Electronic power steering appears to be intermittently inoperative. I was driving this past weekend and multiple times when turning in parking lot or going under 20 mph or at least that is what I noticed, it became difficult to steer and then forcing steering all the sudden power steering kicks in almost causing accident. I will be taking my truck into dealership but I see there are no recalls yet on this problem and I see complaints going back many years. This is truly a safety concern.....

- Brecksville, OH, USA

On two occasions within the last three days, while driving and about to make a turn, my power steering was completely disabled. The first time I was turning onto another street and nearly ran into the ditch. Luckily the second time, I was leaving a parking lot. On both occasions, it was very very difficult to turn the truck with no power steering. Once I turned the truck off for a while to research the problem and restarted it, the problem went away. I am now afraid to drive my truck on a upcoming trip to the mountains.

The vehicle was stationary. Went to put the key in ignition and turn on. Truck would not start, not even turn. Tried jumping it and nothing worked. Having to get a whole new key ignition assembly done on it. Have read up on it and this has happened to many people. The truck won't lock or run. There are 83,000 miles on it and nothing prior to this has happened. The wheel will not turn or go into neutral. The lights inside do work so it is not the battery. Having to send to a mechanic and all parts have been ordered as they identified it was the ignition module that went out. He said it happens a lot to Dodge.

Vehicle begins shaking between 68-73 mph on several different highways. I wanted to make sure it was not road conditions. The steering wheel doesn't shake but the vehicle vibrates. May be coming from the rear of the vehicle. Replaced all four tires with brand new and had them balanced, had the vehicle aligned. Same problem occurs. This seems to be a common issue. Vehicle has 34,212 miles. Had tires rebalanced after 150 miles of use. Issue did not go away.

While driving my 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 truck the power steering stopped working which caused me to nearly run off the road during an attempted turn. The power steering has since been intermittently cutting in and out which makes it very difficult to steer, especially at slower speeds. I was driving on city streets when this happened.

While driving vehicle when coming to a stop at speeds of 15-65 mph. The steering wheel shakes and it seems as if the truck doesn't want to stop. I was told this is due to the rotors warping. If this happens to a Dodge / Ram pickups they should probably upgrade the discs and pads for better stopping and stabilizing.

- La Porte, TX, USA

Intermittent loss of power steering. Two ocurrances 3 months apart. Low speed right turn at 20mph, dash error light (loss of comm with power steerring) and no power steering. Stop, shut engine down and restart restores power steering. Second occurance (14 Aug 2020), same error while performing left turn at about 25 mph. Shut engine, and restart restores power steering. In both instances, manual non assisted steering still functional. All driving while in city, starting from intersection.

Electric power steering failure. Over a period of 2-3 weeks power steering has become more and more inoperable and requires very much effort to steer. Dealer suggestion is to completely replace rack & pinion module at high cost - est $2200. Repair must be done to make this vehicle safe to drive. This problem seems identical to the description of the recent (16 Dec 2019) VB8 Chrysler recall for 2019 Ram 1500 trucks.
