2015 Ram 1500 Steering

I have replaced the rack and pinion on my truck 3 times so far. It keeps failing. This is unacceptable. There is obviously a problem and Ram has to address it. How is it possible only certain trucks qualify for a recall regarding the same exact thing. My truck is currently at the shop getting the rack and pinion replaced again. As they were trying to get the truck into the bay, due to the power steering not working, it was crashed into a pole. This needs to be resolved asap!

My truck wheel does not turn and I’m getting the service power steering on my dash with the red wheel and exclamation mark!!! Please advice why isn’t there a recall yet this been going on for a couple years now

Truck completely lost steering control while maneuvering. When trying to turn left the truck would violently turn the steering wheel to the right, and vise versa. Or just not turn at all. This is a major life safety issue and needs to be recalled immediately.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at lower speeds, the steering wheel would become stiff. No warning lights were illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 101,000.

The power steering went out as I was about to drive the 2015 Ram 1500. The vehicle is available for inspection. A warning light appeared on the dash..red steering wheel with red exclamation mark. I was not able to drive the truck as I could not turn the steering wheel. I had it towed to the local RAM dealer who gave me an estimate to replace steering rack and pinion. The truck has been garage kept and has less than 5,000 miles on it !!!

While turning into a parking lot from the road, the steering locked up and was impossible to turn left or right. Basically stuck in the middle of the turn lane and parking lot. Flatbed tow truck was called and transported to a local repair shop.

I experienced partial loss of electric power steering or (EPS) while driving. if I turn the wheel roughly 30 degrees either way the power steering is out. There was no crash but this did happen while driving and I did have difficulty making a turn, if there was more traffic or if I was on a tighter road I could have easily hit someone else or run off the road. There were no warning lights or messages that indicate the problem before it happened or after. I've had a local dealership (where I bought the truck) and another independent service center inspect it and confirm that the EPS system is the problem and needs to be replaced. The local dealership wants over 6k for the repairs and refuses to work with me on that until this is an official recall. My understanding is that there is an open investigation on this issue, is there any timeline on when it could be resolved? My vehicle is available for inspection if necessary.

My power steering has suddenly became very stiff when turning left or right and the suddenly loosens up causing the truck to quickly shift left or right. It is every turn into a road or stop sign and there’s hesitation or a glitchy jerky feeling around curves going normal speed limit. There were no warning signals lights or errors before during or after the incident.

Whenever the ambient temperature gets below 40 deg F, the "Service Power Steering" warning message appears and the steering doesn't work. The fuse is OK. The battery is OK. The connections going to the steering rack don't have any corrosion on the pins. I opened the steering rack to see if there was any water infiltration that might be causing a short on the circuit board, but it is dry. I saw the 2015 Ram 1500 had a recall for steering issues, but my VIN didn't qualify for the recall. There are no parts available to fix this problem, which tells me this is a widespread issue with the Ram 1500 trucks.

When driving steering becomes stiff and almost uncontrollable. It happens intermittently however becoming more frequently and more stiff each time. No warning lamps or messages before, during or after it happens. When steering is stiff it makes it difficult to steer, like there is no power steering at all. It can be difficult to keep my truck in its correct lane while driving. This has been happening for several months now, I am not sure of specific date it started happening. Happens at various speeds between 35 and 65 MPH

Electric power steering rack module went bad. This is a known problem and can cause accidents.

Power steering hard to turn truck when driving.Very stiff.When driving on curvy highways Going right on slightly (curves) wheel fights back going left.Like a pulsating pull. With power steering you can turn the wheel with your finger right to left, but can’t with the stiffness. Haven’t had it checked out yet.

The vehicle experiences a loss of power steeing assist, extra steering effort is required especially at lower speeds, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. The electric power steering is problematic.

Steering is very hard all of a sudden

Electronic Power Steering unit/rack failed. Vehicle is available for inspection, although would need to be towed. My safety and other drivers around me has been put at risk due to losing all power steering while driving down the highway. All it would take is losing power steering in a curve on a major highway to cause a major accident. The Electronic Power Steering units on multiple year model Ram 1500's has been reported, my truck alone has lost steering once in October, and again for half of November up until today, December 3rd. My individual EPS has not been inspected by anyone. There is no warning light when the power steering fails, you will be driving along just fine and the next moment, your steering is lost and extremely difficult to move. Once you limp to safety and shut your truck off, a "Service Power Steering" message will pop up and remain on your dash until your power steering unit is replaced.

The steering in the truck prevents us from safely making necessary left and right turns when backing up and driving forward. It has caused near accidents and had it investigated at the local RAM dealership. The steering is defective, but will cause us thousands of dollars to replace because a recall has not been solidified. Fix this please for the safety of my children.

going around a curve and the steering wheel locked up. The steering wheel is unresponsive at times and seems to have dead spots when turning. There is also a dry screech when turning the steering wheel at low speeds.

Steering gets very stiff. Sometimes can not turn the wheel. Not good if it's moving in traffic.
