I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY AND MY RANGE SHOWED 0 MILES TO EMPTY. DOESNT DO THIS EVERYTIME I DRIVE, BUT IT DOES THIS ON OCCASSION. ALSO, I STARTED MY TRUCK ONE DAY AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED 12-14. IS IT POSSIBLE THIS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM JANUARY 22ND, 2015 - SEPTEMBER 13TH, 2015?

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING GRADUALLY FAILED INCIDENT TO A STRIKE ON A CONCRETE VERTICAL POLE WHILE IN A TURN APPROX 10MPH IN PARKING LOT. ALIGNMENT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY OFF. ALIGNED, BUT THE STEERING STILL CAUGHT/ FRICTION DURING TURNS, STEERING WOULD NO LONGER SCENTER UP. TOOK TO 3RD PARTY, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE. BARELY USED VEHICLE, AND AFTER PARKING AND POWER OFFF, AT NEXT START THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING TOTALLY FAILED, NEEDED TO APPLY 40-50 LBS OF FORCE ON STEERING WHEEL TO GET IT TO DO LIMITED TURNING, AND IT WOULD FREEZE IN THE NEW POSITION. UNDRIVEABLE, PAID TO TOW TO DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS NOT DUE TO STRIKING THE BOLLARD, BUT THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND IT STARTED RIGHT THEN AFTER STRIKING THE BOLLARD, AND THAT IT BECAME WORSE OVER THE NEXT 2 WEEKS WITH VERY LITTLE USE THEN TOTALLY FAILED. THERE IS A RECALL, BUT NOT MY VIN.

LOSES POWER STEERING AT SLOWER CITY SPEEDS AND WHILE MAKING TURNS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE POWER STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL, BUT CONTINUED TO FAIL INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. ED KOEHN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (11282 W CARSON CITY RD, GREENVILLE, MI 48838, (616) 754-3635) STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS VERY CLOSE TO BEING INCLUDED IN AN UNKNOWN OUTSTANDING RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST, EXTRA STEERING EFFORT. VISIBLE RUST ON OUTSIDE OF CIRCUIT BOARD ON METAL COVER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BETTEN BAKER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF BIG RAPIDS (14061 NORTHLAND DR, BIG RAPIDS, MI 49307, (231) 796-2651) BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,586.

WHILE TURNING, STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. THE STEERING ASSIST WENT OUT AND THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE DANGEROUS SITUATION LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING TURNING ON TO A MAJOR HWY. I TURNED RIGHT & HAD TO IMMEDIATELY TURN BACK LEFT WHILE SWERVING INTO THE OTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE VEERED OFF THE ROAD AND CRASHED INTO A SMALL DITCH. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO PEACOCK CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT (265 DRIVERS WAY A, HARDEEVILLE, SC 29927, (843) 208-1200). THE DEALER STATED THAT AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM RESTARTING. ALSO, THE TIE ROD WAS FRACTURED AND REPAIRED BY THE CONTACT. THE DEALER QUOTED A REPAIR COST OF $2,500 FOR THE POWER STEERING MODULATOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING. NO CODES, VERY HARD TO STEER AND STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT CORRECT ITSELF STRAIGHT AFTER TURNING A CORNER.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED TO REPLACE THE RACK. MY VEHICLE HAS 38,000 MILES ON IT. NO VEHICLE SHOULD NEED A NEW RACK AT 38,000 MILES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE POWER STEERING CAN GO OUT AT ANY TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT LOWER SPEEDS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING TURNS, WHICH INCREASED THE RISK OF A CRASH. REAGLE DODGE RAM (1223 BLUE VALLEY DR, PEN ARGYL, PA 18072, (610) 863-6900) DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM WAS FAILING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA AND THE LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

POWER STEERING IS INTERMITTENT AND QUITS ASSISTING DURING TURNS. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION ON ALL TYPES OF ROADS.

TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR A RECALL REFLASH OF A CONTROLLER. TWO WEEKS LATER, AT 58MPH, WITHOUT WARNING DASHBOARD LITE UP NUMEROUS SYMBOLS/CODES AND ENGINE SHUTOFF, LOSING POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. I STEERED VEHICLE ONTO SIDE OF ROAD, AND ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. TOOK FIRST DEALERSHIP 4 WEEKS TO DIAGNOSIS A CRANK POSITION TONE WHEEL, AND SENSOR FAILURE. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED THEN 2 WEEKS LATER, WHILE REFUELING AT A GAS STATION SAME FAILURE OCCURRED WITH DIESEL ENGINE STOPPAGE, AND NO RESTART. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SECOND CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SECOND DEALERSHIP FOR 11 WEEKS, "UNDERGOING DIAGNOSIS". AS OF 6/6/2019, NO SOLUTION FOUND. FRANKLY, I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY HAVE A CLUE WHAT IS CAUSING THE RANDOM ENGINE SHUT OFF, NOR HOW TO REPAIR IT. THIS IS WHAT MAKES IT SUCH A FRIGHTENING DEFECT. IT APPEARS RANDOM, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING UNTIL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP AND...

