I'm driving mi dogde hard steering

- Clifton, NJ, USA

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

- Siloam Springs, AR, USA

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.

While driving my battery light come on. That is due to alternator malfunction. The first time it happen all my electrical devices where going on and off. And my steering wheel locked and unlocked due to being a electronic steering. What I did I tried to pull over and stop at a safe place and waiting and the vehicle when back to normal mode except the battery light stayed on and the message in my cluster that said "battery safe mode". so I went back home and checked the voltage on my battery that read 11.8 to 12.3. so I took it to the dealer for the recall of the alternator. The dealer replaced it and said it's ok now. I took it home and on the way home it happen again and I took it back to the dealer and got it checked. And they said they found corrosion the signal plug of the alternator. They cleaned it and said it ok now. A week passed by and it happen again all electrical started to turn on and off including the steering locking up and the battery light came on. And I took it back again to the dealer. And now they said they have to charge me to diagnose the issue if it's not the alternator. Charging system is not part of the alternator and they charge for that issue. Isn't the charging system part of the alternator like the voltage regulator that is in the PCM? if that is a bad component and making the alternator malfunction it's a problem for not making any current. All this happen in motion on street and on highway. All this started on June 3 2020 till now June 25 2020.

Loss of power steering..when stationary and when in motion.. extremely dangerous and scary...I have also heard from others owners of the pursuit model having the same problem...this should be a recall!

When driving, power steering randomly turns off and displays "service power steering system". it decided to shut off power steering midway through a right hand turn causing me to drive over the sidewalk and almost into a parked car in the parking lot on the other side of the sidewalk. This is absolutely ridiculous, I dont feel safe letting my kids ride in this car at all, especially since I never know when my power steering is just going to randomly stop working. I was so excited when I bought this vehicle because of all of the positive safety ratings, however, because of this issue, Dodge/Chrysler has lost all of my business. Especially when a new power steering pump is $1280 which is more than a complete motor for some cars. The lives of my children are worth more to me than they seem to be to Dodge. Unless Dodge can do a recall on this part and fix it, since I am not the only person who has had these issues, this car will be going to a scrap yard, im not willing to sell it to someone else and possibly have their lives on my conscience. Consumer testimony is longer than 2000 characters, please see attachment.

Driving in the city or highway the power steering will stop working and becomes uncontrollable/hard to get to the edge of the road. This condition is very unsafe and could cause an accident. The power steering will intermittently not work first start in the morning and turning corners. Checked and topped off the fluid level. It worked fine for two or three days and starts acting up again.
