Description of the problem | While driving and preparing to turn my vehicle took control and i was no longer able to break or turn. Thankfully there was nobody in the neighbor at the time and with less than a foot from hitting the stop sign i was able to stop. I took it to the dealer where i purchased (1. 5 years prior)and they said nothing was wrong just needed a new battery. I insisted this was not the issue so the manager had his associate test drive to come to the same conclusion the steering and brake system is fine. Not happy i left after purchasing the battery and here we are 1. 5 weeks later with the same issue. I tried to drive out of work yesterday and i lost control to my steering and it locked. I put my car in park and tried once more the same thing happened, i then try to restart but it would not allow me to do so. I had to disconnect the battery and it started. Not feeling safe for my life i left the car at work and still do not want to drive it. From what i am reading i am not the only 2014 dodge charger having this issue. I need this fixed if i was on the freeway who knows what would have happened. |
