“Hi, my dodge Journey 2014 has been experiencing steering issues(stiff and hard to turn) when driving at lower speeds. I know that same Dodge Journey model and year has had a lot of recalls for that. Please verify and let me know what's the process to get this steering issue fixed under recall as this is increased risk of a crash.”
“The steering wheel locked on me while it was on drive. I could not turn it left or right. It does this at random which is dangerous. It locked as if the car was off but it wasn't.”

“A safety recall was made back on 9/7/2017 to Jack Wolf in Belvidere, Illinois in reference to the safety recall steering wheel wiring- The inspection stated they installed a wheel wiring and protection sleeve. The light has started to come back on and sound off and stays on. This should have been taken care of properly back on September 7, 2017 - I should not be having this problem again”
“WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE STEERING WILL LOCK UP, LOSE POWER AND LOSE BRAKES. HAVE TO FORCE TO TURN AND USE EMERGENCY BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR. NOT THE FIRST TIME IT'S NOW HAS HAPPEN A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES.”
