I purchased a 2019 ram 1500 two weeks ago. i quickly started experiencing power steering failures (unexpectedly), i noticed the ac didn't work, and the mirrors ratchet when adjusted. i had it looked at by a dealership where they fixed the power steering, at least temporarily. of course we didn't experience power steering problems until me and my family went on a cross country trip. intermittent power steering failures in unfamiliar area, at night, and in poor weather made traveling in my new truck very stressful. i still don't have power steering and we are getting ready to drive home from thanksgiving on saturday (in two days). this is extremely dangerous, i've had too many close calls on this trip with power steering re-engaging causing me to serve out of my lane. please help!
While driving truck at low speed, power steering stopped working, making it difficult to steer. within a minute, the power steering randomly began working again. over correction at this point could have caused a serious crash. called dealership and was told to activate assist button to have truck towed because it is not safe to drive. truck was towed to dealership for service. was told there was a recall for this issue--loose ground wire in front driver fender area. was told issue was fixed. picked up truck. within weeks, loss of power steering recurred while driving at 35-40 mph, then abruptly resumed in about a minute. again, overcorrection at this point could have resulted in serious crash. my truck has since been in the service department at the dealership and it has been over 2 months! this qualifies it as a lemon in accordance with my state's lemon law. i'm told they are not able to reproduce issue and so warranty will not allow them to work on fixing it. filed complaint with fca and a case was opened but have been bounced around to several case managers and currently no one is returning my inquiries. i have requested a ...
Lost power steering while backing up a camper trailer
I'm having an issue with the steering on my new 2019 ram 1500 new body laramie longhorn. i now have 10,000 miles on the vehicle. i noticed this when i first obtained delivery. most of my driving has been on rather straight roads with a few curves. i'm in colorado on the east side of the mountains. this week we took a trip up into the mountains. took some paved back roads and off the interstate driving. drove about 12 hours. when turning the wheel to the right for a curve in the road, the steering wheel centers correctly, as all vehicles would that are aligned properly. however, a left hand curve at just about any speed, has a catch in it. it will want to continue turning left even after i'm out of the curve. it's as if there's a high spot in a round gear or a tight cog in a gear. i have to put pressure on the wheel to pull it back. i've had the alignment checked. i mentioned something to the dealer after first noticing it, and he suggested the button that will pull back the wheel when the truck wanders out of the lane. ...

After traveling at highway speeds, approximately 70 mph, for 10 to 20 minutes the steering will stick at around the 1100 to 1000 o'clock position during left hand turns on interstates. if left alone the steering will not realign at the 12 o'clock position and vehicle will continue to veer left . you must manually steer right past a noticeable detent in the steering path to return the wheel to correct position. the longer you drive the more noticeable the sticking becomes and more force is required to bring the wheel back to center. as the force requirement increases the increase of overcorrections occurs. this is quickly becoming very dangerous. of note is the fact this will not occur below highway speeds even after traveling at highway speeds for 20 minutes. once you go below 60 the malfunction will not duplicate. this vehicle has had all required recall repairs for ground cable prior to purchase. maintenance appointment with dealer is set within the week.
While making a slight left turn about 10 to 11 o clock steering wheel is locking up and have to force the wheel to center. very dangerous in the rain and i could only imagine what would happen in the winter time. i notice it more getting on the on ramp or back country roads with a speed range from 20 to 45 mph. the dealer crown dodge in greensboro nc says that i need to do a 4 wheel alignment to make sure right and that i have to pay for because its not covered under warranty. truck has 12160 miles. code in the system for steering angle sensor. this is unsafe and my truck has been sitting at the dealership for weeks now with no final repair.

Feels like the steering is sticking when turning left and right when turning.
Steering wheel will stick and not return to center when turning left or veering left at highway speeds and when entering on ramps to highways. this can be a serious safety issue as it takes excessive force to bring the wheel back to center, which could lead to overcompensation and eventually wrecking.
Steering sticks when in a left turn at highway speed have to forcibly recenter it when coming out of the turn it will keep turning left if pressure on the wheel is relaxed.
While my 2019 ram 1500 is in motion, it has a pull / drift to the right. the pull / drift to the right occurs when lightly holding the steering wheel or momentarily letting go of the steering wheel. the pull / drift to the right occurs on all types of road surfaces. the grade of the road does impact the pull / drift as it is exaggerated with a steeper rightward grade, however it will drive straight if the road has a slight leftward grade. with a mild rightward grade, i have to put a little leftward pressure on the steering wheel to keep it from veering right. this occurs at speeds of 10 to 80mph on city streets and highways. if the driver gets distracted for a moment, the vehicle will unintentionally change lanes or pull the vehicle off the road. i have had it serviced and the alignment checked 4 times at corwin chrysler dodge jeep ram in fargo, nd and they tell me the alignment is within spec and there is nothing else they can do. tire pressure is equal in all four tires. the service manager ...
Steering wheel occasionally does not return to center when turning left. i can let go of steering wheel and it will stick in the 10 o'clock position for example.
