2003 Dodge Neon 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic a lot miles

My car is soo broke! Some day in November, I would say, as I went to start it and proceed to drive off, everything just went horrible! The night before when I parked it, everything was fine and completly normal, granted that it's not the best car (03 dodge neon). The next morning I got in, backed out of the garage, put it in drive, went to turn the wheel and it was pretty much impossible! I thought it was just like a one time glitch, so I drove to the stop sign and tried to make a right turn and same thing. It just wouldn't turn! SO I kicked it in reverse and forced it back into the garage, where it has sat every since!

Hi Tabatha,

So I take it the only problem with you car is the Steering. Correct?

If so have you looked under the hood to make sure the belt or belts are still in place? Also have you checked the Power Steering Fluid?

There are 3 Possible causes for your problem.

The belt has come off or broken

The Power Steering Pump has Failed

Or

The STeeing Rack and Pinion has Failed

O my goodness! We bought a new steering/ serpentine belt and changed it ourselves and it works perfect! I cant believe it! Thanks you soo much it saved us having to pay to get it towed, shop cost, labor and parts! And let me tell you we know nothing about cars and fixing them, but it worked!
