5.7 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel with MDS engine stop with low MPH and turning onto oncoming traffic. I was not accelerating, nor applying the brake. Just slowly rolling into a left turn. It has happened about 4 times and usually during a U-turn. Only two options to get it out of condition during oncoming traffic!!! 1) Engine dies, apply the brake, shift to park, release the parking brake, shift to drive 2) While still rolling in turn, engage/turn the shifter to neutral and lightly touch the brake pedal, the engine will start, then shift into drive

When making right and left turns at slow speeds, I hear a buzzing noise and vibration in the steering wheel. I also feel a slight clunk when shifting between 2nd and 3rd gear. I'm afraid if I keep driving with this issue, this may cause a possible lost of steering/control.

I was pulling out of the parking lot at work and the steering locked up, luckily I was going slow and was able to stop

- Alton, IL, USA

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

- Woodsboro, TX, USA

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.

- University Place, WA, USA

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.
