2014 Dodge Challenger steering problems

Filed Apr 29, 2026 · Electrical, Steering · CA

: The vehicle’s steering wheel intermittently hardens or "locks" while in motion, making it extremely difficult to maneuver and creating a severe safety hazard. This issue remains unresolved despite two separate professional repair attempts. The first attempt cost $600.00, and the second attempt at a different facility cost $1,500.00. Despite a total expenditure of $2,100.00, the steering failure persists. The defect appears to be a systemic failure within the Electric Power Steering (EPS) or associated control modules/wiring that is not being corrected by standard repair procedures. The vehicle remains dangerous to operate.

Issue started with power steering going out for a few seconds in 2014 dodge challenger only 38,000 miles (happened twice) then before it could get serviced power steering went out with service light on (power steering resumed in about 5 minutes while I was trying to get to a safe place, service light went out also). I was in a drive thru lane, as I left it and approached road to turn right on a 45 MPH rd is when the steering went out for the 5 minutes. Really dangerous, should be recalled for free repair

The power steering fluid evaporates in the reservoir (the dodge dealer told me this after I had the fluid checked and filled in 2018 because of steering problem) and causes the steering to become very rigid with quick turning. I had to make a sudden quick right turn to avoid a car in front of me (local street) and the car would not turn as I needed. The steering groaned. The steering felt very dangerous and this was totally unexpected. I am having it serviced this week again to check the steering fluid.*dt the consumer had a second opinon who advised the power steering fluid was leaking.

One day I try to turn on my car, and it was not turning tyler was a message to check the steering wheel fluid, the steering wheel was so hard to maneuver, I took it to the dealer and they told me it was the steering wheel pump, which was really odd of them because my car is a low mileage car still. I have seen there is a similar recall for cars the same year and making model as mine.
