2015 Ram 1500 Steering

Power steering became stiff and eventually quit. After driving to destination steering returned to very stiff condition. Risk safety involved a 20 mile curvy 2 lane road. I do not feel safe continuing to drive this vehicle.

Driving down the road and the steering wheel light came on and I slowed down and tried to turn and it was locked in position and had to have it towed. Now I'm stuck with no vehicle as mine is about 3 hours away from home. Waiting on parts to come in.

Traveling at 60MPH on a highway in the middle lane when my truck lost complete power steering. It felt as if I had zero control over my truck at a high speed. I managed to slow down and made it onto the shoulder without crashing. Had my truck towed to Dodge Chrysler ram dealership. Before dropping it off I saw there were at least 10 recalls for my truck that I mentioned to technician. They plugged my truck into their scanner and the technician got in my truck and drove it right into the shop bay. I’m unsure how he was able to maneuver the truck after plugging it in. After diagnosing the problems with my truck they called to tell me that none of the recalls affected my vehicle and they weren’t repairing anything. My gas tank also detached from my vehicle while driving and I knew that was covered. Over a week arguing and proving they are responsible to repair it. They repaired the gas tank and refused to look into the rest of recalls. I could’ve died and hurt many others driving by the loss of power steering traveling at that speed. Truck was fine then randomly loses full control. There are open recalls for my exact truck with this exact issue. The dealership refused to acknowledge any of it.

My electric power stear started to go in and out as I was driving. It got very hard to stear and as I was trying to turn would cone back on causing me to drive off the road into a ditch. Now dose not work at all

The power steering was intermittently not working at slower speeds. This went on for 4 months. Now the power steering has completely stopped working which happened while driving making it extremely difficult to control.

My 2015 Ram 1500, Electronic Power Steering stopped working while driving on a two lane road putting myself and others in serious danger, the wheel abruptly became difficult to turn and maneuver the car, causing me to drift onto the shoulder. The car had to be towed as it was unsafe to drive, and once diagnosed by a mechanic the whole unit has to be replaced as they are not serviceable.

Electric power steering would randomly fail. No inspections have been done due to it being recently, no warning lights.

The vehicle starts but the steering wheel won’t move. It’s very stiff and takes two pairs of hands to turn it to the left or right.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel failed to turn in the intended direction. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a failed electronic power steering rack. In addition, the contact was informed that the electronic steering rack was internally short-circuited. The contact was informed that the electronic power steering rack needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 164,000.

Sudden & unexpected power assist failure of the electronic power steering system (EPS). It had an intermittent failure for approximately 3 seconds before total failure then the steering warning illuminated in the instrument cluster. I feel that this absolutely is a safety issue, as the steering is extremely difficult to operate without the rack being powered, much more so than old style power assist, say if the belt came off of an older generation power steering system. There are no OBD2 codes associated with this failure.

I was driving my ram 1500 and the steering all of a sudden got really hard to steer. It felt like it locked up on me. Then. It broke free. It kept doing it all the way home.

The power steering assist is not working and it can be replicated. Very hard to turn and over steering a safety issue, Accident risk as wheel does not return to straight position. There were no warning lights at all. I called stellaris customer service and documented but advised that my vin number was not on the safety recall list which is why I am reporting this. They said I can repair at ,y own expense which I can not afford to do. My case number at stellaris is 94706058

Feels like the steering keeps going in and out one second it is okay the next it is very hard to steer were you can barely turn the wheel at all at any speed

There is intermittent steering lock, that typically happens at slower speeds and when returning back to center/straight. When it happens, there is also a warning chime that occurs. It just started happening in Sept 2025 and has continued to occur since then.

Failure of power steering system

Electric Power Steering Unit suddenly failed upon start-up of vehicle. This truck manufactured in Feb. of 2015 but DID NOT receive NHTSA 16V-167000. The Safety Recall indicates RAM 1500 trucks manufactured from Jan. 22, 2015 to Sept. 13, 2015. This truck is within manufactured recall dates so why isn't it flagged?

So those problem has been reported and delt with but continued ongoing investigations for my vehicle. I have a 2015 ram 1500 that at 100,000miles and now experiencing issues with my steering. Have ran vin and no outstanding recalls. My problem is almost like the eps stops working for brief seconds while turning at slower speeds. The problem comes and goes, no noises, lights or codes just physical hard to personally steer my truck at times.

the electronic power steering went out while operating the pick up on a city street and I was unable to steer the vehicle which created a safety issue for the pedestrians and passengers. There were no warnings or messages indicating a problem prior to me losing steering capability. I pulled over but had to get the truck off the roadway so I drove without power steering to the repair shop. This ‘repair’ cost me $183. The repair shop said they checked for recalls with my VIN, but there wasn't anything so I paid for the repair and drove home. The very next day, the power steering went out while driving on a city street again. I took the pickup back to the dealership for further repair. In researching this issue, I noticed there was a previous recall on the 2015 and 2016 electronic power steering in the Ram trucks for this very reason. I was advised by the dealership that my VIN was not on the recall list. I also called the Ram recall center and they verified this to be true. I addition, I mailed multiple letters to the RAM complaint center but have never heard from them. I called the RAM complaint center and again was told my VIN wasn't on the recall. I expressed my concern regarding other VIN's that weren't on the recall but have experienced the safety concerns for the RAM drivers, passengers and any pedestrians or other drivers near the RAM with the issues.

Power steering fails randomly at low speed leading to emergency corrections and jerking of the wheel which could cause an accident.

Complete power steering failure happened twice on my truck. First time was at around 150000 miles and failed while I was driving. I was driving straight and suddenly the power steering completely failed. I replaced the steering rack with a used rack from a 2013 RAM 1500 and that one failed at 235153 miles. The second power steering rack failed on vehicle startup. The date and mileage listed in the additional details are for the second power steering rack's failure. The original steering rack failed around 2021 and I was traveling around 40-60 miles per hour.

Ram 1500 has intermittent power steering loss that snaps the steering wheel back to straight. I almost crashed taking a right turn as the power steering attempted to turn the wheels straight mid-turn. I was able to park the vehicle safely but no lights illuminate on the dash aside from the split-second the system malfunctions. The car does not show a code or anything for the issue and proceeds to show normal dash indicators while stationary except when you attempt to turn the wheel. This is EXTREMELY dangerous as if you do not catch the 0.5 second indicator flash you wouldn't see there is an issue with the power steering system. I believe my truck was impacted by the same issue that affected other 2015 Ram 1500's electric power steering that resulted in a recall. However mine was not included in the recall.

I was driving and my truck lost all steering. I was in the middle of turning and I was unable to steer. I was almost rear ended and broad sided at the same time. Thank God the other drivers were paying attention. I spoke with my mechanic and he said that this was a common issue with my truck and this make and model. So I went online and looked and I have attached a screenshot of what I have found.

2015 Ram 1500 was driven into the garage and parked. 2 weeks later when restarted, the power steering would not work. Light in dash says Service Power Steering and also the check engine light is on. Have replaced battery, and checked all fuses, which were good. Due to the fact the truck cannot be steered, am unable to take it to a dealer for service.

Power steering fault at highway speed multiple times, difficulty turning wheel. Intermittent and sporadic issue. "Service Power Steering" intermittently shows on dash.
