Recently reported STEERING problems on 2014 RAM 1500

The steering of the wheel is rough. i have to use small movements. it's like something is stuck or no power steering fluid. since there is no fluid, only electrical, there is something wrong with the electrical portion of the power steering pump

While driving the 2014 ram 1500 the vehicle has lost power numerous times. this is an intermittent issue and i have not been able to duplicate on the spot. this means that the lose of power can happen at any given time. this lose of power will result in losing steering and sometimes braking, since all are controlled by electronics. these occurrences have happened while normal driving conditions; rolling up windows, turning on bright lights, and just driving.

I have a 2014 ram with around 48k miles. back in february while driving i lost steering. luckily, i was able to get out of the way of a oncoming vehicle. i had my truck towed due to the safety issue of not being able to steer into my normal service dealer. they replaced the alternator stating that was the issue that made the truck lose steering. since then i have taken the truck back a few times with steering issues and they are not able to 'duplicate' the issue so cannot fix it. this past friday 11/15/2019 i went to leave my house and once again while i was driving the truck it lost steering and this time power dropped. i again had it towed into the service dealer on 11/18/2019. today 11/22/2019 they stated that again they could not duplicate the issue. they did find error codes about voltage but however stated that the computer 'fixed itself' and cannot fix the steering issues. with all this i love my truck, however with the with the safety of myself, my family, and others on the road in mind driving this truck while the steering can possibly go out at ...

Steering wheel doesn't lock and sensor is also causing cruise control to malfunction. this could be unsafe if that sensor controls anything else

Driving to indiana to see my grandbabies and the check electronic trailer brakes came on the check electronic braking system light came on. cruise control stopped working and lost power, the same thing happened on the way back to kentucky. i had the brakes done, but mechanic said it's a sensor i the steering column. this is really dangerous and needs to be recalled.

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 out of the original warranty. leslie says it is not part of the 100,000 mile drive train warranty. i was considering purchasing a new ram truck as well but absolutely will not based on this experience as i will apparently have to pay at least $2,300 to repair a hazardous ...

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.

'takata recall' electrical power went out in my 2014 dodge ram 1500. went to the dealership, they replaced the pdc for $737.69 and a day after the power steering stopped while driving and almost crashed into several cars. *dt *dt*jb vehcile was repaired.*jb

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 is going to lock up. i know my truck has over 100,000 miles but there are 2018 in there that barely have any on them.
