2013 Dodge Charger Suspension Problems

“The steering started grabbing and sqealing around 81k miles when I turn. Sometimes it would become very hard to control when slowing down to turn such as at red lights or in a drive thru. No lights or sensors ever came on. From what I have read online there are several 2013 Dodge chargers with the same issue. This is very dangerous and expensive to have repaired. I opted to have it fixed but I feel this issue should be looked into. I had the gear rack and pinion and power pump replaced.”

“I was driving home from work around 2am on tuesday morning 10/22/2013. I was just coming out of a construction zone and it just turned back to 55mph. I was going approximately 45 MPH when all of a sudden I heard something in the front end and the steering wheel began to shake and it started moving back and forth without me moving it. I lost all control over the vehicle and it shot me over towards the right and slammed me into the guardrail. …”

“2014 Dodge charge police car loses all power steering when turned left. We have 4 of these models at our police agency and all 4 are doing the same thing.

Further, when the vehicle is in motion and the steering wheel is turned left, all power steering is lost.”

“2011-2014 Dodge Charger tension strut. I am the fleet parts manager at a municipality in texas. We currently have approximately 100 Dodge chargers ranging from 2009-2014.

Dodge will not recognize this problem and will not warranty these tension struts after the first time...something really needs to be done as the failure rate is alarming to me and the officers that drive these cars everyday.”

“Premature wear of bushings which caused replacement of complete suspension system. $3000 later I hope my vehicle will be safe to drive again. I purchased this vehicle in 2015 and have only put 17,000 miles on it since owning it. Vehicle started just suddenly making very loud metal on metal clanking sound and lots of vibration. Bumps in road made the noise worse. I was afraid to drive vehicle until I could get it into dealer when they had an appointment available because I did not wanna injure ourselves or others. I have read in other forums that I am not the only one this has happened to. …”
