My power steering line breaks in the cold. it has done it several times and i've had to replace it. done it while parked and off and while driving down the highway.

Power steering return line ruptures in cold weather. there is an open recall for same make, model, and year but my vin number is not under that recall. recall #s08. i have had this issues since i bought the car used in 2013. every year when it gets cold out i start the vehicle and the line burst leaking power steering fluid everywhere. i have not had the money to replace the lines and this has been happing for 5 years now. this has now created a seal on the power steering pump to leak as well. now i have power steering fluid all over my entire engine because of the pump leaking everywhere. i called dodge and they were not helpful told me it's a vin specific issue and there is nothing that they can do about it when i'm clearly having the same exact issue. please help!!

The power steering hose ruptured causing failed steering control almost leading to the vehicle hitting the house. this is the third time the the hose has ruptured. the two other occurrences was winter 2017-2018. this only seems to be an issue in cold weather. i see there is a recall for this issue involving this model if it contains a engine oil cooler. seem there are thousands of people describing this same issue on line in the us and canada.

After setting outside this past winter my car sat outside. with winters passing i'm experiencing the problem described in s08. my power steering return hoses have ruptured. my power steering fluid is leaking terribly and i'm having to replace it daily. my vin is ...9t133353. i'm 100% certain that chrysler/dodge has missed some vins in this issue.

Power steering return line hose keep leaking. i don't know why it leaks.
