I have been working with fca since 8/31/16, so for 28 days now, that i have been without power steering. i filed my first complaint on, or around 9/12/16. i experienced the exact same symptoms as stated in nhtsa pe14022 while driving down the highway at apporximately 65mph. every warning light went off flashing, service transmission message, service power steering , and tach, and speedo would drop to zero , and i would lose engine power, and power steering. i captured the incident on video, and provided the video to nhtsa, i will again provide a link for the video here : https://youtu.be/e96hvqpep10 . in dealing with fca llc, they refuse to replace the electric hydraulic power steering pump that was fried from this incident occuring. fca is saying that it was the "2 year old mopar battery" that caused the incident, and refuse to replace the ehps pump that worked perfectly fine before this occured. i replaced the alternator per nhtsa recall no. 14v-634 a great deal of time prior to this incident occuring. fca is trying to circumvent having to replace the pump by changing the origin of the means to the battery, instead of the alternator. i have been extremely frustrated with how fca refuses to acknowledge all of the proof given to them. i am not alone in this, there had been many complaints filed with similar results as mine in dealing with fca. it's time for nhtsa to do something to remedy this issue with fca. fca offered to replace the $1400 ehps pump if i pay a $500 co-pay, i refuse to accept this offer based on the principle of the matter. the true origin of all of the issue's i'm currently having, is from the original alternator that was in the car for a year and a half initially, and during that time it was improperly charging the battery that possibly caused the battery to ultimately fail on 8/31/16. please see attached files. failure mileage 81332

On august 29th 2016 i was returning(driving on us20) home from some official business, when my dash started flashing, all the warning lights would flash, the speed displayed would go up, and down , and the car started changing gears. there was a ticking sound coming from my gear shift, like it was trying to select gear. the power steering light , and service transmission message keep coming up as well. i would intermittenly lose power steering during this, and power from the engine would lag also. i have a three minute, and thirty-five second video of what was occuring. i contacted some mechanic friends that work on indiana state police chargers, and they thought it could be the battery shorting out. the next morning i replaced the battery, and installed properly with positive post first. this seem to resolve the dash flashing symptoms, but i then had no power steering at all. i took to our local dodge dealer in lagrange, in they ran a diagnostic analysis, and determined the electronic power steering pump was no good. the power steering pump worked perfectly fine with no issues at all, ever, before these electrical issues occured. this vehicle is used to transport the us congressman, when he is in the district on official business, and we need it repaired asap. it is my opinion, the power steering pump was destroyed by the electrical issues concerning the recall on this vehicle. it is also my opinion that fac llc should replace the power steering pump at no cost per the consent order pertaining to this recall. i am trying to get the video to email, at this point, the video is to long to email.