I AM HAVING INTERMITTENT EPISODES WHERE IT IS HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT FEELS LIKE WHEN A VEHICLE IS LOW ON POWER STEERING FLUID BUT THIS VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE A POWER STEERING PUMP.

POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING

WITHIN THE LAST 30 DAYS, MY TRUCK HAS LOST POWER STEERING CAPABILITIES NUMEROUS TIMES. IT VARIES WHEN THIS OCCURS AS WELL. IT COULD BE A FULL HIGHWAY SPEED, DRIVING SLOWLY THROUGH A PARKING LOT OR EVEN WHILE STATIONARY. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE CENTER FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND WAS TOLD THE STEERING IS ONE ELECTRIC UNIT SO I DID SOME RESEARCH WITH MY MECHANIC AND FOUND A LIMITED RECALL ON 2015-16 RAM 1500S FOR THE POWER STEERING ECM. AT THIS POINT, I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE A FULL RECALL. AT THIS TIME WE CANNOT FIND THE PARTS TO FIX THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY ARE SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE DUE TO SUCH HIGH DEMAND FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS MOST LIKELY DUE TO THE SAME ISSUES I'M EXPERIENCING WITH MY VEHICLE.

STARTING A FEW MONTHS AGO POWER STEERING WOULD OCCASIONALLY GO OUT BUT THEN IT WOULD CORRECT ITSELF SO I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A GLITCH. NOW IT HAS BEGUN AGAIN AND IT HAS NOT CORRECTED ITSELF. OCCURS WHEN TURNING AT ANY SPEED.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST. ATTEMPTED TO HAVE DEALER FIX AS MY REGULAR MECHANIC INFORMED ME OF 2016 RECALL. 519-NHTSA-16V/167. DEALER TOLD ME MY VEHICLE DID NOT SHOW ANY RECALLS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED AND THE POWER ASSIST WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO LAFONTAINE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF FENTON (16555 SILVER PKWY, FENTON, MI 48430, (810) 714-3300) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING RACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,356.*DT *DT CONSUMER STATED NO WORK WAS DONE , THEY HOOKED UP THE DEVICE TO DIAGNOSE IT. IN THAT PROCESS THE SYSTEM WAS RESET AND THE ISSUE CLEARED OUT. ESTIMATE REPAIRS CAME OUT TO 2500 DOLLARS. *JB CONSUMER STATED THEY DID NOT PERFORM ANY REPAIRS.*JB

STEERING WHEEL IS STIFF AND HAS FLAT SPOTS IN IT. PEOPLE AT DEALER SHIP SAID CHECK POWER STEERING RESERVOIR, AND MY TRUCK IS ALL ELECTRICAL. THE STIFFNESS COMES AND GOES. AND THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A SQUEAKING SOUND EVERY TIME I TURN. IT DOES IT EVER TIME I DRIVE AND WHEN I AM STATIONARY AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT CALLED SOLOMON CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE BROWNSVILLE AT 724-785-8000 (LOCATED AT 409 NATIONAL PIKE W, BROWNSVILLE, PA 15417) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND SEIZED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE ENGINE WAS STARTED OR WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VANCAMPEN MOTORS INC. (601 WEST 3RD STREET, WILLIAMSPORT, PA 17701, (570) 326-0567) AND THE FAILURE WAS DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V161000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,775.

THE POWER STEERING IS CUTTING OUT RANDOMLY WITHOUT NOTICE. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN TURNING OR CHANGING LANES OR DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF A CRASH INJURING US OR OTHERS. THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, (S19) BUT WE MISS IT BY 1 MONTH. SEEING WE HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS OTHERS WITH SAME MODEL AND YEAR, WE FEEL THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED.

WENT TO THE GAS STATION EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I GO TO LEAVE AND I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. I HAD TO DRIVE THROUGH OUR CITY TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY TO GET HOME. IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER ALL THE WAY HOME ESPECIALLY THE SLOWER I WENT. WHEN I GOT HOME I SEE ON THE INTERNET THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MODULE. BUT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS YET. THIS HAPPENED WITH ONLY 72000.

