2002 Dodge Durango check engine light illuminated continuously, black smoke was seen coming from tailpipe. Mechanic determined this was because steering wheel fluid leaking onto the computer. The steering wheel had been making a clunking and whining noise when turned. This was noticed prior to the problem being diagnosed.

Power steering suddenly went out. Yesterday afternoon I had my 95 yr old mother, 2 yr old grandson, son and sister up on grizzly peak in berkely and the power steering without prior signs just all of a sudden did not function. I called Chrysler 24 hr help and they send a flat bed toll truck. My 2000 Durango with 44,300 miles was towed to connell Chrysler Jeep Dodge in oakland.
While traveling about 30mph on a side street hit a dip in the street and the passenger side wheel assembly fell off into the street.
The car is hard to control (steer) and the dealer has worked on it two times and is unable to correct the problem. The star hot line was called today, and I was told to bring the car in in six days and they would work on it again. I am concerned about how safe it is on the road.
