2013 RAM 1500 Complaints

The electric power steering failed on the truck. It is almost impossible to turn. Sometimes it will work again after cranking the vehicle only to have it fail again in few minutes. This makes the truck undrivable and unsafe.

Loss of Power Steering. I had my vehicle towed to "Conway Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 2385 Church Street, Conway, SC 29526. (843) 365-7331. It has been there for approximately two (2) months. I was told that they are waiting on parts. I found out that there are hundreds other, same type complaints, reported to this agency. Please advise what steps should I take to resolve this issue. Thanks.

After picking up some supplies from the store, I was about to make a left turn onto main road from the parking lot area when the electric power steering went out, so I had to turn the steering with tremendous force to get into a safe spot. So I contacted two shops and one quoted me for like $3900 and would take months to get replacement parts. Also, contacted another shop as well and still haven't heard from them.

My abs control computer has failed. No abs/esc or cruise control. Dodge says the controller is on engineering hold and will not be available until March of 2024 at the earliest. This has been out since May. It is a safety issue that I need repaired. I cannot believe it has taken so long to get the part.

My ABS module is defective. My power steering goes, my ABS system lights come on and off. My braking comes and goes. I brought it to the dodge dealership and they said that dodge is remanufactifing the parts as it’s a huge issue they are having and said just to drive it or don’t but with no other help.

Power Steering. Yes it is available for inspection. Yes my safety along with passengers and other drivers were / are at risk. The power steering will sometimes work and suddenly stop working while making a maneuver. Rendering the steering wheel useless. This makes it difficult / impossible to avoid obstacles. And makes it hard to make a common maneuver such as making a turn. It has been diagnosed by the Dodge dealer of a failed steering rack. Vehicle has not been inspected by manufacturer, just dealer. Warning message appears after steering wheel locks up. No advanced warning.

The power steering completely went out. I could not turn my truck safely. Manual steering was wat too hard to turn. Had my truck towed. Now the dealer tells me I can't get a new electric steering rack for 3 months or more. The vehicle is unsafe to drive!

Sudden and complete loss of power steering Was able to get safely off the road using extreme force on the steering wheel. Had vehicle towed to dodge dealership where they now are informing me that the electric power steering unit has failed. This is the same issue they had a recall for on newer models! Luckily nobody was hurt this time!

Traveling at highway speed and power steering completely went out making it difficult to steer. Putting my family at risk of an accident. Incident was inspected but a dealership and was found that the power steering module had an internal fault. Power steering light came on in the truck.

Started truck, steering was extremely difficult to turn. Took to dealer, said other years of this truck experienced similar issue. Dealer diagnosis - Internal failure in steering rack module. Replaced. Cost - $2942.46
