Steering is stiff when coming out of a left turn. Very reluctant to come back to zero almost as if there is a dead spot in the steering rack itself.

- Dallas, GA, USA

The contact owns a 2019 Ram 1500. While driving approximately 10 mph and making a left turn, the vehicle jolted forward and crashed into a second vehicle. After the collision, the front driver's side wheel was damaged and pointed to the left of the vehicle. When turning the steering wheel, the front wheels did not turn in either direction. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to a collision center for repairs. Approximately three months later, the failure recurred while driving approximately 10 mph and making a left turn. The vehicle was towed back to the collision center. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the steering mechanism knuckle fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The local dealer was not notified. The failure mileage was 3,000.

While driving, power steering unavailable caution followed by service suspension immediately. Power steering is lost while driving and intermittently comes back or is lost. I have taken to the dealership twice and they 'can't find anything wrong'. this is extremely dangerous while driving at 50-70 mph on the highways and interstate.

While driving 40 mph vehicle indicated power steering failure. Power steering service needed. I was driving and could not run steering wheel approaching turn. Almost died unable to turn wheel. Vehicle only has 10024 miles and purchased brand new. A catastrophic accident involving my family and others could have occurred. I have looked into this via forums for 2019 Ram 1500 and there seems to been multiple issues reported with similar issues. Please please please follow up with fca to address power steering failure issues as deadly consequences can happen. Please do not wait on this.

Also have other service messages for suspension and lane control. Check engine light came in after being serviced twice. Truck is now in the shop for the 4th time with more electrical issues. It throws new codes everytime.

While driving home on the highway approximately 20 mile commute when making left turns the power steering stops working at a specific area of the turns. Does not happen while making right turns. The longer you drive the more frequent the problem shows up. When you first start the trip does not show up right away ten after 18-20 miles will start to show the problem at lower speeds between 35-40 mph. Due to what I consider an unsafe condition in the steering I put the vehicle into the dealership before an accident or worse occurs. The service manger took the vehicle out for a test drive for 20 miles and did experience the issue with steering. The dealership has not found anything after 3 days and is in contact with Chrysler.

After driving for about 10min in town (30-50mphs) the power steering warning went off and power steering failed in traffic for about 90 sec before returning.

The vehicle initially had a reported steering failure twice on December 19th. This was reported to NHTSA under file 1162423. The vehicle was taken to the dealer the same day. The dealer was unable to determine why this occurred. Then, again on December 30th this occurred again at highway speed, almost causing a collision. Immediately contacted the dealer again and the dealer was concerned over safety issue and offered a rental vehicle while inspecting the vehicle. On the way to the dealer this morning, the power steering turn off and again the message center displayed in red " power steering unavailable service required".. this was displayed on the prior occasions.... while driving slowly to the dealer this loss of steering occurred another 3 times intermittently with another warning "service air suspension immeditaley".... keep in mind that when the power steering leaves with electronic steering very little control remains. Since this has been reported to the dealers and also to NHTSA numerous times from various geographic areas since August 2018 I am surprised that a recall has not been issued and or a remedy through the dealers.

Started truck in a parking lot and started to pull away, went to turn and truck went straight till it indicated to 'service power steering.' Once I realized it had lost all power steering I was able to limp it home with much effort to make turns. Traffic was light so was able to use multiple lanes to make turns. While driving home however, about 65 mph the power steering came back on pulled the truck hard to the right and centered back up, then quit again after three miles.

While parking my truck at work in the parking lot about 5 min. After the first failure my power steering failed again but came back within seconds. On the way home from work tonight my power steering failed and didn't come back for about 8mins/several miles. My power steering continues to fail then come back to normal then fail again. The vehicle was in motion and on a city street. This occurs randomly while turning and or going straight.
