2014 RAM 1500 Steering Problems

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSISTANT AT LOW SLOW SPEEDS CUTS IN AND OUT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO HANDLE THE TRUCK. TRUCK HAS 51,000 MILES ONLY AND IS A 2014 I SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON A YEAR LATER MODEL OF THE TRUCK BUT NOT ON MY VEHICLE.

I WAS ACCELERATING MY TRUCK ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THE POWER CONTROL MODULE, BATTERY CONTROL MODULE, CRANK POSITION SENSOR, TONE WHEEL AND POWER STEER CONTROL MODULE ALL FAILED AT THE SAME TIME. THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN AND HAD TO BE TOWED INTO THE DEALER.

LOST ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING CANNOT STEER TRUCK

THE POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ONTO OUR STREET RESULTING IN INABILITY TO STEER THE TRUCK EFFECTIVELY. A WARNING LIGHT APPEARED & I HAD TO LOOK ONLINE TO SEE WHAT IT MEANT AS THE MANUAL DID NOT HAVE IT. I HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO PUEBLO DODGE & SERVICE ADVISOR LESLIE LATER NOTIFIED ME OF A $2,300 COST TO REPAIR THE RACK & PINION TO GET THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WORKING AGAIN. I HAVE LEARNED THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2014 RAM 1500 P/U'S IN EVEN MORE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS ON THE ROAD/STREET. IT HAS ABOUT 46,000 MILES ON IT. I AM TOLD THAT THERE IS NO RECOURSE BY THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SVC REP ERNESHA BUT SHE WILL FILE MY COMPLAINT. IT WILL NOT GO ANY FURTHER THAN THAT AS SHE SAYS IT IS NOT WORTHY AND...

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, ON A TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD JERK BACK THE OPPOSITE WAY. THIS WAS A SUDDEN ONSET WITHOUT WARNING. EVENTUALLY IT LED TO BARELY BEING ABLE TO TURN THE TRUCK AT ALL. NO SERVICE LIGHTS WERE ON, DEALER SAID THAT IT WOULD EVENTUALLY GO OUT AND NOT BE ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE. MINE IS A 2014, THERE WAS A 2018 IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER. DEALER HAD ALSO HAD 4 OTHER TRUCKS (SAME MODEL) IN THE SHOP WITHIN THE LAST FEW WEEKS AND THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER. DEALER HAD NO INFORMATION ON A RECALL BUT IF THIS IS HAPPENING IN 2018 MODELS AND THE DEALER HAS THEM IN TO BE WORKED ON IN LARGE NUMBERS THIS CLEARLY SAYS THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON. IT IS UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING NOT KNOWING WHEN IT...

VERY HARD TO STEER WHEN MOVING, ANY DRIVING CITY OR HIGHWAYMORE GOING AROUND TURNS OR TURNING CORNERS, IT GOES EXTREMELY HARD, THEN EASIER THE HARD AGAIN, I WAS TOLD THERE ARE RECALLS FOR IT STARTING 1/2015, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS , I HAVE NO PICTURES SINCE YOU CAN'T SEE A PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE, DOES THIS AT ANY SPEED

I HAVE HAD 2 RACK PINIONS REPLACED AND WAS JUST TOLD THAT THE THIS ONE IS BAD TO. STIFF STEERING WITH IT CATCHING AT TIMES ALSO SERVICE STEERING LIGHT ON.

VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 77K MILES ON IT, POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED END OF FEBRUARY DUE TO TIME RESTRAINT BEFORE REACHING THE 100K MILES LIMIT (7YR/100K MILE ON A CERTIFIED USED) VEHICLE PURCHASED MARCH 2016. WHILE DRIVING THIS WEEK THE POWER STEERING RANDOMLY FAILS CAUSING THE WHEEL TO SNAP TO ONE SIDE, AT FREEWAY SPEED THIS COULD BE FETAL. I HAVE READ FORUMS OF SEVERAL OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE IN THE PAST AND IT COSTING $2,000-4,000+ TO REPLACE THE ESP (ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING). PART IS NOT FIXABLE WITHOUT REPLACEMENT AND UNDER 100K MILES SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS ISSUE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF THIS WOULD'VE HAPPENED AT FREEWAY SPEED, I HAD THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WHILE TURNING A CORNER AT APPROX 25MPH NEARLY SENDING ME OFF THE ROAD. RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND PROBLEM WENT AWAY LEADING ME TO BELIEVE IT MAY BE A ONE TIME SOFTWARE GLITCH. VEHICLE HAD NO PROBLEMS FOR...

