I'm driving mi dogde hard steering

Filed Oct 23, 2023 · Steering · DE

While driving the vehicle the steering became very difficult, to the point I could not control my car and had to pull over. The steering seem to have locked up while driving. I had it towed to auto repair shop which I was advised I had to change the power steering pump. That's not in my budget.

Power steering failure while I was driving. Luckily this did not result in an accident. no lights or warnings just went out

Filed Feb 4, 2021 · Steering, Suspension · 81,000 miles · AR

The steering started grabbing and sqealing around 81k miles when I turn. Sometimes it would become very hard to control when slowing down to turn such as at red lights or in a drive thru. No lights or sensors ever came on. From what I have read online there are several 2013 dodge chargers with the same issue. This is very dangerous and expensive to have repaired. I opted to have it fixed but I feel this issue should be looked into. I had the gear rack and pinion and power pump replaced.

Without any warning or signs of failure, the power steering will completely go out when making a left turn. For younger drivers that have never driven a vehicle without power steering, this will make them crash. This is a police pursuit vehicle, so we make left turns at higher rates of speed than average driver. This could kill a pedestrian, the driver, another driver of a car they would hit. Reading forums, this is happening a lot and very expensive to fix for the average person. Please get this to recall status. We service our vehicles frequently and it gives no warning that it is not working, just steering failure.
