I was traveling 58 mph on hwy 270 in Malvern Arkansas. The power steering turned off, the emergency brake engaged and flashed, and the ABS shut off. I replaced the steering sensor with an original mopar part off of my vin number and if i turn tightly it still triggers a code. The entire sensor and spring has been relplaced. It was obvious the original part shorted out It is VERY SENSITIVE to heat, the hotter it gets the more shut down of power steering, and activating the emergency brake while driving is experienced. I bought this car new and have taken excellent care of it.

Vehicle: Dodge Charger GT Recall: SABIC Side Airbag Inflator Replacement Dealer: ourisman chrysler dodge jeep ram of clarksville, maryland Date of Recall Repair: feb 27, 2026 Complaint Description: After the dealer performed the SABIC inflator recall on my Dodge Charger GT, the vehicle immediately developed new electrical failures that were not present before the repair. As soon as I picked up the car, the interior dome/map lights stopped working, and the right‑side exterior front lighting also failed. These failures occurred directly after the recall repair, indicating the dealer likely damaged or disconnected wiring inside the A‑pillar/B‑pillar or roof harness while accessing the inflator. This creates a safety hazard, especially at night, because the right exterior lighting is inoperative and interior lighting does not function. The dealer has not acknowledged responsibility, and the vehicle was returned to me in an unsafe condition after a federally mandated recall repair.