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE STEERING STARTED TO GET ALMOST UN-STEERABLE AND STIFF. DEALER SAYS COMPLETE STEERING SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. TRUCK IS ONLY 4 1/2 YEARS OLD AND IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED. *DT *DT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V021000 (STEERING). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. CARL BURGER DODGE (8355 HERCULES ST, LA MESA, CA 91942, (619) 485-1485) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, THE WHEEL FELT HARD TO TURN, BUT THEN WAS FINE AFTER THAT, ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE WHEEL GOT TIGHT AGAIN, AND WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. TAKING AN EXIT AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN I HAD TO USE ALL OF MY EFFORT TO TURN AND STRAIGHTEN BACK OUT. FELT LIKE THE WHEEL WAS GOING TO LOCK UP. MAKING TURNS THE REST OF THE WAY BACK HOME WAS VERY DIFFICULT. THE EPS SYSTEM WILL TURN BACK ON WHEN THE WHEELS ARE ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY TURNED, AND TURN BACK OFF MAKING THE TURN VERY DIFFICULT THEN BRIEFLY EASY. BUT WHEN I WAS HAVING TO USE MY BODY TO TURN AND THEN EPS KICKS BACK ON I MADE A VIOLENT TURN AND HAD A VERY HARD TIME...

DODGE RAM STEERING RECALL ALERT- THIS SAME SITUATION HAPPENED TO ME IN MY MODEL 2014 DODGE RAM 1500 BIG HORN. RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED THE NUT HOLDING THE STEERING KNUCKLE AND RIGHT CONTROL ARM SEPARATED WHILE DRIVING. I FELT A HUGE POP AND JERK OF THE STEERING WHEEL. LUCKILY I WAS TRAVELING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. I TOOK TO SUNCOAST DODGE DEALER IMMEDIATELY, HE SAID I WAS LUCKY I COULD IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WHICH I WAS SHORTLY BEFORE. HE SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN A NUT FALL OFF BEFORE, BUT IT DID AND, COULD ROLLED AND CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I WAS CHARGED FOR REPAIR AND PICKED UP TRUCK TODAY 2/5 THEN SAW RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SITUATION RELEASED TODAY BY CHRYSLER FIAT, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED.

ALREADY WROTE THE REVIEW...READ IT

DURING COLD WEATHER IN MINNESOTA, THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED TO RESPOND CAUSING MY TRUCK TO GO INTO THE DITCH.

THE FACTORY "AIR RIDE" SUSPENSION FAILS IN COLD WEATHER. THE AIR BAGS COMPLETELY DEFLATE, LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITH NO SUSPENSION. LOSING ALL SUSPENSION ABILITY WHILE DRIVING IS A SERIOUS RISK TO LIFE. ENCOUNTERING SMALL POTHOLES OR ICY ROADS WITHOUT SUSPENSION INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF WRECKS. THE LOWERING OF THE SUSPENSION CHANGES THE STEERING GEOMETRY REQUIRED TO PROPERLY STEER A VEHICLE ON THE ROADS. CAMBER, CASTER, AND TOE OF THE STEERING GEOMETRY ARE NEGATIVELY EFFECTED AND WILL RESULT IN INCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF WRECKS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIPS IN ALASKA AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION DOES NOT FUNCTION HERE BUT CANNOT MAKE REPAIRS. I CALLED DODGE CORPORATE LINE AND THEY ASK ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIPS THAT INFORM ME THAT THERE IS NO FIX. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL ON THE RAM 1500 AIR RIDE SUSPENSION AS THIS IS A SERIOUS RISK...

I HAVE NOTIFICATIONS OF THESE VARIOUS RECALLS AND HAVE TRIED TO GET THESE CORRECTED OR AT LEAST CHECKED OUT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY TRUCK. FIRST I WAS TOLD THAT APPOINTMENTS WERE NOW REQUIRED. THEN I WAS ADVISED THAT 1ST COME/1ST SERVED WAS NOW REQUIRED AND FULL SCHEDULES ARE USUAL. NOW I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTIFICATION. I CARE FOR MY RAM, BUT MY TIME IS ALSO IMPORTANT.

