2016 Dodge Charger Steering Problems

Unknown/. When Press on brake car still moves. Also when put in parked car will move forward or backwards a few inches. Steering wheel does not feel right as if feels not secure when driving.when trying to go in right lane on freeway steering wheel was not all the way responding as if felt like it was loose and not connected to what pairs it’s spose to be. And almost crashed

Vehicle was diagnosed as needing a new drive shaft i see a recall for 2016 dodger chargers how do we have this covered?

The power steering goes in and out completely loosing power steering while Maneuvering A curve in the road it completely stops or if it's already out it will come back on while steering so your giving a lot of force then suddenly you have power steraing again you harshly turn to almost swerve off the road or towards traffic.

as i was driving getting ready to make a turn i suddenly lost control of my car. The steering wheel became stiff and was unable to move it ultimately causing me to crash, Dodge/Chrysler needs to get there stuff together and do something about this, this is ridiculous, would not recommend buying anything involved with the brand whatsoever

There’s multiple issues I’ve had with this car since day one. One of them almost causing a crash on the interstate going 70mph. The car shut down though the lights remained on and the message service ESC electronic stability control came on, service AWD system, service electric power steering, service brake system and at the time I just left a certified dodge dealership where they did a “” flash recall on the engines computer. Me and my infant child were stranded for over 5 hours until the car decided it would start back. This power loss caused the power steering to lock up and no movement besides me coasting to get over into the emergency lane on the interstate almost being hit by multiple vehicles. The Service ESC came on numerous times since then and still keeps coming on and dodge says it’s nothing and clears the codes. The drive shaft bolts backed out and caused my drive shaft to snap in half costing me over $1700.00. The sec system never works properly it stays stuck in awd mode and seldomly goes in RWD mode. When turning traction control off it automatically kicks into awd not sure if that’s suppose to happen but makes no sense if so. Also the turn signal switch on the steering column is faulty causing the wipers to come on any time you use the turn signal or turn the wheel to make a turn in the vehicle. That has caused me to almost wreck more times then I can count. This car and this cars year make and model definitely has a lot of safety issues and should be investigated by the manufacturer. On the date below I checked February 22, 2022 due to this issue being persistent I can look for the old invoices where I had to replace my drive shaft if needed just email me

WHILE DRIVING STEERING COLUMN BECAME VERY TIGHT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN WITH AN INDICATOR STATING POWER STEERING ASSIST OFF. SERVICE SYSTEM. I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET.

CAR STARTING TO MAKE A STRANGE RATTLING NOISE - TOOK IT TO SHOP WAS TOLD DRIVE SHAFT IS COMING APART CAR ONLY HAS 74,000 MILES. WAS ALSO TOLD REAR SHOCKS ARE BAD, REAR BRAKES PADS ARE VERY LOW AND REAR STABLIZER BAR (SUSPENSION COMPONENTS) HAVE ROTTED OUT BUSHINGS. A YEAR AGO THE CAR DOORS STARTED TO FALL APART BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS.

MOTOR MOUNT BLOWS OUT DUE TO IT BEING FILLED WITH HYDRAULIC FLUID CAUSING ISSUES WITH STEERING AND BRAKING. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THE CAR CAUSING IT TO MOVE AROUND WHILE DRIVING ANY SPEED WAS ON THE FREEWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED.

I PURCHASED 2016 DODGE CHARGER ONE MONTH AGO FROM CALIFORNIA AUTO DIRECT IN MONTCLAIR. WHILE SIGNING THE PAPERWORK, WE QUESTIONED A $1,000 DEALER CHARGE WHICH THEY EXPLAINED WAS FOR A THOROUGH INSPECTION BEFORE PUTTING THEIR CAR ON THE LOT TO SELL (ALL LIES). SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR ON 3/7/20, THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES. I TOOK THE CAR TO A "DODGE" DEALER AND THEY FIXED A RECALL, OIL LEAK AND REPLACED A MISSING CALIPER, OLD BATTERY. AFTER COMPLETING ALL THE REPAIRS, THE CAR STALLED ON ME AGAIN. EACH TIME THE STEERING AND BRAKES LOCKED UP. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NO CODES AS TO WHY THE CAR JUST STOPS WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I CONTACTED DODGE.COM ONLINE CHAT AND THEY TOLD ME TO LET THE DEALER TRY AND WORK ON IT AND USE THEIR RESOURCES. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. I READ ABOUT RECALLS ON OTHER DODGE CHARGERS AND CHALLENGERS THAT HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS, UNFORTUNATELY NOT M YEAR... 2016.

MY POWER STEERING WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. IT MAKES IT VERY EASY TO LOSE CONTROL. I HAVE TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF MY CAR, WAIT 10-30 SECONDS, TURN ON MY CAR, AND HOPE IT DOESN'T DO IT AGAIN.

