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.

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.

Electric power steering randomly stops working. Can be very dangerous when you-??re turning sharp and expecting it to return to center after the turn and it doesn-??t.

- Kenai, AK, USA

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.

The electric power steering fails when in low temperatures, Usually below 40 degrees. After the truck gets up to temperature the power steering starts working. It has not been inspected by anyone and it is unknown if it could be available for inspection. I have read on multiple forums of people having the same issue. There were no warning lamps present. It is a safety issue because it will happen when you are first taking off. For example it power steering will work coming down the driveway then when you get on the road it will go out, and after the truck gets to running temp. It will start working again.

I do not know if they documented it in their system. It currently was not failing when they checked for codes/errors. warning steering wheel indicator on dash during failures.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the steering wheel became firm which made the vehicle difficult to operate. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the failure was due to the electric power steering assist being inoperable. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and determined that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 179,000.

Electric power steering has failed on the vehicle. We are aware of a recall on trucks manufactured at the same time and wonder if our vehicle should be included in the recall.

- Abingdon, IL, USA

I was driving down the highway at 65 when all of a sudden I lost my steering. No warning or anything.

- Billings, MT, USA

While driving at all speeds I lose my power steering. It appears it comes and goes while driving which is very dangerous. I did research and found that an open investigation is going on for 2015 Ram models that were built between January and September of 2015. Mine was built in June of 2015 but does not have an active recall. The cause of this is potentailly contaminated electric power steering unit circuit boards. I called Ram hot line and they said that my truck was not affected even though it falls within the date of mfg range and it is doing the exact same thing others described.

- St. Augusta, MN, USA

My 2015 ram steering locks up, can't turn the wheel, highly unsafe. There is a recall for 2015 Ram's that were manufactured from jan-sept. Mine was manufactured in June. A recall for the same issue I'm having, but for some reason my vin isn't attached to that recall. This is highly unsafe, it is clearly a manufacture defect. And rams helpline is completely unhelpful.
