Turning onto on-ramp of a highway I was moving about 20 miles an hour when the engine died and I lost power steering. Additionally, I felt a very tough transmission shift 2-3 seconds before I lost power steering and when the engine died. The car took multiple attempts to turn over. A very loud whirring noise began in the engine/transmission area and is yet to stop.

2014 Dodge charge police car loses all power steering when turned left. We have 4 of these models at our police agency and all 4 are doing the same thing. After speaking with several other police chief's, they all stated that the electrostatic power steering pump was bad and it was a multiple thousand dollar fix for them. Our local Dodge dealer says to fix each fleet car, the cost will be over $2000 per car. With this many issues, there should be an investigation and a recall. Further, when the vehicle is in motion and the steering wheel is turned left, all power steering is lost.

Experiencing difficulty turning left, especially quickly. Seems to lose power steering or begins to lock up and not want to turn left. Operates normally while turning right. Happens at low speeds, have not tested at high speed due to safety concerns.

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 this defect.

I was driving my 2012 Charger sxt, and the car suddenly went into battery saver mode. I had pulled over to google it on my phone, and my car was starting to display the symptoms in the p60 recall. The battery light came on, the traction control, abs, check engine lights, they all came on. Then as I was pulling into a parking space at Dodge the center screen shut off, I lost power steering, the car shut itself off. Somehow the windshield wipers ran a few cycles. The dealership informed me that my car had a 180 amps alternator, that it was not part of the p60. My car had just reached 119000km (74000mi), and the average mileage of Chargers with 180 amps alternators appears to be around 106000km (66000mi). The road that I was on, it followed the a winding cliff. If the problem had been more severe I would certainly have died, either gone into the rock face, off the cliff, or into oncoming traffic. The replacement alternator was over $800 cnd, that's before the inspection, before labor, and if the battery fried in this ordeal, it doesn't include that either. It doesn't cover the rental car I had to get. Obviously, Chrysler-Dodge-fiat had to do a massive recall with one alternator, is it really a stretch to think that the other alternator that they installed in other vehicles were defective as well? I looked up the cost of a replacement online according to official Dodge specifications for the Chrysler 300 / Charger - they're listed at about $200-250 cnd, why is the one Dodge selling me over $800? is it because they realized they have to put in something of much higher quality and output so that this doesn't happen again? there had better be a recall about this - people will get severely hurt because of this.

While merging onto the interstate my engine shut completely off; I lost power steering and all throttle control. After pulling onto the side of the road I was able to turn the ignition on and drive away like normal. I have a 5. 7l hemi and the car has 37,700 miles.

Chrysler has issued a recall regard the ignition switch which includes a list of their vehicles including the 2008 Dodge Charger, which I drive. The recall states: Chrysler says ignitions keys on certain vehicles may not fully return to the "on" position after they are turned to start the engine. Instead, the key ends up between the "on" and "start" position. In that case, the windshield defroster and windshield wipers won't work. The greater danger, which Chrysler calls "less probable," is that the key moves to the "accessory" or "off" position. If that happens, the car's engine will turn off, it will lose power steering and the air bags won't deploy. I am experienced this problem while driving my vehicle which prompted me to see if there was a recall. I reached out to Chrysler and questioned why I received recall a recall notification for the airbags but not for the ignition. I was advised that my VIN is not on the list for the ignition concerns. The Chrysler agent advised me that my VIN # was not on the list for the ignition problem. I advised the agent that I am experiencing the issues outlined in the recall. She advised that it was nothing Chrysler can do until my VIN number is added to the recall list. I asked if there was an escalation process, since driving with a faulty ignition is extremely dangerous. She advised me that there was not a process to escalate my concerns even though I provided her with my VIN number and she could clearly see that it was for a 2008 Dodge Charger sedan. Please assist in the resolution of the ignition switch concern.

On August 29th 2016 I was returning(driving on us20) home from some official business, when my dash started flashing, all the warning lights would flash, the speed displayed would go up, and down , and the car started changing gears. There was a ticking sound coming from my gear shift, like it was trying to select gear. The power steering light , and service transmission message keep coming up as well. I would intermittenly lose power steering during this, and power from the engine would lag also. I have a three minute, and thirty-five second video of what was occuring. I contacted some mechanic friends that work on indiana state police Chargers, and they thought it could be the battery shorting out. The next morning I replaced the battery, and installed properly with positive post first. This seem to resolve the dash flashing symptoms, but I then had no power steering at all. I took to our local Dodge dealer in lagrange, in they ran a diagnostic analysis, and determined the electronic power steering pump was no good. The power steering pump worked perfectly fine with no issues at all, ever, before these electrical issues occured. This vehicle is used to transport the us congressman, when he is in the district on official business, and we need it repaired ASAP. It is my opinion, the power steering pump was destroyed by the electrical issues concerning the recall on this vehicle. It is also my opinion that fac llc should replace the power steering pump at no cost per the consent order pertaining to this recall. I am trying to get the video to email, at this point, the video is to long to email.

