Tl* the contact owns a 2009 dodge charger. The contact stated she was advised by the dealer that the vehicle was under recall. The recall repair was performed by the dealer. Following repairs, the contact stated the steering wheel would exhibit an unusual grinding when turning. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer three times in regards to the failure. The dealer was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.
I was pulling into a parking spot at work when it felt like I lost power steering. I was able to force the car to turn to avoid hitting another vehicle. However, because the parking lot was almost empty, I did try driving to see if it was actually loss of power steering. Every time I turned to the left, I heard a clicking noise, but it didn't feel like the power steering was gone anymore. Right after work I drove the car to the garage I deal with. While driving I noticed that the turn signal would not disengage.