WAS DRIVING MY 2014 RAM 1500 HEMI 5.7 LITER WHEN I GOT ERROR MESSAGE POWER STEERING GUILD MAINTENANCE NEEDED. THE 2014 RAM MODEL HAS NO RESERVOIR SO I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER. THE DELEARSHIP COULDN'T CLEAR MESSAGE NOW SAYING WHOLE PART RAC AND PIN NEED TO BE FIXED. THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING FINE NO ISSUES ALL OF SUDDEN GOT MESSAGE AND COULDN'T TURN STEERING WHEEL. I READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM 2015 RAM 1500 PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2014 MODEL. I WOULD UPLOAD DOCS. BUT THE DEALER HAS MY TRUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CASEBERE MOTOR SALES, CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, RAM TRUCKS (5768 OH-15, BRYAN, OH 43506, (419) 636-4594) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING ON THE RESULTS OF THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND TO LET THEM KNOW. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON STARTUP POWER STEERING INOPERATIVE. TURNED OFF WAITED ONE MINUTE RAN OK. AT MY NEXT STOP IT DID THE SAME AGAIN BUT TOOK SIX MINUTES BEFORE POWER STEERING WORKED. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE WHEN COLD. ONCE VEHICLE WARMS UP IT WILL WORK. AFRAID THE STEERING WILL FAIL WHILE DRIVING. KNOWN PROBLEM BY DODGE AND CHRYSLER. 2015 RAMS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SAME ISSUE I UNDERSTAND. CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY 2014 IS NOT INCLUDED. THANKS FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT, BUT IT SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NEWARK CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (244 E CLEVELAND AVE, NEWARK, DE 19711, (800)-653-0535) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

POWER STEERING FAILURE - IN MOTION - ON A CITY STREET - WHILE TURNING. VEHICLE IS OUT OF INITIAL WARRANTY (STILL UNDER 100K MILE) - BUT A MAJOR COMPONENT SUCH AS POWER STEERING SHOULD NOT BE FAILING AT 83,828 ODOMETER MILES. THE ENTIRE GEAR RACK HAS TO BE REPLACED AND THE TOTAL BILL WAS $2735.85. CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS YET TO PROVIDE ANY DETAILS EXPLAINING MANUFACTURER LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE PART. THIS VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND WELL CARED FOR - THUS THE SUBSEQUENT PHONE CALLS TO BUY MY VEHICLE FROM THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. YET, THERE IS NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THIS PART SHOULD NOT BE FAILING AT THIS EARLY MILEAGE OR THAT THEY WILL HELP ME. THERE WAS A WIRING HARNESS ISSUE WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE THAT WAS RESOLVED UNDER WARRANTY AT APPROX 30K MILES. MY VEHICLE IS PAID FOR.

VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER STEERING MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING, COMPLETELY UNABLE TO STEER THE TRUCK. RED EPS LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. UNABLE TO RESET BY RESTARTING TRUCK, OR DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY. COST OVER $2500 TO HAVE ENTIRE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING RACK REPLACED. CONCERN HAPPENED WHILE SITTING STILL, AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

ONE MORNING IN DECEMBER OF 2017, I STARTED MY PARKED TRUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME AND THE ELECTRIC STEERING STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY AT 38,000 MILES. WHETHER YOU ARE GOING FORWARD OR IN REVERSE, THE STEERING IS VERY HARD TO TURN. YOU MUST SLOW DOWN TO 10 MPH OR LESS TO BE ABLE TO TURN STEERING WHEEL AND MAINTAIN YOUR LANE. OTHERWISE YOUR TURNS WILL BE TO WIDE AND CROSS OVER INTO OPPOSING LANE OF TRAFFIC.

YESTERDAY WHILE ROUNDING CORNER ON HIGHWAY VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY DID NOT WANT TO TURN FELT LIKE IT WAS BINDING UP. HAD TO USE BOTH HANDS PULLING HARD ON WHEEL TO MAKE CORNER AND THEN THE WHEEL DID NOT CENTER ON ITS OWN. I WENT OUT OF MY LANE OF TRAFFIC FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS IN THE OTHER LANE. STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL FOR.A FEW MINUTES THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON EXIT RAMP. IT HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE IS NO WARNING BEFORE IT HAPPENS AND ELECTRIC ASSIST WARNING LIGHT HAS NEVER ACTIVATED WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED. I AM CURRENTLY AT LOCAL REPAIR SHOP HAVING THE TRUCK LOOKED AT. IN THE PAST I OWNED A TOYOTA PICKUP WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND THIS IS 20 TIMES MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHEN LOSING THE ELECTRIC ASSIST. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS WELL AS ON CITY...

