Power Steering Pump Problems of Dodge Challenger

Power steering just randomly goes out. Had dealership check it out. They say that it has happening all over the country on several mopar vehicles. They said nothing wrong with my pump, module or rack. Alternator recall was already performed so was ruled out. This is ridiculous!!.

I was driving my car like normal for the past 2/12 years. It's a 2013 Challenger 5. 70. My car went dead while driving. I lost control of the car, but, thank god I didn't hit anything or anyone. I ran tests on my car battery, it's good. Interesting note: I had the alternator replace six months ago on a factory recall. The Dodge dealer told me it's not the alternator, though replaced it anyway. They said it's the power steering pump and electric problem due to a wire not communicating to the bus or computer. (don't know what that means I'm not a car guy) however, I also own a 2006 Chrysler 300 that did the same thing to me on the freeway while I was driving 70 mph. Could have died both times. At this point, I don't know it Dodge is simply making cheap parts or Dodge service is trying to turn a 2nd alternator replacement into a profit. I say this because I was able to disconnect the batter, then reconnect it to pull forward on the tow truck now they are telling me the car dies when they reassemble it. I also say this because they are telling me the pump is damaged yet I'v had work done there before with no indication of a problem. I've had work and repairs done including smog checks within the last year with no negative readings indicating a problem or miscommunication. I see recalls on the electric system, power steering pump and alternator yet none based on my VIN. Meanwhile browning Dodge wants to charge me $1800 bucks.

My car shut down after every lights on my dashboard appeared. Would crank and there was no warnings ahead of time to let me know there may hve been any issues. When my car shut down I was in drive on my brakes at a light. Had to have my car towed to dealership to find out it was the electronic power steering pump $1800. 00 later.

When backing out of a parking space the electronic power steering stopped working almost causing an accident. Extremely hard to steer far worse than any manual steering I have driven in over 50 years. Only 17,500 miles on car. Steering pump on national back order. Car was in motion. City and highway both.

Replace hydraulic power steering pump after the storm now my car is hard to turn it is bad in parking lots. I have to use two hands and I'm a guy.

Pulling out of my driveway, steering became very tight turning to the left,with a sound of rubber on rubber in the front end and steering column. When car was straight and accelerating forward the steering became normal. Progressively, the steering upon slowing down and turning corners was still to the right and less stiff to the left. My car has the electronic hydraulic power steering system. I was told that I needed a new ps pump at a cost of $1,434 for the part alone.

I was in the city of old san juan, in motion driving down a two lane street. I was in a straight way I had been pressing the brake down to 55 miles approaching a a slight curve ( not even hard, the curve only deviated few feet to a right and then a couple feet to left, in pr traveling to the in the historical area there is a cement like structure no more than 10 inches serving as a barrier between the two car lanes and the bicycle path). At that moment I lost control of the vehicle, brakes felt weird completely pressing them down, in motion. When I slightly pump the brake again going toward a full press the brake and wheels didn't respond. I tried getting control and as I left the last corner and steer I lost control hitting the barrier. My front tire went off!! rolled down hill. After that my car got scratch at the bottom driving on my brake pad. I bought the car the same day!!!!! I can't stress enough the situation. I used to drive older models and I've never had this encounter. The street that it happen was asphalt. The dealer and bank I got my loan, denied my civil code rights, had to go through the insurance. I didn't sign the document stating I gave the rights to the car. The dealer independent Dodge dealer took back the car and never compensated me nor dealt with me again. They never gave me an alternate vehicle for my trouble while I fixed the problem. They never called back! I tried getting a good lawyer but after they tested what happen in the black box they got to the conclusion I was 40 mph, 5 seconds, prior to the moment the incident took place, so I wasn't going that fast pushing my brakes losing control from the left lane towards the concrete I couldn't get a lawyer in puerto rico. I felt they stole my hard earned money, $5,000 I paid upfront, plus the loan and plus the insurance money and the lawyer I had to pay for the aggravation.
