Steering wheel jerked when turning or backing out of a tight spot, intermittently. We then received power steering error with the icon on the dash. Now approx 3 months later we lost power steering. Dealers say the entire front rack needs to be replaced because of an electronic part. The rack is at least $2500 and then multiple dealers say at least another $1500 in labor. I do not understand how a car only 2 years old can be subject to this type of repair for an electronic component failure. When starting, we can steer easily but after 100 yards or less we get the failure icon and lose power steering. This clearly seems a fault at the design/manufacture level. I cannot find the cost of the electronic component yet, would like some help with that and also with Chrysler being made to fix thi

My 2015 charger is having power steering issues. Problem started a few months ago, when the car would jerk to either side and the ABS light would come on. Took it to a Dodge dealership and was told it needed a new power steering rack. Car was a year old when purchased, and a year later, is having this major issue. Not sure if this is a defect, or if someone tried to modify car in some way, or if the problem occurred before it was purchased by me and that info was not disclosed to me. The car was used as a personal vehicle by the manager of the dealership, where I purchased the car from, and was only told that information after I purchased it. I just want to make this issue known, in case others are having the same issue.again, in my opinion, this car is too new to have this kind of issue,

I have owned my car for a little over 4 years and I just bought a two pack of lightbulbs in sept 2022 for the headlights. And I replace my bulbs every couple of months bc they go out. This cannot be normal. This is becoming expensive as a 2 pack is $50 x3 times a year. I've had them replaced at a shop where it was over $125. I've checked to make sure I'm buying the right ones. And I just find this to be crazy. As I have to go buy my 4th pack tomorrow this year.

Both headlights have went out on my charger. First it was driver headlight I could only drive with my bright lights on. If I switch them to low beam there would be no light on the driver side. After about a week trying to get in the dealership the entire light stopped working. I replaced the bulb nothing happened. Contacted dealership again there was wait. Another week went by and my passenger headlamp stopped working completely. I now have to drive with my daytime running lights and my fog lights. Brand new bulbs in both headlights still no power and no lights. No bright lights, no low beam lights. I have searched for the answer on the web. I have seen that there was an issue with the 2010-2012 chargers with the electrical wiring burning out and causing this issue. I'm wondering if the sa

I was driving my vehicle around 65-70 MPH on the freeway when I went to step on my break pedal the vehicle did not slow down when I went to change lanes due to this my gs pedal would not go faster after either. A indicator light appeared in my cluster but I was unable to read it due to my panic of loosing my breaks and gas pedal. Late that night I took it to huntington beach Dodge and Jeep service and service advisor bob said that there was a system code that indicated loss signal to breaks and gas pedals. The repair order indicated that the break and gas pedal was not calibrated properly causing the issue. This is great concern to being that it is a safety matter that can cause a accident or that can result in great bodily injury or death. I had tow friends in the car with me at the time

Car was not running correctly had it checked and cylinder 6 was missing which was an issue in the factory. The vehicle was under warranty at the time. Took it in to lampe Dodge visalia california, was told a loaner or rental had to be approved by corporate. This was november 8th of 2019, I have called and no answer they refer me to different people and no answer or rental car. I have been a previous Dodge owner, and this will be the last vehicle I purchase from you. I have been patient and the dealership is no help neither is corporate. I am not asking for anything other than what is right, the most frustrating thing is the lack of follow through or communication from dealer and corporate. The corporate person we spoke to was curbin and he had no info and blamed it on his supervisor for no

I received a letter in january of 2019 about a recall to replace the pab inflator on my 2015 Dodge charger se. I went to viva Dodge where I got my vehicle and they said they would put in the order for the part and give me a call when they're ready to fix it. It is now november of 2019 and they have yet to contact me. I tried calling them multiple times throughout the year and they assured me the parts were being ordered but I have not heard back about going in for repair. It is concerning to me considering faulty of this part could lead to serious injuries and even death if ever in an accident.
