AROUND 70K MILES I NOTICED MY CAR NOT WANTING TO TURN LEFT, ESPECIALLY WHEN BRAKING. THE WHEEL SEEMS TO LOCK UP AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I ALSO NOTICED A KNOCKING, RATTLING TYPE NOISE, THAT SEEMS TO COME FROM THE WHEEL AREA, WHEN TURNING EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT AND AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. I TOOK MY CAR TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED NEW BRAKES, ROTORS AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS REPLACED. WHICH I HAD THEM REPLACED. I TOOK CAR BACK BECAUSE IT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING, I WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT SEE OR KNOW ANY REASON WHY IT'S STILL HAPPENING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CODES PS401 AND P06DD WAS REPORTED. THE LOCKING OF THE WHEEL IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE THEIR IS A KNOCKING NOISE IN MY FRONT RIGHT WHEEL, ALMOST SOUNDS AS IF SOME BOLTS ARE LOOSE. ALSO WHEN PULLING IN TO BACK UP, WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL A CERTAIN WAY THEIR IS A FUNNY CLICKING SOUND IN THE STEERING WHEEL, AND FUNNY SOUND IN THE BRAKE WHEN I AM BACKING MY CAR INTO MY DRIVE WAY. I BELIEVE THAT THIS MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH A RECALL THAT HASN'T BEEN LOOKED INTO.

THIS TIME IT TOOK OFF MY WINDSHIELD WIPER LEVER, IT HAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED MY INTERIOR AND UNFORTUNATELY THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THAT WHICH IS NOT FAIR. REMEMBER THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN AND ROD IS VERY HEAVY AND DOES MUCH DAMAGE WHEN IT FALLS IN YOUR LAP WHILE DRIVING.
