Driving on curve on a busy highway, was unable to make slight turn until I forced steering wheel to turn. Signal light some how jammed up steering. If it was my wife she would have been in an accident because I had to apply a lot of force to turn and doing so heard something snap in the steering column. Steering is working now. But now signal light is not. I have to manually turn on/off signal each and every time.
2005 300 touring- constantly pulling to right, called dealer they said probably just the road surface! well, driving I-95 that morning 65 miles an hour vehicle started shaking, steering wheel vibrating, had to hold steering wheel to left to keep from hitting another vehicle and carefully pull to shoulder thinking wheel nuts or something was loose! to my surprise I found nothing, called dealer to bring in, "thank god" they had to keep vehicle for 4 days-rack/pinion broke almost coming completely off! the story continues, 1 month later I am battling with Chrysler due to the steering wheel now binding to left & right and they will not cover!!!!!!help me.
