When starting my car the radio sometimes don't come on. I have to put the car in park shut off the car and restart it in order for the radio to come on. When driving and listening to the radio it goes in and out as if the dj is trying to block out profantiy but that's not the case. Also, when driving and I make a U-turn it feels as if the steering wheel is trying to lock up.
I was pulling into my driveway and as I was turning the car all of a sudden died and the wheel was hard to turn and the brakes locked up. I tried to start it again but it would just turn over but start fully.

Whenever I try and turn my steering wheel it is very hard have to use alot of kuscle. Doesn't matter if you are stopped trying to turn or going an average speed. It is worse when not at a complete stop.
May 25 2020, 2012 Dodge Charger SE. I was parking the vehicle in a residential area and tried to make a left turn to straighten the car, the service power steering light came on and I'm not able to turn the steering wheel in any direction. Took the vehicle to the mechanic and he changed the fuse 4 different times and it popped on him. No one has any remedies to correct this issue that's obviously now an ongoing problem with Dodge Chargers throughout different years and models. Please have a recall performed for the parts needed to remedy this situation. The vehicle should not be on the road under these conditions.

So, I've had a problem with the electric P/S pump with it making grinding noises as I turn and locking up. I did end up replacing it because the dealer near me neglected to tell me there was a recall on it and wanted to charge me to fix it. The pump I replaced it with is starting to do it again... I want it replaced with a brand new oem pump.
Power steering fails, making it difficult to maneuver hard turns. This has caused me to go off the road and nearly wreck/strike other cars. After much research this is a common issue in these cars. It occurs at city and highway speeds. It's hard to steer at high and low speeds.

My 2012 Dodge Charger (bought new) when turning sharp to left, U turn it gets stuck and hard to turn. I have spoken to several Dodge Charger owners, different year but same model and make car owners who has or had same problems. This is a safety issue, it costs thousands to fix and should be addressed with Dodge and recall sent out on cars immediately. This problem not turning and steering getting stuck could cause a major accident!
