Consumer Description

Whenever the ambient temperature gets below 40 deg F, the "Service Power Steering" warning message appears and the steering doesn't work. The fuse is OK. The battery is OK. The connections going to the steering rack don't have any corrosion on the pins. I opened the steering rack to see if there was any water infiltration that might be causing a short on the circuit board, but it is dry. I saw the 2015 Ram 1500 had a recall for steering issues, but my VIN didn't qualify for the recall. There are no parts available to fix this problem, which tells me this is a widespread issue with the Ram 1500 trucks.
