While leaving work, I turned my steering wheel and it was extremely hard to turn. It was extremely unsafe and I had trouble keeping the vehicle within a single lane. Then the steering wheel would jerk back and forth at times. I immediately took the vehicle back to where I purchased the vehicle. They advised that the electric power steering on my vehicle needed to be replaced. I looked online that similar 2015 Ram's actually had a recall on this exact part, but my vehicle was not included for the recall. My 3yr/36K warranty had just expired in May 2018, but I purchased an extended warranty. The dealership advised me the part was covered by the extended warranty and they had ordered the part. They advised the part was back ordered until the middle of September 2018. I spoke with the dealership today, 10-3-18, and they stated the part would not be in at the earliest 11-26-18. Possibly not until next year.

The steering gets tight to where you can't turn the steering wheel and then it loosens back up unexpectedly. It's becoming dangerous and scary when turning corners. You never know when it's going to tighten up. We just bought the truck in September 2018 and already having issues. It has 73,000 miles on it. If the past recall for steering was ever fixed, it's broke again and needs replaced.

Power steering is intermittent and can unexpectedly become very hard to steer.

- Watertown, NY, USA

Recently had the power steering unit replaced by fca (50% my cost) and filed a NHTSA complaint. After approx 2,000 miles has developed very stiff and jerky steering assist. Wheel will not return to center when you let go, and turning corners is a two handed, reduced speed affair as not to collide with other vehicles. I have determined that the universal joint on the steering shaft is bad. I can spray lubricant on it and the problem goes away for a while then returns as it dries out.

Steering rack will lock up out if no where while driving at high and low speeds.this happens when truck is stationary and in motion when turning the steering wheel it's not continuously happening it is intermittent. Been to two dealers and no fix other than to replace the steering rack. It's too much money to pay with no help.

Power assist steering suddenly and without warning was inoperative during a turn. Vehicle crossed the lane marker into traffic and narrowly missed a collision with an oncoming vehicle. Was able to muscle the vehicle back under control. Took to a dealer ship (glockner of ashland ky) and they had the vehicle for 4 weeks and could not find the problem. There were no codes present in the computer or warning lights on the dash indicating a malfunction. 3 days later I took it to kunes country of macomb il and they determined the power rack steering assembly needed replaced at a cost of $2,430. I declined. Will fix myself. New unit from detroit axle is $1,399. Vehicle had 44,800 miles at the time of malfunction.

I was driving around a curve when suddenly lost all power steering. I was able to slow the vehicle before going off of the colvert on the opposite side of the road. I was fortunate that there wasn't any oncoming traffic in the other lane and that I could slow down to prevent vehicle damage. This sudden loss of power steering assist is very dangerous! it may not sound that bad just losing power steering but when you do not expect it and it happens it is very dangerous, especially around curves or at the stop light making a right and tight turn. I am a young man that can control non power steering vehicles but not unexpectedly!

Truck says service power steering. Truck will not steer and it's electric power steering. Have to wait until engine warms up, using excess gas. This happens when I start my Ram 1500. So far, it hasn't happened yet while I'm driving, but only time will tell. Fiat and my dealer are trying to help me. However my basic warranty is up so both are saying it's not covered by warranty. Both also say that my VIN doesn't match any effected 2015 Ram 1500 that have this problem.

The steering vibrations are getting worse and worse. I called san antonio Dodge from which I purchased the truck and gave them the recall number and the VIN number and was told the part was not available at their location and to wait for the second recall letter. I told them (her) that this was the second recall letter, so I was forewarded to an "advisor" who never picked up the phone. I left a message as to my problems, my name and phone number. The date is 3/29/2015 at 5:10pm. I want to document my effort to clear this problem and the response I am getting from the san antonio Dodge dealership. Note: I have had this truck for about a year and the steering wheel starts to vibrate at about 73mph and gets worse as the speed increases to the point that the vehicle is going to shake the front end mechanism loose. This was not the case at the start but is progressively getting worse to the point that it is becoming a safety hazard. The problem started approximately at 17,000 miles and continues to get worse at 19,000 miles.
