Consumer Description

On September 22, 2025, I was driving my wife to the store in my 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 Tradesman 5.7L Hemi Pickup. I was at a stop light waiting to turn left. When the light turned green, I proceeded to start my left turn, as I entered the intersection there was a tremendous jolt causing the steering wheel to violently jerk out of my hands and making it nearly impossible to turn the steering wheel. After nearly colliding with another vehicle waiting at the light in the opposite direction, it took all my strength to attempt to steer my vehicle since all power steering was gone. I veered my vehicle into a business driveway right at the intersection and was able to stop my vehicle. After I stopped, I noticed a "Hazard Light" flashing on the instrument panel, it was the " Electric Power Steering Fault Warning Light". I have since learned that there is and have been a "Recall" for a Power Steering problem with Ram Trucks in the same Year Range.
