STEERING
THE POWER STEERING BECOMES VERY RIGID AND DIFFICULT WHEN MAKING A QUICK OR SLOW LEFT TURN WHEN DRIVING ON THE ROADWAYS. IN A PARKING LOT THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES DIFFICULT TO TURN LEFT AS YOU MANEUVER OUT OF A SPACE. THE STEERING BECOMES RIGID AS THE CAR MAKES A GROANING/GRINDING NOISE. THE CAR ALSO MAKES A WHINING/HIGH PITCH NOISE WHILE TURNING. NO CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED PERFORMED LIKE THIS. IT HAS GOTTEN SLOWLY BUT STEADLIY WORSE AND NOW I HAVE BECOMED CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. THE CAR ONLY HAS 48,800 MILES. THE PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO. I WILL NOW HAVE IT LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC THIS WEEK. ITS POSSIBLE THE POWER STEERING IS FAULTY, OR THE RACK AND PINION. THE POWER STEERING FLUID HAS NOT BEEN CHECKED BY ME SINCE OWNING IT AT 38,000 MILES. I NEED TO CHECK ASAP. THE STEERING FLUID RESERVOIR IS HIDDEN BEHIND THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL WELL, SO THIS MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON TO CHECK QUICKLY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE IS APART OF THE T36 RECALL FOR FAULTY ALTERNATORS; MY ALTERNATOR DIED LAST FRIDAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT ON THE ROAD, I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE BEFORE IT ACTUALLY DIED, BUT DUE TO THERE BEING NO "GENUINE PARTS" AVAILABLE I AM STUCK PAYING FOR A RENTAL. I AM ACTIVE DUTY AIR FORCE STATIONED IN ENGLAND, AND THE GARAGE ON BASE CAN ORDER A NEW ALTERNATOR AND INSTALL IT, BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE MOPAR CERTIFIED GARAGE OFF BASE THAT SINCE THE PART IS NOT A GENUINE PART THEN I AM UNABLE TO RECEIVE A REIMBURSEMENT. I VERIFIED THIS WITH THE MILITARY AUTO SALES MAIN OFFICE IN GERMANY AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD STILL SUBMIT THE RECEIPTS WITH HOPES OF BEING REIMBURSED. BEFORE I TELL THE GARAGE ON RAF LAKENHEATH TO GO AHEAD WITH ORDERING THE PART I WANTED TO HEAR FROM THIS OFFICE IF I WILL BE REIMBURSED OR NOT. KEEP IN MIND MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION IS DEAD AND I AM PAYING FOR A RENTAL OUT OF POCKET, IF THE GENUINE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK I COULD HOLD OUT AND WAIT BUT THE LONGER I WAIT THE MORE IT SEEMS LIKE JUST TAKING THE PART THAT IS AVAILABLE IS THE CHEAPER OPTION AS THERE IS NO DATE ON WHEN GENUINE PARTS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
I HAVE A 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER. I WAS DRIVING AND MADE A LEFT HAND TURN AND THEN MY ABS CAME ON AND NOW I CANT USE MY CRUSE CONTROL AND I CANT TURN THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF OR ON . CALL DODGE AND THEY ARE TELLING ME IT IS A CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE PRICE IS $589.00 AND THE LABOR WILL BE ABOUT $300.00. I THINK THAT'S IS A BAD PART TO PUT IN A CAR.

STEERING
HAD TO REPLACE RACK & PINION STEERING AT 40,000 MILES. DIFFICULT TO STEER ESPECIALLY TO THE LEFT. ON ONE OCCASION WHEN EXITING A LEFT HAND CURVE THE VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO TURN BACK TO THE RIGHT. I HAVE GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND HAVE LEARNED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS BUT DODGE HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. I WAS ADVISED THAT MINE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SO I HAD IT REPLACED VIA AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FROM DODGE BUT THEY REFUSE. AT TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED OR MOVING SLOWLY, IT LITERALLY TOOK BOTH HANDS TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE HAD 22,000 MILES WHEN I PURCHASED IT. I THOUGHT THE STEERING WAS JUST "STIFF" BUT NOW I REALIZE THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THE DIFFERENCE AFTER REPLACEMENT OF THE RACK & PINION. I CAN NOW TURN THE WHEEL WITH ONE FINGER. THIS APPEARS TO ME TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND QUESTION WHY DODGE HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL, PARTICULARLY WITH AS MANY CASES I ALONE HAVE FOUND OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS.
