While driving my work today i was taking a left turn and my power steering stopped working. my car had the power steering light pop up and also my screen in my gauge clustered said, "power steering unavailable service required." i literally almost crashed into a huge electrical pole. due to my steering while becoming extremely stiff. my current milage is 2270.6 miles. about a minute later my power steering came back and my truck was fine. while parking my truck at work in the parking lot about 5 min. after the first failure my power steering failed again but came back within seconds. on the way home from work tonight my power steering failed and didn't come back for about 8mins/several miles. my power steering continues to fail then come back to normal then fail again. the vehicle was in motion and on a city street. this occurs randomly while turning and or going straight.
The power steering stops working intermittently. it may be for a few seconds, or a few minutes. i may go a couple of days without a failure, when it does happen, it tends to happen several times in a short period of time. it has happened at all speeds on city streets and highways.

Purchased 2019 ram 1500 around 9/8/2018 one week after having it the steering wheel started sticking only when turning to the left at highway speeds. since then the problem has greatly increased. this does it as stated on sweeping turns on the interstate or highway speeds only. i have to jerk the steering wheel back to the right in a hard motion to get the truck going back straight after these turns. this is scary and causes the truck to sway at such speeds. there was a recall on the steering however this did not correct the issue. it is currently in its 4th trip to the dealership for repair. this has been going on for 9 months without being corrected. it is to the point i have parked the truck as i do not feel safe in driving it.
Vehicle in a left hand turn over 30 mph will not correct itself and has to be manually corrected or the vehicle continues turning left. ram acknowledges the problem but no solution as of this date december 1, 2019. ram rapid response team stated "if customer maintains contact with the steering wheel their is no safety issue."
The steering went out due to a pcm failure. the dealer said that the pcm shut down the steering due to sensing too much voltage from generator to protect this unit. i was traveling on us highway 400 at 50mph when it would not steer left or right. it would only go straight. i feel that ram needs to put something else in line so that steering is not shut off if this happens again.
Since purchase my 2019 ram truck has lots of issues with the 12 inch screen. it controls everything on the truck. the screen goes blank all the time and you are not able to control any thing on the truck , steps , air condition, heat etc.... when the screen acts up the auto retractable running boards stay out until around 15 mph. also the ac and heat will automatically come on and you cant shut if off, no controls will work. i have 27 videos of my truck not working right and all dealer says is sorry we cant duplicate. the steering is also always off. the steering wheel gets off to the left then goes off to the right. dealer states it takes 500 miles for it to auto align it self to re learn center. feel free to call [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tt
