Our power steering comes and goes without warning. We did have zubek Tawas motors look at it, they say need to replace the steering assembly cost $2500, as the power steering pump is intragateed and not a solo unit, we researched and saw that we are not the only one having this problem

Electronic Power Steering failure. Lost while driving.

- Altoona, PA, USA

The vehicle power steering stopped working without warning making the vehicle very difficult to steer if at all steerable. The power steering warning light on the dash came on at the same time the issue began. This made the vehicle very dangerous to drive. Luckily I was driving on a straight and not in the middle of a curve or it would have been difficult to stay in the lane I was in. I have tried to get a service advisor at the dealership close to my home and have left messages but have not been contacted nor do they return my calls.

Loss of power steering randomly while driving and very hard to turn vehicle. Very dangerous and risks safety of myself and others because steering wheel locks up and does not want to turn while driving. I don-??t feel safe driving it like this. Local shop said it is the electric power steering issue. No warning lights.

I have a intermittent loss of power steering causing the vehicle to be very difficult to turn. Doesn-??t feel safe to drive the vehicle. I checked the number on powersteering gear and it doesn-??t match the numbers listed on the equipment safety recall vb9 put out by fca. The symptoms are identical to the one listed in the current safety recall.

Rolled over a small pothole, my speed was 3-5 mp. I lost steering. I had a mechanic checked the system, it had a c2217 code. Which is an internal steering module

- Belton, TX, USA

While driving the steering all of a sudden became almost impossible to turn. Upon pulling vehicle over an shutting down and restarting the truck, it was ok, but then did the same thing the next day, then an entire week there after intermittently. I have taken it locally to be looked at by the RAM dealer near me. Laurel Chrysler RAM in Johnstown Pennsylvania. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle.

My wife has been complaining that the steering gets stiff and unresponsive sometimes.

- Garfield Plantation, ME, USA

For the past year or so, the power steering will cut out requiring significantly increased effort. This seems to be random and comes and goes. Recently it has become more frequent including today when I was turning at an intersection, This appears to be an issue with this generation of Ram trucks so I felt I should report it.

Was driving to gym and power steering rack that everyone else is having issues with went out while driving. I was able to muscle my truck off the highway and into the parking lot of the gym. From there it was towed to a auto repair shop and quoted almost $4,000 to fix. I was able to get the part and fix it for $2,700. The part only was $2,435. We need paid back from Mopar. This is not right so many people are having the same issue. Thank you.

While driving, the power steering stop functioning. There was no accident however, it functioning properly in traffic.

I am currently experiencing intermittent power steering failure, my 2014 Ram 1500 only has about 80k miles on the clock as I barely drive it. About 3 months ago I noticed heavy/slow steering, not totally failure, but more stiff than usual. About a month following that, I noticed intermittent steering loss, luckily I noticed the problem early and was able to respond accordingly. However, due to the steering being intermittent, it is unsafe to continue using the vehicle for the time being as there is no way to know when it will cut in and out meaning the vehicle can act unpredictably. Thankfully I have another vehicle to use, but looking at the repairs, it would probably cost me close to 2000 dollars and I would rather not pay for something that expensive unnecessarily.

- Hampden, ME, USA

Truck with under 60k miles. Experienced intermitent to full power steering loss. Truck would get really hard to steer at all speeds, especially in banking curves. Would also oversteer while making 90? turns, like it had a sticky steering wheel - that did not want to return to position. My mechanic said the electronic power steering was shot and since it was a part of the rack and pinion, the entire rack needed replaced. Turns out the part is recalled on 15'-19' models, but not my '14. Although it seems to be a known issue. Dodge said to me and my mechinic seperately, that due to scarcity the part was not available, and if it was it would be $2,500 for the part alone. Dodge corporate told me that it needed to be looked at by one of their service centers. The local dodge svc center told me, that unless I showed that I did prior work at the dealership, Dodge would do nothing for me, not to waste my time or $$ on a 2nd diag. A third shop was able to find a remanufatured rack and pinion and installed it for $1880.96...and still I worry the issue will arise again. The reman part has a 3yr warranty - a part, I am told should have lasted the life of the vehicle. Although the repair was done the past couple of weeks, I have no idea if the shop disposed of it or not. The part put me at risk as it would all of a sudden stop working, while driving. The problem was reproduced and identified by 2 serperate independent service centers. No lights came on my dash. While it could have, it did not cause accident or injury, but it did put my work truck out of commision for a while.

- Gurnee, IL, USA

While driving the steering completely failed and the vehicle was extremely hard to turn. I managed to slow the vehicle without incident and drove the vehicle very slowly home. I see there is an investigation into this and I'd like to add my testimony.
