When turning left at speeds over 40 mph the steering sticks or loses power assist when coming out of the turn. Turning to the right is unaffected and works normally. Been to the dealer with this complaint twice, each time they said there was no fault code and they could not find a problem. Driving at highway speeds in traffic can be very scary, anyone that drives this truck and is not aware of this steering issue could result in a wreck.

This truck makes a grinding or rubbing sensation when turning and when turning and breaking. The sensation comes from the steering column and vibrates through the steering wheel. It is audible as well. Obviously, this is a concern not only for me any my occupants, but for others on the road way as well as I do not know what is causing this rubbing or grinding. This vehicle has been checked out by my dealer and they do not know what is wrong with it, although they were able to experience the problem for themselves. They also informed me that this is a known issue and that Chrysler is aware of the problem as there are many other trucks like mine with this defect. This issue started very sporadically and has continually gotten worse.

- Elkton, MD, USA

power steering stopped working while driving it. I was going straight on a bridge at the time so I was in no danger, Then it started working after about a half mile. No problem the rest of the day but then each day it did it more and more to the point that it has no power steering now. Called the dealer and I'm taking it in on 7/26/21. The warranty is out by 6000 miles

When turning the steering wheel right I felt a resistance and a grinding/rubbing in the steering system. This has happened several times to both me and my spouse. We have taken it to the dealer, and were told it could not be duplicated. The issue first happened when the truck was less than 6 months old, and just happened again today for maybe the 10th time at just over 2 years and 35,000 miles.

While slowing down from 45mph on a flat level road (over a bridge) prior to making a turn the outer passenger tie rod end completely decoupled from the hub's backing plate. I almost completely lost steering. Had another vehicle been in the area, or had the incident happened a second or two earlier there could have been a crash or even a fatality. I was able to torque steer the vehicle around the turn and bring it to a stop on the adjacent street. I couldn't locate the tie rod nut - so I don't know where it came off. The vehicle was flat bedded to the dealer last night. There were not any warning signs that this part was about to fail before it did. The dealer claims that it only needs an outer tie rod and an alignment.

Passenger side tie rod inner end outer separated and upon inspection threads had rusted and they pulled apart in a simple left turn. Luckily it as at low speed, but had just gotten off the interstate at 70 mph. This could have been a catastrophic accident had it happened on the interstate. Dealership and tow truck driver said they had never seen this on a 2019 vehicle with less than 100,000 miles.

I was driving and my power steering failed without warning causing me to nearly crash on the throngs neck bridge moving at 55 mph. The dealership will not tow my truck because I am in New Jersey. So they rather me get hurt or die rather than spend a few dollars to have me towed

Just over 23,600mi of generally on-road use, the electronic power steering (eps) failed on a trail in the snow, nearly sending the truck truck uncontrolled into an embankment. The eps had first locked up during a 3-point turn - the steering feel was as if the steering lock snapped 'on', not allowing the wheel to return to center after being turned (to the right). No error lights were seen, so I chalked it up to a fluke. This then happened a few more times on the same day, at uneven intervals until the eps failure without notice. When the eps failed, a loud whining / grinding sound was emitted from the steering area at the slightest rotation of the steering wheel. With the truck off, the steering rack made a deeper 'thunk when the wheel was rotated manually and at that point, the eps stayed off, allowing non-eps steering to recover the truck. There's plenty of dashcam video which tells the story, static images don't show anything out of the ordinary. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=lq3mf6vayyu

Power steering starts and stops working intermittently and at random. Sometimes it won't work for minutes/hours at a time. Other times it cuts out and then comes right back on repeatedly. Vehicle is very difficult to control when this happens, especially when it cuts in and out during a turning maneuver. Each instance is accompanied by a message on the dash screen advising to service power steering. Removing, cleaning, and retightening the battery ground cable fixed the problem temporarily. No maintenance or alterations were performed to the battery ground cable/contact before the problem started.

- Phoenix, AZ, USA

Power steering failure at 17000 miles while stationary. I took it to the dealership and they said they could only recreate it once and were unable to fix it. After 2 weeks, they had me pick it up. 3 days later, it happened again while I was backing out of the gas station.

I was stopped at a right light, made a right turn and immedailty lost all steering it was locked in a right turn had to slam on the brakes after the truck ran up over the curb onto the sidewalk inches from driving through a brick wall. I shut the truck off started it again and everything seemed fine. I was 3 hours from home since everything seemed fine after driving another 30 miles or so I headed down the mountin to go home. Heading down hill on a very curvy road I lost all power steering on a corner and it took everything I had to keep it on the road and avoid driving off the side of a mountain. Exxtremely dangerous and scary. I was able to limp the truck home from there driving at slow speeds to be able to maintain control. I am driving a 2019 Ram 1500 bighorn.

The truck has been intermittently experiencing loss of power steering. This situation has been happening after I stop the truck. Has happened 2 times now. Makes it extremely dangerous to drive and or maneuver to get to a safety spot. Also when this happens, it loses lane, departure adaptive cruise control, assisted braking & most electronic safety features.

When turning to the right the front left wheel makes a grinding noise similar to ABS activation causing turn resistance and "understeer" nearly resulting in several collisions. When repair was attempted Ram reported they were aware of the issue, but have no repair. This results in an unsafe vehicle to drive as the understeer could readily result in a collision.
