Consumer Description
Approximately 8/1/23 upon starting the truck I found that the power steering was sluggish. I did not lose control but found some resistance when turning the steering wheel. The power steering fluid was not low and there were no indication of any leakage. This lasted two to three days and then cleared up on its own. On 8/15/23 it was driven to several destinations and the steering was optimum. Upon starting the truck after my last stop the power steering was again sluggish , worse than the previous episode. I had seen on television after the first occurrence that the Ram1500 was once recalled due to power steering problems and my vehicle falls into the manufacture date for known problems. This is available for inspection and there was no accident. It does pose a hazard if it starts while I am driving. The truck has not been confirmed by a dealer or service center but I have spoke to one.
