Took the truck in for a recall reflash of a controller. Two weeks later, at 58mph, without warning dashboard lite up numerous symbols/codes and engine shutoff, losing power steering and power brakes. I steered vehicle onto side of road, and engine would not restart. Took first dealership 4 weeks to diagnosis a crank position tone wheel, and sensor failure. Vehicle was returned then 2 weeks later, while refueling at a gas station same failure occurred with diesel engine stoppage, and no restart. Vehicle was taken to second Chrysler dealership. Vehicle has been in second dealership for 11 weeks, "undergoing diagnosis". as of 6/6/2019, no solution found. Frankly, I do not believe they have a clue what is causing the random engine shut off, nor how to repair it. This is what makes it such a frightening defect. It appears random, with absolutely no warning until the dashboard lights up and instantaneously the engine shuts off. How am I suppose to drive a vehicle with my two children around, when it could stall at any time at any speed" I've been lucky twice. Once at 58mph on a two lane road, once stationary. What if it fails merging on to an expressway, or crossing a railroad track"

I am having intermittent episodes where it is hard to turn the steering wheel. It feels like when a vehicle is low on power steering fluid but this vehicle doesn't have a power steering pump.

Power steering stops working occasionally while driving

- Batavia, NY, USA

Within the last 30 days, my truck has lost power steering capabilities numerous times. It varies when this occurs as well. It could be a full highway speed, driving slowly through a parking lot or even while stationary. Vehicle was taken to a service center for diagnostics and was told the steering is one electric unit so I did some research with my mechanic and found a limited recall on 2015-16 Ram 1500S for the power steering ECM. At this point, I believe this is an ongoing problem and should be a full recall. At this time we cannot find the parts to fix the vehicle because they are sold out everywhere due to such high demand for replacement parts most likely due to the same issues I'm experiencing with my vehicle.

Starting a few months ago power steering would occasionally go out but then it would correct itself so I thought it was just a glitch. Now it has begun again and it has not corrected itself. Occurs when turning at any speed.

The power steering is cutting out randomly without notice. This can happen when turning or changing lanes or driving in a straight line. We are afraid to drive it for fear of a crash injuring us or others. There is an existing recall on this problem, (S19) but we miss it by 1 month. Seeing we have the same symptoms as others with same model and year, we feel this recall should be expanded.

- Des Plaines, IL, USA

Went to the gas station everything was fine. I go to leave and I have no power steering. I had to drive through our city to get on the highway to get home. It was extremely hard to steer all the way home especially the slower I went. When I got home I see on the internet that they have a problem with the power steering assist module. But there is not a recall for this yet. This happened with only 72000.

My truck keeps looking up the steering wheel. Every morning when I first start the truck I have to let it sit for about 45 minutes. After the 45 minutes I turn the ignition off and on again and the steering will unlock. Its unlocks when the transmission temp reaches about 190 degrees. Sometimes the steering locks while I'm driving. I have reached out to doge and they said for me to take it to a dealer and pay for an estimate then to send it to them for them to see if they'll cover it. My have taken my truck for other recalls to planet Dodge in miami and they've told me they've had plenty of trucks like mine come in with the same issue. This is very dangerous being sometimes when I am turning its locked up. I am aware there are recall for this same issue from Dodge they say just not my truck but my truck is affected with the same problem they need to include more trucks in that recall. If you would like you can inspect my truck any time. This problem started about 6 months ago and gets worse every day. Please help. When the trucks power steering is locked it say power steering maintance required.

I'm having issues with my 2015 Dodge Ram 1500 a couple days ago it gave me a message telling me I had to get my power steering serviced. During that day I let my vehicle run for 20 minutes and it worked fine after that. However, a couple days prior to the incident when I was turning on a busy city street coming back from dinner the steering locked up out of nowhere and I had to use extra force to not cause an accident. The next day, I visited my local dealer planet Dodge and I informed them on the issue and they ran my VIN and said they couldn't do anything about it because it doesn't have the recall which is ridiculous because the recall for that particular vehicle was for the vehicles manufactured before September of 2015 and mines being February of 2015. I'm starting to get very concerned for my safety and others as prior to my visit at planet Dodge I met some owners and state troopers having the same issues as me and not getting the service they and their vehicles need in order to function correctly.

Steering locks up. Every time I go to start my Dodge Ram 1500 2015 the steering is locked. The truck needs to be at high temperatures to unload clean the steering. Sometimes when you start driving it locks up again. This issue is going to go cause accidents. The Dodge dealer in miami Florida planet Dodge is aware of these issues on these vehicles. There should be a recall

When I woke up my Ram's steering was locked and I was shocked because I never had an issue like this so I waited and waited until it reached 190* F to be able to turn the wheel then I safely drove my vehicle to school and when I got back in my truck at 2:20 the steering was locked again and I'm shocked again because I never had a car that had problems. To my concern this should be a safety issue because anyone having this problem can seriously cause a bad car accident that was not meant to happen in the first place.

Vehicle is struggling really hard to turn just going around a curve in the road. This is making it very unsafe to drive due to having to strong arm every turn of the wheel and not being able to make sudden turns in the event it is necessary. I believe it is the power steering that has failed.