I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2015 DODGE RAM 1500 A COUPLE DAYS AGO IT GAVE ME A MESSAGE TELLING ME I HAD TO GET MY POWER STEERING SERVICED. DURING THAT DAY I LET MY VEHICLE RUN FOR 20 MINUTES AND IT WORKED FINE AFTER THAT. HOWEVER, A COUPLE DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT WHEN I WAS TURNING ON A BUSY CITY STREET COMING BACK FROM DINNER THE STEERING LOCKED UP OUT OF NOWHERE AND I HAD TO USE EXTRA FORCE TO NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE NEXT DAY, I VISITED MY LOCAL DEALER PLANET DODGE AND I INFORMED THEM ON THE ISSUE AND THEY RAN MY VIN AND SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE THE RECALL WHICH IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE THE RECALL FOR THAT PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS FOR THE VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BEFORE SEPTEMBER OF 2015 AND MINES BEING FEBRUARY OF 2015. I'M STARTING TO GET...

MY TRUCK KEEPS LOOKING UP THE STEERING WHEEL. EVERY MORNING WHEN I FIRST START THE TRUCK I HAVE TO LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES. AFTER THE 45 MINUTES I TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND ON AGAIN AND THE STEERING WILL UNLOCK. ITS UNLOCKS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION TEMP REACHES ABOUT 190 DEGREES. SOMETIMES THE STEERING LOCKS WHILE I'M DRIVING. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO DOGE AND THEY SAID FOR ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND PAY FOR AN ESTIMATE THEN TO SEND IT TO THEM FOR THEM TO SEE IF THEY'LL COVER IT. MY HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK FOR OTHER RECALLS TO PLANET DODGE IN MIAMI AND THEY'VE TOLD ME THEY'VE HAD PLENTY OF TRUCKS LIKE MINE COME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BEING SOMETIMES WHEN I AM TURNING ITS LOCKED UP. I AM AWARE THERE ARE RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE FROM...

STEERING LOCKS UP. EVERY TIME I GO TO START MY DODGE RAM 1500 2015 THE STEERING IS LOCKED. THE TRUCK NEEDS TO BE AT HIGH TEMPERATURES TO UNLOAD CLEAN THE STEERING. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU START DRIVING IT LOCKS UP AGAIN. THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO GO CAUSE ACCIDENTS. THE DODGE DEALER IN MIAMI FLORIDA PLANET DODGE IS AWARE OF THESE ISSUES ON THESE VEHICLES. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL

WHEN I WOKE UP MY RAM'S STEERING WAS LOCKED AND I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE I NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS SO I WAITED AND WAITED UNTIL IT REACHED 190* F TO BE ABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL THEN I SAFELY DROVE MY VEHICLE TO SCHOOL AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN MY TRUCK AT 2:20 THE STEERING WAS LOCKED AGAIN AND I'M SHOCKED AGAIN BECAUSE I NEVER HAD A CAR THAT HAD PROBLEMS. TO MY CONCERN THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE ANYONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM CAN SERIOUSLY CAUSE A BAD CAR ACCIDENT THAT WAS NOT MEANT TO HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE.

VEHICLE IS STRUGGLING REALLY HARD TO TURN JUST GOING AROUND A CURVE IN THE ROAD. THIS IS MAKING IT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO HAVING TO STRONG ARM EVERY TURN OF THE WHEEL AND NOT BEING ABLE TO MAKE SUDDEN TURNS IN THE EVENT IT IS NECESSARY. I BELIEVE IT IS THE POWER STEERING THAT HAS FAILED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH AND MAKING A TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V167000 (STEERING).

I HAVE A 2015 DODGE RAM 1500 AND I HAVE A PROBLEM WHERE I'LL GO TO START MY VEHICLE AND THE POWER STEERING JUST LOCKS UP UNTIL MY TRANSMISSION REACHES 180*F I BELIEVE THE ISSUE MIGHT BE THE STEERING COLUMN BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED AND LOWERED I THINK IT CAUSED TOO MUCH STRESS TO THE U JOINTS OR SOMETHING HAPPENED. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE FCA WILL NOT REPORT THIS AS A RECALL BECAUSE I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER AND 100+ CARS ARE IN THERE FOR THE SAME REASON EVEN STATE POLICE CARS .

NOISE ON STEERING. INTERMEDIATED SHAFT COLUMN JOINT CLOSE OF FUEL/BRAKE PEDALS.

THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH THE HORN, AIRBAG AND STEERING/ELECTRICAL.