IN EARLY 2018 I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE STEERING ON MY TRUCK WOULD "GUM UP". AS YOU STARTED TO MAKE A TURN THE STEERING WOULD BE FINE BUT THEN AS YOU CONTINUED THROUGH THE TURN IT WOULD TAKE MORE EFFORT TO TURN THE WHEEL. IT NEVER COMPLETELY LOCKED UP BUT THEN GO BACK TO NORMAL. TO ME IT SEEMED THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS FAILING OR LOW ON FLUID. WHEN I CHECKED I FOUND THAT THERE IS NO PUMP BUT AN ELECTRONIC MOTOR ASSIST FOR THE STEERING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REGULAR SERVICE AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT BUT SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE MY COMPLAINT. I TRIED TO INVESTIGATE WHEN IT WOULD HAPPEN BUT THERE WAS NO COMMON THING. ON APRIL 14TH I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED THAT EVEN WHILE TRACKING IN A STRAIGHT LINE THE TRUCK STEERING...

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILED ON THE TRUCK AT 60,000 MILES. THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING ON THE TRUCK. IT WAS DETERMINED THE CONTROL MODULE FAILED BUT WAS NOT REPLACEABLE BY ITSELF SINCE THE ENTIRE STEERING RACK UNIT IS SEALED SO I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE RACK. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN SEEN IN OTHER MODEL YEARS OF THIS TRUCK AND RAM ACTUALLY ISSUED A RECALL ON ONLY 440 2016 MODELS UNDER RECALL S19 AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN 16V167000. THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN AND CAN OBVIOUSLY BE VERY DANGEROUS LOSING POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. RAM REFUSED TO REIMBURSE OR PAY FOR ANY PART OF THE NEW STEERING RACK. *TT CONSUMER HAD IT REPAIR AND IS DRIVABLE.UPDATED 8/16/18*JB

2014 DODGE RAM 1500. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND STEERING WHEEL WIRE HARNESS RECALL REPAIRS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO 3 VEHICLES. UPDATED 08/7/2017*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE STEERING ABILITY WAS STIFF AND VERY HESITANT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (FRIENDLY DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP LOCATED AT 2499 STATE ROUTE 14A, PENN YAN, NY 14527) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING GEAR, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, AND RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND AGREED TO COVER THE COST DUE TO GOOD NATURE WITH A $200 DEDUCTIBLE. CASE NUMBER: 31759119 WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 39,590. UPDATED 07/18/17*LJ UPDATED 09/20/2017*JS

STEERING GEAR BOLTS BECAME LOOSE AT 28K MILES.

POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE IS FAILING INTERMITTENTLY IN COLD TEMPERATURES. SO FAR, THE FAILURES HAVE ALL BEEN ON STARTUP, BUT IT IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE MODULE HAS FAILED 8 TIMES NOW, RENDERING THE POWER STEERING NON-FUNCTIONAL. THE RAM DEALERSHIP HAS VERIFIED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM CODE INDICATING THE FAILURE. THE TRUCK HAS 32,000 MILES AND RAM IS REFUSING TO REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY. THEY INSIST THAT IT MUST FAIL COMPLETELY BEFORE THEY WILL REPLACE IT. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE PART, AND IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. RAM CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT THEY ARE POTENTIALLY ENDANGERING LIVES, AND YET THEY REFUSE TO DO THE WARRANTY WORK. I SEE OTHER REPORTS HERE OF THESE UNITS FAILING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, CAUSING A CRASH. FOR RAM TO INSIST THAT IT FAILS COMPLETELY MEANS THEY ARE RISKING A CRASH TO SAVE A...

THIS TRUCK WOBBLES AT SPEEDS OF 80 MILES PER HOUR.

TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, NOT PART OF A RECALL, REAR MAIN SEAL WAS REPLACED, REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEAL WAS REPLACED, HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT WAS REPLACED DUE TO WATER LEAKING IN THE CAB. THERE IS A CHEMICAL SMELL COMING FROM ENGINE THRU VENTS. FRONT TIRES WEARING ON THE OUTSIDE MOST LIKELY THE TIE ROD DEFECT THAT THE DEALER WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A MEDIAN AND PROCEEDING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE DROVE INTO A DITCH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RACK AND PINION STEERING MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

HEAD ON COLLISION, THAT CAUSED ENTIRE FRONT FRAME TO BE REPLACED AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY PULLED VIOLENTLY TO THE RIGHT. I WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND THE VEHICLE MADE A EXTREME TURN TO THE RIGHT STRIKING THE GUARDRAIL. THE VEHICLE THEN REBOUNDED OFF THE RAILING CAUSING THE REAR BUMPER TO STRIKE THE RAILING. THE VEHICLE THEN REBOUNDED INTO THE DRIVING LANES BEFORE I COULD REGAIN CONTROL. I THEN PULLED THE VEHICLE ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY TO SURVEY DAMAGE. AT THAT TIME I NOTICED THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL FAULT LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. SINCE THIS WAS A ONE VEHICLE ACCIDENT WITH NO INJURIES I DID NOT CONTACT EMERGENCY SERVICES. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH. THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT ON THE ROADWAY. ADDITIONALLY THERE WERE RAIN SHOWERS IN THE AREA AND THE ROADWAY WAS WET, THERE WAS NO POOLING OF WATER...

