Steering Column problems of the 2015 Dodge Challenger

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Dodge Challenger. While driving, the steering wheel seized without warning. The contact quickly activated the hazard lights and shut the vehicle off and back on to reset the computer. The vehicle was taken to south chicago Dodge Chrysler Jeep (7340 s western Ave, chicago, IL 60636, (773) 476-7800) where it was diagnosed that the steering column needed to be replaced. The dealer indicated that there was no warranty or recall for the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.

The steering column starting making a low pitched whining sound for the past 4 months. The car was stopped and parked and the warning came on about the servicing the power steering and now the car has no power steering. Codes: u11e8-00- & u0001-00- and the car is now 1500 miles beyond the warranty. We are going to push to the get this fixed under warranty but at 37k miles this shouldn't happen, and after researching online this apparently is a common problem with the power steering module located on the the rack and pinon and the whole thing will have to be replaced. This should definitely be a recall as this is a major safety hazard.
