2017 Chrysler Pacifica: clunking or noise when steering

Filed Oct 22, 2026 · Steering · IL

My electric steering has been making noises for a long time. The dealership failed to find the noise the first three visits. On the fourth visit it was verified but they told me that Chryler's flex care warranty denied it. I hear it is a very common problem and Chrysler does not want to address it.

The steering is loose. While turning there is a knock, turning into a parking space or backing out of a drive way, while in park and turning the steering wheel. I took my van in 1 and a half weeks after my warranty expired and they said I needed a new rack and pinion which was going to be over $4000,00! The dealership advised me to call chrysler to see if they would cover it, they did not. After further research, it is shown that if a rack and pinion is bad, the front end could fall apart at any time. I only have 36k miles on my van that is 2 years old. That is ridiculous to me, and this is a safety concern. Especially in a family vehicle such as a van.

Air conditioning blows cold then hot and stays hot until it is turned off and then back on multiple times in 10-20 mile range. Stalled at a red light. Turned off when backing up in my driveway. Parking break light keeps popping on when turning knob for changing gears.
