Power Steering Fluid Problems of Dodge Avenger

On Monday February 23,2014 I turned my car on and after a couple of minutes it made a loud noise. I didn't know what it was so I decided to park my car in my driveway. When I put the gear into drive I felt my steering wheel stiff, and I saw power steering fluid stains on the ground. My car is leaking power steering fluid and I don't know why. Would Chrysler cover these costs? I had the same thing happen before as my power steering hose broke a few months ago. I took it to a Dodge dealer and they told me there was no recall for that and they would charge me $200. 00 just to look at it. I decided to take my car to my mechanic he was able to replace the hose for me, but this problem isn't solved yet and now I'm scared it might keep happening.

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Avenger. While driving various speeds, the contact heard a knocking noise coming from the steering column. The dealer stated that the steering shaft was leaking fluid and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 46,000.

The power steering fluid is leaking, the resevoir was completely empty and I had all the fluid all under the my car and the steering wheel is almost impossible to turn. . I live five to 10 miles from the dealership, so I went to gene's Dodge of fairbanks on 11/27/2012 at 5:30 pm alaska time. One of the mechanic came to look at my car and when I started to he knew just by the sound it was to power steering resevoir was completely empty and noticed that there was also a leak. I made an appointment for 12/06/2012 and was top off with atf+4. The next day I went to work no issues, it wasn't 3pm on 11/28/2012, my car was making the same noise and when I checked and saw that my power steering was out of fluid again so when I refilled it it took a whole quart. I called the dealership right away and took the car to them and got a rental covered under my warranty. The next day on 11/29/2012 I pick up my car and was told that the power steering hight pressure hose cracked and was replaced and that this is a common problem and that is why they keep the part in stock also that they will see me before winter is over. On 11/30/2012 from 9am I am to work a 24hr shift and so I drove to work no issues, however, between 9am on 6pm all my fulid from my power steering tank was gone and so I put some more fliud in because the steering wheel locked up and would not turn. As I went to turn the wheel to get the fluid flowing I retuned to hood to close it and as I was putting the cap back on the tank I heard the noise again as if the tank was enpty and as I look the poweering tank was empty and all the fluid was on the ground, any reasons why this may have happened other then it was -30 to -35 degrees over the night?.