I HAVE BROUGHT MY TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO A RATTLE IN MY STEERING WHEEL. THE RATTLE OCCURS WHEN TRAVELING FROM A STANDSTILL UP TO 30 MILES PER HOUR. THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THIS SITUATION THE WEEK THAT THE BOUGHT THE TRUCK. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT BACK 5 TIMES, AND EACH TIME THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY STEERING SYSTEM. THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD HEAR THE RATTLE, AND WOULD FIX IT. THE FIRST 3 TIMES IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER, THEY SENT ME AWAY STATING THAT THEY CORRECTED THE ISSUE. ONCE I GOT BACK HOME, AND ENCOUNTERED BUMPY ROADS, THE RATTLE WAS STILL THERE. THE FOLLOWING 2 TIMES IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SENT ME AWAY STATING THAT THEY WOULD NOT WORK ON MY VEHICLE ANY FURTHER BECAUSE THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING THE RATTLE. THEY HAVE RESEATED...

TRAVELING WEST ON I-4, ORLANDO, FL BETWEEN SAND LAKE ROAD AND EXIT TO 528E AT 1:25 PM IN LEFT HAND LANE. AS I ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE LANES TO THE RIGHT I ACCELERATED SLIGHTLY AND FELT A "THUMP" (THE ONLY WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT) THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE TRUCK SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND FISH TAILED. I LOST CONTROL FOR THAT INSTANT AND MY TRUCK STRUCK THE VEHICLE TO MY LEFT IN THE REAR BY THE TAIL LIGHTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF MY TRUCK AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS DID THE OTHER VEHICLE. MY COMPLAINT CENTERS ON WHY THE TRUCK SUDDENLY ACCELERATED; WHAT WAS THE "THUMP" THAT I FELT; IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION (NEW DESIGN FOR 2014) AND THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL; WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS SUDDEN ACCELERATION? HAVE THERE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE ON...

I WAS DRIVING MY DODGE RAM 1500 FROM MILWAUKEE, WI TO MEMPHIS, TN ON A VACATION. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 80 MPH, I NOTICED A LOT OF SHAKING AND VIBRATING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL THRU THE ENTIRE CAB OF THE TRUCK. I NOTICED THE SAME THING WHEN DRIVING BACK HOME FROM MEMPHIS. I HAD TAKEN MY TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER AT AN EARLIER DATE, HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY DIDN'T NOTICE ANY VIBRATING WHEN THEY DROVE THE TRUCK. THEY DID SHARE THAT THEY COULD NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT EXCESSIVE SPEEDS, HOWEVER GAVE ME THE SAME INFORMATION IN MY LATEST COMPLAINT ON 7/23/2015. I SHARED MY CONCERNS PRIOR TO HEARING ABOUT THE CURRENT RECALL ON DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCKS AND HOPE THAT MY VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE ANY SAFETY ISSUES THAT COULD LEAD TO INJURY.

TODAY IS JULY 10, 2015. THE VEHICLE IS 2014 DODGE RAM 1500 CREW CAB PICKUP PURCHASE NEW. ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHERE THE HORN AND AIRBAG ARE LOCATED THE SEAM CRACKED OR SEPARATED STARTING JUST BELOW THE LETTER "S" STAMPED ON IT FOR SRS AIRBAGS AND IF YOU ARE SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT AND LOOKING AT THE WHEEL THE CRACK OR SEPARATION CONTINUES FROM THAT POINT AND RUNS STRAIGHT TO THE RIGHT AND UP TO THE END OF THE COVER FOR THE SRS AIRBAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN THE HORN IS PRESSED THE CASING WHICH IS CRACKED OR SEPARATED SCRATCHES YOU OR YOUR FINGERS GET STUCK OR CAUGHT INSIDE THE OPENING. THE DEALER STATED THAT BECAUSE THE MILEAGE IS OVER THE 3 YEAR 36000 MILE WARRANTY IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. HOWEVER, IF WE AGREED TO HAVE ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE DONE TODAY UNRELATED TO THE FREE OIL CHANGE THEY...
