I experienced partial loss of electric power steering or (EPS) while driving. if I turn the wheel roughly 30 degrees either way the power steering is out. There was no crash but this did happen while driving and I did have difficulty making a turn, if there was more traffic or if I was on a tighter road I could have easily hit someone else or run off the road. There were no warning lights or messages that indicate the problem before it happened or after. I've had a local dealership (where I bought the truck) and another independent service center inspect it and confirm that the EPS system is the problem and needs to be replaced. The local dealership wants over 6k for the repairs and refuses to work with me on that until this is an official recall. My understanding is that there is an open investigation on this issue, is there any timeline on when it could be resolved? My vehicle is available for inspection if necessary.

Intermittent loss of power steering. Difficult to turn wheel at low speeds. Steering is tight then will loosen causing it to be difficult to control vehicle while turning. Ram dealer installed new steering rack and pinion which cost me $4,100 on May 15, 2024. However, steering problem is still occurring.

When driving steering becomes stiff and almost uncontrollable. It happens intermittently however becoming more frequently and more stiff each time. No warning lamps or messages before, during or after it happens. When steering is stiff it makes it difficult to steer, like there is no power steering at all. It can be difficult to keep my truck in its correct lane while driving. This has been happening for several months now, I am not sure of specific date it started happening. Happens at various speeds between 35 and 65 MPH

Power steering hard to turn truck when driving.Very stiff.When driving on curvy highways Going right on slightly (curves) wheel fights back going left.Like a pulsating pull. With power steering you can turn the wheel with your finger right to left, but can-??t with the stiffness. Haven-??t had it checked out yet.

Electric Power steering it is now. I will try and keep it when repaired. The Truck would not turn with out using two hands and pulling and wasn't very responsive then. yes at an independent shop and at a dealer. No warning lights ever came on independent shop computer says working fine. Everything was fine and it quit working on a trip to the store. I'm glad my kid wasn't driving. I have drove old trucks without power assisted steering and had an idea how to get it to turn. Women and old people wouldn't be strong enough to turn it and would likely crash very dangerous. Mine obviously should have been recalled with the other 2015 models because it has failed just like them. I know this issue is still under investigation according to an article in August of 2023. This is a very dangerous situation when it happens my truck has only 113k on it. steering shouldn't ever fail at that low of use. These should be banned they are not safe.

Steering is partially failing. Hard to turn the steering wheel and can not turn as much.

- Swedesboro, NJ, USA

This has happened 3 time now and basically has been parked since. We have had it to the repair shop and they couldn't find anything. Repair shop even has contacts who work for Chrysler in CO. We live in SD, it's winter. So vehicle need to warm for some time before driving. On all 3 occasions vehicle was warmed up for 15-30 mins. Hop in pickup to leave our yard and shift into drive. Steering wheel acts as if it's still locked. 1st time it lasted 5-10 seconds, I forcibly tried with all of my might to turn the wheel but could not get it too. Also tried shifting though gears while rolling. It just suddenly unlocked. The 2nd and 3rd time it lasted 30-60 seconds before it unlock. As a parent this vehicle isn't safe. What if it locks up while driving at 80mph on the interstate while my kids are in the car with me? I do have a video of it but it won't allow me to upload it.
