Two problems related to steering wheel have been reported for the 1998 Dodge Stratus. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving into a parking lot the rubber boot is too small that it won't slide over the coupling mechanism to keep something from getting into it. The factory issued floor mat got caught in the turn coupling, and driver couldn't turn the wheel. Avoided a near miss. Contacted dealer.
Floor mat started moving while making a turn. Steering locked because floor mat was jammed around the column due to steering column mechanism not being covered. Dealer contacted, and stated it was design of vehicle. Problem still exists. Provide further information.
