Last week i face a serious issue with my Dodge Challenger v6 2013 steering, while im taking a U turn (20klm /25klm) without any warning lamp or message the steering becomes hard that I couldn’t turn it and i used both hands to turn and caused my car to go on the side walk with the front right wheel. Starting from that time every time i take u turn its hard and i need two hands to turn but right turn so smooth, i went to dealership they said probably you need to change steering rack and pinion. I refused as it’s expensive and it happen by it self.

Power steering just randomly goes out. Had dealership check it out. They say that it has happening all over the country on several mopar vehicles. They said nothing wrong with my pump, module or rack. Alternator recall was already performed so was ruled out. This is ridiculous!!

I was driving my car like normal for the past 2/12 years. It's a 2013 challenger 5.70. My car went dead while driving. I lost control of the car, but, thank god I didn't hit anything or anyone. I ran tests on my car battery, it's good. Interesting note: I had the alternator replace six months ago on a factory recall. The dodge dealer told me it's not the alternator, though replaced it anyway. They said it's the power steering pump and electric problem due to a wire not communicating to the bus or computer. (don't know what that means I'm not a car guy) however, I also own a 2006 chrysler 300 that did the same thing to me on the freeway while I was driving 70 MPH. Could have died both times.at this point, I don't know it dodge is simply making cheap parts or dodge service is trying to turn a 2nd alternator replacement into a profit. I say this because I was able to disconnect the batter, then reconnect it to pull forward on the tow truck now they are telling me the car dies when they reassemble it. I also say this because they are telling me the pump is damaged yet I'v had work done there before with no indication of a problem. I've had work and repairs done including smog checks within the last year with no negative readings indicating a problem or miscommunication. I see recalls on the electric system, power steering pump and alternator yet none based on my VIN. Meanwhile browning dodge wants to charge me $1800 bucks.

Challengers steering always goes out. Their are forums all over the internet about the horrible steering issues of dodge vehicle ranging from brand new models to older models. This issues makes it difficult to turn which is a safety hazard. Also the book inside the challengers show that there is a power steering reservoir but it does not have one so even if low fluid was an issue we could not fix that.

The steering is real stiff when the car is first started. It gets exceptionally stiff when turning left.

When backing out of a parking space the electronic power steering stopped working almost causing an accident. Extremely hard to steer far worse than any manual steering I have driven in over 50 years. Only 17,500 miles on car. Steering pump on national back order. Car was in motion. City and highway both.
