STEERING
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET COMING BACK FROM THE GROCERY STORE TRAVELING BETWEEN 25-30 MILES PER HOUR AND HAD TO MAKE A LEFT TURN COMING UP, I PUT ON MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL TO TURN AT AN 4 WAY INTERSECTION AND THE SWITCH WAS HARD TO PUSH DOWN, WHICH NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I PROCEEDED IN MAKING MY LEFT TURN AND AS I WAS TURNING I COULD HEAR SOMETHING IN THE STEERING WHEEL POPPING CONSTANTLY AND THE TURN SIGNAL STAYED ON AND THE ESP LIGHT SOUNDED AND THE ORANGE ESP ICON LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH. AS I WAS TURNING THE WHEEL BACK TO THE RIGHT, HEARING THE POPPING THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME AND I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL AT ALL. I HAD TO COME TO A STOP, PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON SO TRAFFIC COULD GO AROUND ME. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRIED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO THE LEFT THEN BACK TO THE RIGHT AND THE STEERING WHEEL CAME FREE BUT THE STEERING WHEEL YOU COULD STILL HEAR THE POPPING. I PRECEDED TO GO HOME AND THE STEERING WAS OKAY. I CHECKED THE STEERING FLUID AND IT WAS FINE ONCE I GOT HOME. WHEN I USE MY TURN SIGNAL, THE TURN SIGNAL GETS STUCK AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. IF I TRY TO TURN THE SIGNAL OFF BY THE SWITCH IT JUST TURNS ON THE LEFT SIGNAL AND VICE VERSA. I DROVE IT LATER ON THAT DAY AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY MORE PROBLEMS. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS JUST SOME FLUKE OR ICE STUCK UNDERNEATH THE CAR FROM THE WINTER WEATHER. MY WIFE DROVE TO WORK YESTERDAY AND SHE STATED ON HER WAY HOME SHE TRIED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND USE THE SWITCH TO TURN RIGHT AND IT WAS STIFF LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO TURN ON AND SHE PROCEEDED TO TURN RIGHT AND AGAIN THE ESP LIGHT CAME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTING POPPING AGAIN AND IT GOT STUCK IN HER MAKING A RIGHT TURN. SHE STATED SHE HAD TO TURN IT BACK TO THE LEFT REALLY HARD SO SHE WOULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT MAY BE A RECALL? ....UPDATED 02/06/17 *BF

TIMING CHAIN BROKE CAUSING ADDITIONAL ENGINE DAMAGE. HAD TIMING CHAIN REPLACED WHEN BROKE AT 59K MILES.. EVER SINCE REPAIRED LOTS OF MISFIRES ON ODD CYL. NOW RUNNING SO BAD HAD IT LOOKED AT AND SAID NOW CAM SHAFT AND LIFTERS NEED REPLACED. ALTHOUGH TIME CHAIN STILL INTACT, I BELIEVE THIS DAMAGE WAS FROM THE PREVIOUS REPAIR OF TIME CHAIN THAT SENT OUT PIECES INTO ENGINE CAUSING MORE PROBLEMS DOWN THE ROAD. DODGE WON'T COVER WITH TIME CHAIN RECALL. ONLY FIX TIME CHAIN NOT ALL THE DAMAGE THAT THE CHAIN BREAKING SENDING METAL PIECES INTO ENGINE PROBLEMS DOWN ROAD.
