Out of no where my steering became difficult and then easy and the difficult in a middle of a turn. I had no clue there was ESP issues till I looked it up. There is a recall but my tuck is not on the list. Wtf we spend all this money and there just junk now a days.

1500 Laramie 5.7L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 152,000 miles

I was getting on to the on ramp to get on the interstate when my steering locked up and I ended up hitting a guard rail on the driver side. I was lucky enough nobody was behind me and that I had not got on the interstate yet.. I haven't been able to get fixed yet because not only is it going to cost around 2 grand but it’s almost impossible to find the part. Everything about is on back order.

1500 Big Horn 5.7L Hemi

  • Automatic transmission
  • 55,000 miles

2018 Ram 1500, 55,000 miles and there is a Electric Power Steering (EPS) failure when vehicle is cold. Dealer said unit needs replacing even though it is most likely the circuit board or internal connections. $2,300 for EPS unit from dealer and they said it will be at least 45 days before they can even get it. It's f**g Winter and I won't be able to use my 4x4 until it's fixed. So yeah, f RAM! I will never buy another and will tell everyone I know about my experience with Ram reliability.
