| Description of the problem | While driving, i lost the steering and all power. With what forward momentum the car had and muscle, i was able to pull over. Once i put the car back in park, i was able to restart it and it ran fine. Since that time, this has happened on three additional occasions again in august 2013 and most recently, it happened twice within a 2 minute time period this past week. During these past 2 incidences, i can say for sure that the traction light also came on. After having a diagnostic done on the car in both august and this week, it showed "no codes". The service dealer claims to be stuck at this point and dodge is offering no solutions and not admitting they have heard this complaint before. |
