“The right rear suspension trailing link that bolts to the sub frame the sub frame mounting bracket sheared off the sub frame. This car has was a rental car before I purchased it. The data recorded was retrieved and nothing shows this was caused by me. The left side has visible wear and stress in the frame, I do not feel safe in this car even if this car is repaired. This caused a minor accident making me spin when it sheared off. It looks as though this was a manufacturing defect with the welding of this part.”
NHTSA complaint #11174380, filed 2019-02, 95,855 miles“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. After speaking with several other police chief's, they all stated that the electrostatic power steering pump was bad and it was a multiple thousand dollar fix for them. Our local Dodge dealer says to fix each fleet car, the cost will be over $2000 per car. With this many issues, there should be an investigation and a recall. Further, when the vehicle is in motion and the steering wheel is turned left, all power steering is lost.”

During this time, I had no control over the vehicle. When I was finally able to come to a complete stop, the tire was pulled back next to the front driver door, but still upright and headed forward.
