSO MY OPINION THAT FAC LLC SHOULD REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP AT NO COST PER THE CONSENT ORDER PERTAINING TO THIS RECALL. I AM TRYING TO GET THE VIDEO TO EMAIL, AT THIS POINT, THE VIDEO IS TO LONG TO EMAIL.

WHILE DRIVING AND PREPARING TO TURN MY VEHICLE TOOK CONTROL AND I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO BREAK OR TURN. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NOBODY IN THE NEIGHBOR AT THE TIME AND WITH LESS THAN A FOOT FROM HITTING THE STOP SIGN I WAS ABLE TO STOP. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED (1.5 YEARS PRIOR)AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG JUST NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. I INSISTED THIS WAS NOT THE ISSUE SO THE MANAGER HAD HIS ASSOCIATE TEST DRIVE TO COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION THE STEERING AND BRAKE SYSTEM IS FINE. NOT HAPPY I LEFT AFTER PURCHASING THE BATTERY AND HERE WE ARE 1.5 WEEKS LATER WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I TRIED TO DRIVE OUT OF WORK YESTERDAY AND I LOST CONTROL TO MY STEERING AND IT LOCKED. I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TRIED ONCE MORE THE SAME THING HAPPENED, I THEN TRY TO RESTART BUT IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DO SO. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND IT STARTED. NOT FEELING SAFE FOR MY LIFE I LEFT THE CAR AT WORK AND STILL DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT. FROM WHAT I AM READING I AM NOT THE ONLY 2014 DODGE CHARGER HAVING THIS ISSUE. I NEED THIS FIXED IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND I LOST POWER STEERING. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO AVOID BEING HIT DURING HEAVY MORNING TRAFFIC. ONCE STOPPED I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO RESTART AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER.

WE BOUGHT OUR CAR NEW, IT HAS BEEN AT THE DODGE DEALER FOR REPAIRS FOR THE SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER FOR 6 MONTHS TOTAL TIME IN SHOP. 1. THE BATTERY SAVER MODE COMES ON, AND THEN THE STEERING GETS HARD, THE ALT. HAS BEEN REPLACE, EXTRA WIRING ADDED TO ADD MORE GROUNDS. THIS AFFECTS THE WAY THE CAR DRIVES. WHEN THE BATTERY SAVER MODE IS ON THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING OR WORKS LESS. THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND RACK AND PINION HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERY DAY, IN TOWN OR ON THE FREEWAY. 2. THE RADIO KEEPS SHORTING OUT, IT'S BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. THIS HAPPENS DAILY, IT QUITS, BLEW OUT THE SPEAKERS, NAVAGTION STOPPED WORKING. 3. THE HEATER KEEPS GETTING STUCK ON EITHER 100% HOT OR 100% A/C ON COLD. SETTINGS WILL NOT CHANGE. CONTROLS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES, THE HEAT/COLD DOOR MOTOR WAS REPLACE TWICE. THE CAR HAS SPENT 185 DAYS IN SERVICE THIS YEAR. WHEN THEY GIVE THE CAR BACK IT ACTS UP IN ABOUT 5 MINS. THE CAR IS GOING BACK IN FOR THE RADIO AND BATTERY SAVER MODE AND STEERING ON MONDAY. I PICKED THE CAR UP FRIDAY AND IT FAILED LESS THAN A MILE FROM THE DEALERSHIP.

I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION WITH A 4 WAY STOP. A CAR PULLED UP TO MY LEFT SO I PULLED INTO THE INTERSECTION. I BEGAN PULLING INTO THE INTERSECTION TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND ANOTHER CAR CAME SPEEDING UP, PULLED AROUND THE CAR TO MY LEFT AND HIT MY CAR ON THE LEFT (DRIVER'S) SIDE. I WAS THROWN FORWARD AND HIT MY HEAD ON THE SUNVISOR, CAUSING A SUBDURAL HEMATOMA IN MY HEAD. THIS RESULTED IN MY SPENDING 8 DAYS IN HE ICU UNIT OF MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS

MY DODGE CHARGERS POWER STEERING WOULD QUIT BOTH WHILE IN PARK AND DRIVE, WHEN IN THE CAR AND THE INCIDENT WOULD OCCUR YOU COULD NOT TURN THE VEHICLES STEERING WHEEL. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON A TOW TRUCK DUE TO VEHICLE NOT BEING ABLE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY.

Mileage: 9,600

WHEN THE WHEEL IS TURNED, A NOISE IS BEING HEARD, SQUEAKING, IN CERTAIN POSITIONS, STEERING IS OK BUT THE NOISE IS VERY INTIMIDATING, ALSO, THERE WAS NOISE COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE BAY INTO THE CAR ONE DAY, IT STOPPED SO THAT'S OFF THE LIST, BUT AS I READ ONLINE, THE STEERING WHEEL PROBLEM IS COMMON AMONG DODGE OWNERS, AND DEALERS REFUSE TO FIX OR ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, NOT TO MENTION THAT THE VEHICLE IS FAIRLY NEW..... LESS THAN A YEAR OLD.... *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKERED, THE STEREO FAILED, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATED WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,007.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY (IN THE LANE NEXT TO THE CARPOOL LANE) THE CAR IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO THE EXTREME LEFT CAUSING ME TO CRASH INTO THE CENTER DIVIDER. DURING THIS TIME, I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. WHEN I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE TIRE WAS PULLED BACK NEXT TO THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR, BUT STILL UPRIGHT AND HEADED FORWARD. YOU COULD SEE WHERE THE TIRE HAD BEEN SPINNING AGAINST THE BODY OF THE CAR. (THESE ARE KNOWN SYMPTOMS OF A FAILED BALL JOINT) UNFORTUNATELY, THE COMPLETE TIRE ASSEMBLY WAS RIPPED OFF AS IT WAS LOADED ONTO THE TOW TRUCK. CHRYSLER HAS SINCE RULED THAT THE ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY MY "MISUSE/ABUSE" OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, IT WAS ONLY 4 MONTHS OLD AND VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. A TOTAL OF $13,000 OF DAMAGE WAS DONE TO CAR, OF WHICH THEY HAVE PLACED THE BLAME SOLELY ON ME; BASED OFF OF PHOTOS THAT I TOOK AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I WAITED THREE WEEKS FOR THEM TO SEND AN INVESTIGATOR OUT TO LOOK AT MY CAR... HE NEVER SHOWED UP. THE REPAIR WORK WAS STARTED ON MY VEHICLE WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION. (COVER UP??) THE BODY SHOP (WHICH IS AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE I INITIALLY PURCHASED THE CAR) HAS SINCE ADVISED ME TO LET THEM FINISH THE REPAIR WORK, AND ATTEMPT TO TRADE THE CAR IN. I HAVE EXPRESSED TO THEM AND THE CHRYSLER GROUP THAT I WOULD NOT FEEL SAFE IN THAT CAR IF IT WAS FIXED. I ALSO FIND IT UNFAIR THAT MY INSURANCE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE AND FAULTY PART. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THAT ACCIDENT, I HOPE THAT OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WILL COME FORTH SO THAT LIVES MAY BE SAVED IN THE FUTURE AND INJURIES PREVENTED. *TR