Power steering line blew out at the crimp. Lost all power steering. Damaged pump. Major safety issue while driving. Second line to go bad in 2 years.

While driving on the highway at 65mph the vehicle shut off and I lost power steering. I was barely able to avoid being hit during heavy morning traffic. Once stopped I was unable to get the vehicle to restart and needed to be towed to the dealer.

This incident started occurring in September of 2014 but I always thought it was a "hiccup" and never really paid it any mind until it starting happening much more frequently. After I fill up my gas tank (I don't over fill) my car has intermittent engine stalls causing me to lose throttle response and my power steering. Sometimes the car has enough rpm to restart the motor but most of the time I have to shift to neutral and turn the key to restart. This is happening while driving down the interstate!! scares me to death. Now I have this stalling issue every single time I fill up. When slowing down is when the incident is most prevalent but even taking turns its happened and I lose power steering. This is a safety issue.

Complaint concerning: NHTSA preliminary evaluation #pe14022 on Saturday 9/13/14 I was driving home from the store on a residential road going 35 miles per hour and my vehicle began to flash the abs light. Then the emergency brake light began to flash, the touch screen went blank. My radio and a/c shut off, the windows would not roll down. The mileage meter read 0, than started to read miles up to 80 miles per hour. I lost power steering, and the power brakes!! my car was 100% inoperable!!! I tried to coast to the side of the road, almost hitting several motorist and pedestrians as I had not control over the breaks!!! my daughter and I were almost killed b/c I was unable to stop or steer and almost had a head on collision!! I coasted to the side of the road, when my car completely died!! would not recognize the key, could not open the trunk, etc. I had my car towed to my Dodge dealer, they notified me that the alternator went out, drain the battery completely! the alternator on this car is too weak for the size of the vehicle! repairs cost me $1,500 total, not covered under powertrain warranty! this car is only 2 yrs. Old! this should not happen with a new car! I contacted Chrysler corp. Office and they did not offer me any assistance! some one will die due to this type of vechicle flaw! there needs to be a recall on this issue!!!!!!!!!!!.

I was driving home with my 2 kids on the freeway. Battery saver mode message came on. The lights on the dash started flickering. The abs light and electronic stability lights went on and off. As I was exciting freeway the rpms started jumping up and down. Ac started blowing hot. Radio shut off and the gas pedal bary worked. After that I lost power steering and had to muscle the car around a car in front of me and into a parking lot. The alternator died on me. I have read many other people having the same thing happen to them.

This is the third time that all the idiot lights on the dashboard come on and then we proceed to lose the power steering and brakes. Chrysler's lemon law division states that they will fix it and that my issue is not a lemon law case. I simply have requested them to take the car back and have their engineering department take it apart to find out what is going on with I and to give me a new vehicle. Each of the three times this has occurred, we have been extremely fortunate to be in a parking lot only traveling a couple miles per hour. This issue was suppose to have been resolved already and has not apparently. I no longer trust my safety and life nor the safety and well being of others on the road if I were to drive this car again. The only remedies that are acceptable to me are to remove all the electrical wiring and computers and replace them with new or to exchange the vehicle. I fear for my safety with this car. Please note that I also have a 2011 Chrysler 300c that has been fine with no major issues.

I was pulling into a parking spot at work when it felt like I lost power steering. I was able to force the car to turn to avoid hitting another vehicle. However, because the parking lot was almost empty, I did try driving to see if it was actually loss of power steering. Every time I turned to the left, I heard a clicking noise, but it didn't feel like the power steering was gone anymore. Right after work I drove the car to the garage I deal with. While driving I noticed that the turn signal would not disengage. The mechanic found that the clock spring was broken. He informed me that the clock spring controls the airbag along with other features. I feel this is very dangerous! it could have been a disaster if I had been traveling at a high rate of speed when the clock spring broke. The mechanic told me that the clock spring is made of plastic. I'm not sure why something so important wouldn't be made of something a little more durable. I feel there should be a recall for this part before someone is seriously injured.
