2015 Dodge Charger Steering Problems

Steering wheel is hard to turn.

At aproximately 39000 miles, whie driving down the road the electric power steering / rack and pinion died. The wheel froze up and was very hard to turn. I was lucky i was not going fast. It cost me 3900.00 for a new R&P on a fairly new car at the time. I have also been through 3 drive shaft bearings in 100,000 miles. Dodge should be sued, so many other reports of these items going... These are expensive safety issues that shat shoud be covered by the mfgr.

Oct. 2021 drove car from california to montana. No problem! Nov. 2021 Car started and power steering light came on. I had no power steering and was unable to drive car. Had car towed to dealership and said my steering rack had internal failure and i had to replace rack. Cost me $3975, 2015 Dodge Charger, 34409 miles

IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT FOR A BRIEF SECOND RESULTING IN TOTAL INOPERABILITY OF THE CAR'S MANEUVERABILITY. LUCKILY, FOR MY SON, THIS HAS TYPICALLY BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY ON A STRAIGHT AWAY. FROM WHAT I CAN GATHER, THERE SEEMS TO BE NO ANSWER TO THIS VIA CHAT BOARDS, OR ANY KNOWLEDGE OF A FIX FROM A DEALER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND DODGE SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ASAP BEFORE IT RESULTS IN THE ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLE DEATH OF SOMEONE AT A HIGH SPEED TRYING TO MAKE A CORNER. ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE FACT THAT POLICE OFFICERS ARE USING THESE CARS IN EXACTLY THIS WAY. DO BETTER DODGE, THIS IS AN ISSUE!

THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED DISPLAYING MESSAGES TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICED. IT HAS BEGAN TO NOT START AS WELL. IT WILL RANDOMLY FLASH THESE MESSAGES ON THE DASH IN MOTION AND STATIONARY POSITIONS. WHEN IT DOES, THE POWER STEERING ACTUALLY GOES OUT OF THE VEHICLE SWERVES. THE CAR WAS JUST AT A DEALERSHIP TO GET THE OIL DONE A WEEK AGO AND THEY DID AN ENTIRE INSPECTION ON IT AND SAID IT WAS FINE....IT HAS DONE THIS BEFORE 2 YEARS AGO AND THEN STOPPED ON IT'S OWN. SO THE OIL CHANGE WAS BEFORE THE ISSUES STARTED AGAIN. HAD IT CHECKED OUT AGAIN AND STILL NOTHING THROWING ANY CODES OUT. THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND WE WOULD LOVE SOME ANSWERS AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING!

STREEING MAKING NOSIE WHILE TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT

SUDDEN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ALONG TELEGRAPH ROAD IN DEARBORN, MICHIGAN.

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.

UPON START UP OF VEHICLE NO POWER STEERING, SERVICE POWER STEERING UNIT LIGHT CAME ON. NO PREVIOUS WARNING, NO NOISES, GOT THE CAR TO DODGE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAY IT IS ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING UNIT AND GEAR FAILURE. VEHICLE HAS 40,100 MI. ON IT. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, WAITING TO SEE IF IT IS GOING TO COVER A $3500.00 REPAIR

WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAILURE: DISABLES TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, AND SPEED CONTROL. I JUST HAD A SECOND SPEED SENSOR FAIL IN 25,000 MILES. AS THERE ARE FOUR OF THEM IT IS PROBABLY JUST A MATTER OF TIME ALL WILL FAIL.... A CO WORKER OF MINE ALSO HAS A 2015 CHARGER SE AND SHE HAS HAD A WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAIL AS WELL.. IN MY CASE BOTH INSTANCES OCCURRED WITHIN FIVE MINUTES OF STARTING THE CAR COLD AND DRIVING..

MY 2015 CHARGER IS HAVING POWER STEERING ISSUES. PROBLEM STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO, WHEN THE CAR WOULD JERK TO EITHER SIDE AND THE ABS LIGHT WOULD COME ON. TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW POWER STEERING RACK. CAR WAS A YEAR OLD WHEN PURCHASED, AND A YEAR LATER, IS HAVING THIS MAJOR ISSUE. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A DEFECT, OR IF SOMEONE TRIED TO MODIFY CAR IN SOME WAY, OR IF THE PROBLEM OCCURRED BEFORE IT WAS PURCHASED BY ME AND THAT INFO WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO ME. THE CAR WAS USED AS A PERSONAL VEHICLE BY THE MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM, AND WAS ONLY TOLD THAT INFORMATION AFTER I PURCHASED IT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE THIS ISSUE KNOWN, IN CASE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.AGAIN, IN MY OPINION, THIS CAR IS TOO NEW TO HAVE THIS KIND OF ISSUE, SO SOON. ONLY 2 YEARS OLD.

FIRST WAS A/C ELECTRICAL ISSUES 3 TIMES AND EVEN HAD DASHBOARD PULLED APART ALONG WITH RADIO MAIN CONTROL SCREEN GOING IN AND AS OF 4/4/2018 IM NOW HAVING ABS TRACTION CONTROL WITH STEERING PROBLEMS WHEN STARTING TURNING DRIVING..ALL ISSUES SINCE BUYING MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2016 (LEMON LAWS? PLEASE HELP) ONLY 44K MILES NOW AND DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS NO LONGER COVERED.

THERE IS RUST ON THE STEERING KNUCKLE NEAR THE U BALL JOINT NEAR THE FRONT SUSPENSION COILS NEXT TO THE FRONT TIRES. ALSO THE NAVIGATION AND UCONNECT ARE MESSING UP. *TR
