NHTSA Complaint #11205920 — 2010 DODGE JOURNEY

I STARTED MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY AND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I BEGAN TO GO AROUND A SHARP CURVE AND REALIZED I HAD LOST ALL POWER STEERING. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN A CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THEN ALMOST A BARRICADE. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO SOMEWHAT GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. MY WIFE AND 10 MONTH OLD BABY WERE ALSO IN THE VEHICLE. I LATER LEARNED THAT THE POWER STEERING RETURN LINE HAD RUPTURED. I WOULD CONSIDER THIS A ISOLATED INCIDENT AND NOT A VEHICLE PROBLEM IF THERE WASN'T ALREADY A RECALL FOR OTHER DODGE JOURNEYS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.
