ABS system went out 3 years ago. The truck was still drivable and used extreme caution when doing so. This morning the power steering went out which is directly related to the ABS system. I noticed that a recall was issued for 2017 and beyond models of the Ram, but why not 2015. My truck has less than 100,000 miles and is now completely undriveable because the ABS cant be fixed.

- Westland, MI, USA

I have a 2015 Ram 1500 Laramie that I've owned for just over a year. I have already had to replace the EPS rack and pinion once, due to losing all power steering while driving with my kids. I paid $1,800 for the rack and pinion with a limited warranty. The warranty is now up and I am having to buy another rack and pinion from $1,800-$2,500. When I was driving my kids to school, my steering wheel completely locked up and I could not control my vehicle. This has been an ongoing issue and my truck has been inoperable for three weeks. MOPAR is selling dangerous vehicle that are not road worthy that endanger not only my family's lives, but those also on the road. This issue needs fixed, because I am now paying for a vehicle that is unsafe and is putting me in financial hardship. The issue has been confirmed by a mechanic shop to be the EPS rack and pinion system. There was zero warning each time this has occurred, I just lost complete control of my vehicle without warning.

The electric power steering has slowly become sluggish. At first I noticed the steering wheel was not returning to center after a turn and I would have to assist steering the truck back straight. This started maybe a month ago and being mechanically inclined I thought maybe it was an alignment issue (not enough caster possibly). Then as I left home this morning, out of the blue, the steering was very heavy with substantially less assist. It was difficult parking and even more sluggish returning to center from a turn requiring full hands on steering back to straight ahead. Looking the issue up on the Internet, I find a recall for this issue in 2016 on a small number of this model and now an new ongoing NHTSA investigation since August 2023. I am the third owner of this truck and it has had great care and is in generally fine condition for a 10 year old truck. I have already had to convert the truck back to coil spring suspension due to the air suspension system crapping out. I don't believe a steering system should give out at only 109,000 miles. I believe Stellantis should be held accountable for major system such as steering failing with such low mileage.
