    I was driving on Interstate 15 North when suddenly my power steering stopped working. I was unable to adequately turn the steering wheel to switch lanes while I was moving 65mph. The light "Service Power Steering" started blinking and I was virtually unable to turn my steering wheel left or right. I was stuck in a life-threatening situation. I immediately had to put my hazard lights on, brake, and fight for my life to try to turn the steering wheel so I could pull over. I…

    All four axles and spindle nuts are literally decaying and crumbling. Its to the point the guy at the tire shop said its not safe. Being a awd vehicle it puts a lot of strain on the hubs. The car only has 65,000 miles on it.

    Began feeling vibrations in the steering when operating at low speeds, parking, etc. Repair shop indicated an issue requiring replacement of the steering gear and power steering pump assembly. Based on other complaints and online research, it seems that this is a pervasive issue, known by dodge, that can cause steering failure and auto accidents. As such, recall and replacement should be warranted.

    The power steering pump was replaced because of on and off stiffness while driving. This was very frightening because the steering wheel will not release while turning. The dealership replaced the pump about 3 times and still cannot correct the problem.

    My steering wheel when turning left or right is becoming difficult to turn and makes squealing noise when turned. When brought to the dealership it was told to me that nothing was coming up wrong with the steering on the cpu. I was told i would have to wait until the steering pump goes to make any fixes. After research many of other 2014 dodge charger users have had issues with their steering wheel completely locking or losing any control of the steering while driving at…

    My steering wheel has locked up on me while i'm driving at least 10 times if not more since i purchased my 2014 dodge charger in 2015. All these incidents where at different time periods and at different speeds ranging from 0 to 60 mph. The steering wheel would stay locked for a couple of minutes. Each time that it has happened, i've been close to having an accident either hitting someone else or running off the road. I would try to turn the vehicle off and on to see if it…

    I was driving down the city street and as i went to turn the corner the steering wheel was almost impossible to turn. It took all my strength and careful braking not to hit the car in the oncoming lane of traffic. I immediately took to a certified mechanic and they tell me the power steering pump is out. After doing a quick search online i find that this is a fairly common issue. It is so common of an issue that dodge is in short supply of new power steering pumps with only…
