While driving down a busy highway my car began to have electrical issues with the lights blinking and display going in and out before the vehicle cut off in the middle of the road. I had three children all under the age of five.after having it towed and inspected a refurbished alternator was put in due to a recall (new ones were on back order). Last week my power steering went out while I was driving. I couldn't move the steering wheel at ali. I called the insurance company to send assistance to no avail. I replaced the power steering fuse the next day and after dropping my son off to school, it went out again in the middle of the road. Luckily, I had purchased extra fuses in the event it went out again. I took it to the dealership that did the work before, where they told me the only thing that would fix that problem would be to replace the power steering pump because its electrical. Having electrical issues that affect your ability to operate the car while you are operating it is extremely dangerous and frightening especially when you have children aboard.

My 2012 chrysler 300 limited has had two recalls (t36 & v01) at first, the power steering was affected and then the vehicle finally died. I had to stop driving the car before it died because it would not pass inspection with the t36 recall and finally, I have been unable to renew my registration. I have contacted service three times and have not received a call back.
