Yes, you have a bad clockspring in the steering column. There was a recall on most of them. All you can do is bring your VIN# to the local dealer and they can check it and see if you are eligible. Being the 2nd owner shouldn't disqualify you. Recalls are different from warranty work.

Call Chrysler Corp. Service. If the clock was never replaced before 70,000 miles, you will have to buy it. If it WAS replaced before 70,000 miles, then the VEHICLE has a lifetime warranty on the clockspring. Chrysler will tell you if it was ever replaced before and where. According to NTSB, it does not matter if you are the second or tenth owner.