2016 DODGE HELLCAT FRONT STRUTS REPLACED IN MAY 18 2018 NOW THE STRUTS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM CAR ISN'T DRIVING STRAIGHT AND STRUTS ARE ON BACK ORDER SINCE SEP 22 UNTIL NOW. BOUGHT THE CAR 9/2/18 AND THE REDDING DEALERSHIP USED CAR MANAGER DAVE BIRCH AND THE OWNER STEVE ROBERTS HAVE BEEN UNPROFESSIONAL IN TALKING TO ME. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE STATUS ON MY CAR AND IS THIS A NORMAL SITUATION AND STANDARD PROCEDURE AFTER BUYING NOT ONE BUT TWO CARS AND TAKING A CAR IN FOR REPAIRS NOT HAVING THE CAR WITH LESS THAN 7016 MILES AND AFTER REPAIRING A SCRATCH ON THE BACK BUMPER AND HAVING TO REPLACE THE TIRES WHICH SHOULD'VE BEEN REPLACED BEFORE PUTTING THE CAR ON THE LOT, BECAUSE THE SALES AGENT AND USED CAR MANAGER HAD TO TEST THE DEPTH OF THE TIRES WHICH THEY SHOULDN'T HAD TO CHECK IF THEY WOULD'VE JUST REPLACED THE TIRES IN THE BEGINNING ALL THIS COULD'VE BEEN AVOIDED NOW THERE'S A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD WHEN THE CARE WAS PURCHASED WINDSHIELD, THE OWNER AND USED CAR MANAGER ACTUALLY ASKED '' WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT FROM US DAVID WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT US TO DO FOR YOU '' AFTER I ASKED IS THIS A NORMAL SITUATION AND PROCEDURE. WELL AFTER THE USED CAR MANAGER WAS RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL TO ME I WAS RUDE TO HIM AND THEN WHEN I ASKED TO SPEAK TO HIM HE WAS NOT TAKING MY CALLS ANYMORE AND LETTING ALL MY MESSAGES GO TO VOICEMAIL SO WHEN THE MANAGER DECIDED TO DO THAT THAT'S WHEN I TALKED TO THE OWNER STEVE HE STARTED ACTING THE SAME WAY THEY DIDN'T WANT TO TALK TO ME AND SWITCHED ME TO GUY THE SERVICE PART MANAGER. IF THIS IS HOW DODGE DEALERSHIPS OPERATE THEN I'LL NEVER RECOMMEND ANYONE FROM BUYING A CAR FROM ANY DODGE DEALERSHIP OR ANY DODGE VEHICLE FOR THAT MATTER I DON'T WORK DUE TO THE REDDING WILDFIRES BURNING DOWN MY HOUSE AND BUSINESS WHICH I OWNED A PARTY BUS COMPANY AND WILL PURSUE THIS TO THE VERY END LUCKILY FOR ME THIS IS A SMALL TOWN & THE PEOPLE OF REDDING

MY WIFE BOUGHT ME A 2016 DODGE HELLCAT LABOR DAY WEEKEND SALE, THIS WAS A PRESENT 9/1/2018 I BOUGHT THE LINCOLN 9/2/2018 SHE BOUGHT ME THE HELLCAT. WHEN MY WIFE WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY NEVER TOOK MY WIFE OUT TO TEST DRIVE THE CAR OR GAVE HER THE CAR FAX REPORT OR POINTED OUT ANY DEFECTS. THE DEALER ALSO TOLD MY WIFE THAT WE WERE THE SECOND OWNERS. I HAD TO BUY A CARFAX REPORT TO FIND OUT AND ARGUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP THAT I WAS THE 3RD OWNER. MY WIFE BOUGHT THE HELLCAT 9/2/2018 AND I HAD IT BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP 9/14/2018 FOR MULTIPLE ISSUES 1. RATTLING IN THE FRONT EVERY TIME DRIVE OVER A BUMP 2. THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL TO THE RIGHT. 3. A PIECE OF PAINT ON THE BACK BUMPER WHERE THE TRUNK MET THE BUMPER HAD DAMAGE. 4. TIRES WHERE BALLED ON THE INSIDE TIRE AND LESS THAN 1/32 ON THE OUTSIDE TIRE. ALL THESE ISSUES WERE A FIGHT AND SHOULD'VE NEVER BEEN QUESTIONED, THE DEALERSHIP KNEW ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND I STILL HAD TO FIGHT, I ENDED UP PAYING FOR 2 TIRES THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR FOR 49 DAYS AT THE CROWN MOTORS OF REDDING. THE ONLY ISSUES RESOLVED WAS THE TIRES AND PAINT CHIP. THEN 11/12/18 TO 12/3/2018 THE CAR WAS BACK IN THE SHOP A SECOND TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AT THE DODGE ROSEVILLE AUTO MALL TO FIX THE RATTLING PROBLEMS IN THE FRONT. IN BETWEEN THE DATES FROM 11/12 ' 12/3 THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME UP AND SAID MY VEHICLE WAS READY. MYSELF AND THE SERVICE MANAGER TEST DROVE IT AND DISCOVERED THAT THE NOISE WAS STILL NOT FIXED. 12/3/2018 WE DROVE IT AGAIN AND THE NOISE WAS FINALLY FIXED BUT THE PULLING TO THE RIGHT STILL APPEARED TO STILL BE HAPPENING. I WAS TOLD THAT'S COMMON AFTER A WHEEL ALIGNMENT I WANTED TO DISAGREE, BUT I HAD NO MORE FIGHT LEFT IN ME ESPECIALLY AFTER FINDING OUT ABOUT MY WIFE'S MEDICAL PROBLEMS. I'M JUST DISGUSTED WITH THE WHOLE SITUATION ESPECIALLY WITH THE OWNER OF CROWN MOTORS AND I HAD A CASE WITH THE BBB THAT I WON.
