1st problem....steering column rattles loudly in-between 45 and 60 mph and at speeds below 10mph. Trucks front end grinds when making slow speed right hand turns. Also truck lurches, grinds and rattles the entire front end slowing down or backing up at slow speeds....this happens when brakes are not being applied. Sometimes when I drive the truck the steering wheel stays off center to the right and pulls very hard to the right. Chrysler says it possible the electronic power steering rack but they dont have a fix. Gets worse almost every day. 2nd problem....I have noticed the truck has marks where the knuckle and the lower control arm are hitting each other. I understand the need for steering stops but these are not steering stop hits. These parts are structural parts of the truck that are not supposed to hit. Both sides are doing this and I do not feel the truck is safe with this issue and it has caused stressed areas on the front end of the truck. This could cause parts to fail and have serious consequences at any speed the truck is going if they decide to fail. My truck has been to the dealership 4 times and was just dropped off again today. They said they may have to replace the parts that are hitting...but they are the same parts and it will do the same exact thing again. They gave me a 2019 Ram to drive as a loaner and this truck doesnt have the air suspension like mine does. I inspected under the truck and found the same exact issue on this truck. I believe Chrysler has a serious issue with these trucks that started with the design and they are not taking care of the issue. I have a $62,000 dollar truck I do not feel is safe and I am not getting answers to correct these issues. The date below is estimated when I took it to the dealership the first time. This has been an ongoing problem with no resolve from Chrysler

Truck was in motion on a city street at 40mph. Approached a stop light and the warning lights on the dashboard started going off (all of them). The windshield wipers went on and off by themselves, blinks didn't work, hazards didn't work, the RPM and mph gauges kept going up and down. The brakes didn't work so I had to use the emergency brake to stop. Pulled into a parking lot, shut the vehicle off, waited 5 minutes and started it up again. Same thing happened. Shut the vehicle off and waited 10 minutes, started it back up and this time only the check engine light came on. I made it home 2 miles down the road. The first business day available, the dealer came and picked up the truck. It has been with the dealership for the week. The called the other day and said something is wrong, they are unable to start the vehicle up now. They are waiting for an engineer to review it from the manufacturer.

While operating the 2019 Ram 1500, the steering wheel sticks (does not turn smoothly or locking while in the turn) when your turning it left or right at highway speeds of 50-70 mph. While operating the above mentioned vehicle, due to the steering malfunctioning, I feel it is deemed unsafe to operate at highway speeds.

I would have selected other issues above but it only allows three. Driving with family on vacation when all electrical on dash starting going crazy. Every light on dash was flashing, gauges were bouncing all over, hazards wouldn't turn on, loss of power steering, loss of brakes, wipers sped up, transmission trying to shift gears, airbag lights were on, transmission slammed in to park once vehicle was under 5 mph, and shut itself off. Had to have vehicle towed to york Chrysler in crawfordsville, in. This was on Thursday July 30. I had taken vehicle to bosak motors in merrillville, in on Friday July 24 due to same issue and was told they couldn't find the issue. I managed to videotape the issue while it was happening. I also looked online and found a couple videos of other Ram 1500 doing the same thing.

Power steering stopped working in the middle of driving around a parking lot.the truck is extremely hard to steer around corners. It's very dangerous driving this truck with no power steering.

Steering sticks in the 11 O'clock position in left curves of 30 degrees at speeds of 30 mph or more. The faster the speed the more pronounced the stick. This is the sticking problem reported by many in the electric power steering, not to be confused with the ground issue total power loss. The problem was originally corrected at 1879 miles by the dealer replacing the rack and pinion assembly. Problem reappeared over the weekend 7/24/2019 at 35,200 miles. I'll be taking it to the dealer this week. It is obvious that there is something amiss in Ram's rack and pinion assemblies. This problem could definitely result in the death or injury of the occupants of the vehicle or the occupant's of other vehicles. I find references on Ram forums about this issue as far back as fall of 2018, the same as my original problem. I am highly surprised that Ram hasn't found an answer for this problem.

Intermittent loss of power steering assist and an inconsistent steering effort, especially during lower speed maneuvers, when forcing the wheel back to center the vehicle will jerk to the right. The vehicle mileage is 14000 and has been operating this way since I acquired the vehicle late 2019

- Amman, NY, USA

I am having an issue when taking a left hand bend at moderate speeds 40 to 70 mph the steering wheel will not return to center without considerable effort on the drivers part. When forcing the wheel back to center the vehicle will jerk to the right. The vehicle mileage is 6500 and has been operating this way since I acquired the vehicle. I took the vehicle to fowler Dodge in okc and they say they cannot duplicate the issue and made no repairs. I rotated the tires thinking this may remedy the problem, but did not. Right hand bends are not affected only when navigating a left hand bend. I have researched this and found where the same complaint has been reported to the NHTSA at least a dozen times. There has been a recall for this year Ram 1500 for power steering issues and I feel this is part of the same issue. I am not aware if a error code comes on as I am to busy watching the road. The issue happens frequently whenever negotiating a left hand bend. This is a serious safety issue.

Speedometer and entire instrument cluster stopped working, wipers started working, transmission would not shift. Message on cluster stated to get where you're going and don't turn engine off or it may not restart. Driveability was greatly reduced, power steering seemed to be less effective. Error and warning messages from all the electronic modules flashed on the driver display in sequence. Dealer starr motors of suffolk, Virginia indicated that without an active condition they cannot troubleshoot and repair so they sent us back out on the road with this vehicle. Error code U1817 is displayed as a non-active historical diagnostic trouble code. Hitting a bump in the road seemed to trigger momentary return of cluster functionality, with a return to non-functionality shortly thereafter.

On three separate occasions the vehicle power steering stopped working. One event was while driving the vehicle at highway approved speed on the interstate when the vehicle's power steering stopped operating suddenly in heavy traffic on a curve. The vehicle was extremely difficult to manually steer to a safe location in traffic. Next two events happened at the start of the day shortly after starting the vehicle's engine. A message is displayed on the panel "service power steering". there is no power steering functioning when this error is displayed. With each event the nearby service center for the manufacturer has needed to keep the vehicle multiple days to work with the manufacturer on a solution. On another issue the vehicle was unable to drive forward or reverse on first delivery (within 100 miles) and again around 2500 miles. The transmission would not go into gear and needed the service center to reprogram the transmission to make it work.

Getting ready to make a left turn into my driveway, when the steering wheel wouldn't turn and a "power steering unavilable//service required " message popped up on the dash display. I am very fortunate the it didn't happen on a busy road. I was able to get it into the driveway, but the "power steering unavailable/service required" light will not go away. All of the previous recalls have been performed. Due to a previous wreck, there is no warranty on this truck, because of a reconstructed title.this truck was repaired with 1492 miles on it and now has 4347 miles.

When driving above 40 mph the steering sticks. It happems while driving into and out of turns. The steering grabs/sticks and has to be forced to correct. Extremely dangerous on our 2 lane roads in Hawaii. All of my required recalls have been corrected. This is a new issue. I have been noticing this issue since June 2019.

- Kailua Kona, HI, USA

After taking possession of our new 2019 Ram truck I began to drive home. As soon as I came into a left hand turn the steering stuck in the 10 or 11 O'clock position when trying to return to center. I almost crashed into oncoming vehicles. I returned the truck to the dealership immediately and they said the steering was fixed. When I picked it up the second time the steering was still defective. Very dangerous. I almost got into an accident several times on the way home for the second time. The threat of overcompensation is a major concern also.
