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.

While driving there is intermittent loss of power steering during a turn where at times it will be hard then easy to turn. While at highway speed it causes issue with maintaining your lane and in town making short turns can be hard. There is no warning before it happens and it's completely random.

When turn the steering wheel feels like it doesnt want to turn and almost wont but then it will go back to normal buf then it will do it agian this happens 2 or 3 times during 1 turn. It happens in when turning in both directions but only on the turn on when wheel is turning back to stright. My safty and other drivers or pedestrians could be injured or be killed by this happing not being able to turn the truck where it is meant to be turned. I afraid that it is going to get worse and i may hit someone or something. There was no warning before, during, or after this happening had a OBD 2 tester hooked up to after it happened the 2 time and it showed nothing about anything relevant to this problem. The shop said that it could be a part failure or malfunction and quoted me $3500. I just bought the truck and knew i would have some problems to fix buying a used truck. But the motor and transmission were hood so i wasnt thi king there would be any really big expenses. Buf then this happened. I called the previous owner and asked if he had any problems similar to that and he said he did but only when it was cold after truck warmed up he wouldn-??t notice it, but also said that he didn-??t drive it much the last few months due to him having a new truck. He told me he first noticed it around September 2024.

I was driving to work one morning and my power steering just stopped working and the service power steering light lite up and luckily I was about to pass a gas station so I had to slow way down to turn the steering wheel to get into the lot I pulled to the gas pump to get fuel and shut the truck off and was hoping it would reset which it did but now when the truck is setting still running you can't turn the steering wheel unless you give it gas and start moving and it'll start working again.

I-??ve had a complete loss of steering control while driving on highway coming home from work last night. There was no warning it just failed. I was able to manhandle the truck on the highway and limp home. My first thought I had my power steering pump fail but when I couldn-??t find a pump on my engine I google search the problem and found out that this is a known issue but my truck was not included in the recall issued back in 2016.. I was completely unaware my 2015 Ram 1500 had this issue until it failed last night on me. I-??m afraid to take to the dealer because I-??m sure this will be a large repair bill. I wish they would include my vehicle in the recall!!
