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!!

While driving my truck with randomly loose power steering and this happens at all speeds. It will also make my dashboard go crazy move my dashboard measurement alol over the place like a haunted clock. It will also give me more messages such as service power steering, electronic throttle control, service shifter, service transmission, service airbags. This will then cause my car to not shift up or down a gear while driving. This will happen and then if I unplug my battery for 10 minutes or so it goes away and then will randomly come back same day or the next day. My power steering will go out whether I-??m parked going 10 miles an hour or if I-??m going 75 miles an hour which is a gigantic safety issue. My steering wheel will randomly lock up and my car with then to move left and right as it locks up. In addition the check engine will either light up or not light up and then will disappear. I did take my truck back to the dealership to where I purchased it and was not able to solve the issue they attempted to fix it for a total of 36 days two times of which they -??fixed-?? it but then I-??d be driving on the highway and it would be doing it all over again. This has been going on since October 21 2024 and is not safe to drive but don-??t have a choice as it is my only means of transportation so I try to manage it the best I can. I see multiple posts online about the same thing I believe there needs to be a safety recall on this regarding the entire wiring system, the electronic power steering module or the electronic throttle module. This needs to be addressed.

Losing steering functions (per limited recall). My truck was not listed in the recall of electronic power steering failure

- Ashland, OH, USA

Feels like the steering keeps going in and out one second it is okay the next it is very hard to steer were you can barely turn the wheel at all at any speed

- Redwood, NY, USA

Electric power steering rack has failed. It's very, very hard to steer the vehicle. Happened when it was cold and snowy out. I'm lucky it occurred in my driveway, and I wasn't at speed on the highway! Dealer says it's a module in the steering rack. Quoted over 3k to replace the electronic power steering rack. I can't afford that... That kind of repair was never anticipated when I purchased this vehicle.

Truck loses power when you accelerate at any various moments. Forces you to put it in park and then I'll have to restart the engine and then it'll drive normal like nothing happen. Power steering is a little hard which cruise control doesn't work when this is happening.

The contact was informed that the rack and pinion and the rear differential case needed to be replaced. The vehicle remained with the dealer due to parts being on backorder.

The power steering fails whenever the outside temperature is cold, below about 45 deg F. The failure occurs when the truck is started. The failire is very consistent, but again only when cold outside. When the failure occurs, after warming the engine compartment for 30-60 minutes and restarting the truck, the steering is then OK and the truck can be driven normally. When the failure occurs, the engine runs OK, and the truck can be operated, but without power steering it is very hard to drive safely. When the failure happens I have not tried to drive the car on roadways since it is very difficult to steer the truck. However, I am concerned that the steering failure could happen when driving, especially if the outiside temperature gets cold. I have consulted with an authorized RAM dealer and was told the electronic power steering module would need replacement, with estimated cost $3700. I decided against having the steering replaced, since the truck is usable once the engine warms. The dealer did not inspect the truck, since it only has failed on cold mornings in my driveway, so the failure and warning messages are gone once I drive it to the dealer. When the failure occurs there is a red message on the dashboard to "Service Power Steering". This message is somewhat redundant-- the lack of power steering is very evident as soon as you try to drive the truck.

During colder weather the power steering does not work. Any time the temperature is below 65 the light blinks and there is no steering. Even after cleaning battery connections well and replacing the fuses it does not work. We were towing just fine in the afternoon then in the morning when we attempted to drive it was out!

- Pueblo West, CO, USA

Electronic Power Steering unit/rack failed. Vehicle is available for inspection, although would need to be towed. My safety and other drivers around me has been put at risk due to losing all power steering while driving down the highway. All it would take is losing power steering in a curve on a major highway to cause a major accident. The Electronic Power Steering units on multiple year model Ram 1500's has been reported, my truck alone has lost steering once in October, and again for half of November up until today, December 3rd. My individual EPS has not been inspected by anyone. There is no warning light when the power steering fails, you will be driving along just fine and the next moment, your steering is lost and extremely difficult to move. Once you limp to safety and shut your truck off, a "Service Power Steering" message will pop up and remain on your dash until your power steering unit is replaced.

- Cameron, NC, USA

On my 2015 ram 1500, When it's gets cold out my EPS freezes up to the point where I cannot turn the wheels. I have to let my vehicle run for awhile to regain steering. It also keeps going out when I'm driving. Some days my steering will work fine and other days it doesn't. There is no warning light that comes on on the dash before the steering doesn't work.
