On Friday August 2nd. 2024 approximately 11am I was driving my 2019 ram 1500 laramie. At about 28 mph my truck lost power steering. Message in my dashboard says Power steering unavailable. The steering was very hard, harder when the engine is not running. I pulled over and waited 10mns and restarted the truck and everything went well. And I drove off it happened again within 10mns or 5mi. Same thing pulled over waited 5mns and restarted the truck and the message is gone and truck drove like normal. It happened 3 times within 15mi of driving. Take it to the dealership and they confirm my steering wheel rack electric module has failed and quoted my $3500 for repair.

Fuel filler does not allow fuel to enter at normal rate, causes pump to constantly kick off, annoying at first but now has become a safety hazard as some pumps now make fuel spit back out when filling, no warning lamps, took it to the dealer said it is a common issue, bad rollover valve needs a new tank, would not warranty the item because even though the truck has a decal under the hood stating that it California emissions, it does not have a California emission sales code.

I was driving and the truck shut off causing me to stop in the middle of an intersection. I had to steer the the truck with no power steering. If I was going faster I would have crashed. This is what the Dealership found. CONFIRMED NO START CONDITION. SCANNED VEHICLE AND FOUND DTC P0340-CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT - BANK 1 SENSOR 1. VERIFIED GETTING FUEL AND SPARK. PERFORMED COMPRESSION TEST. 0 PSI. HAS FAST CRANK. REMOVED PASSENGER VALVE COVER AND CRANKED ENGINE. NO MOVEMENT. REMOVED TIMING COVER TO INSPECT. FOUND TIMING CHAIN SNAPPED. TENSIONER IN PIECES. CHAIN GUIDES DESTROYED. ENGINE OVERROTATED. BENT VALVES. DAMAGED CYLINDER HEADS. CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. RECOMMENDING REPLACEMENT OF LONG BLOCK

The truck with provide warnings "front/rear sensors temporarily disabled" and "service shifter" before starting to shift itself back and forth between 1st and 3rd gear. When it does this it will often stay in whatever gear it is in when accelerating and not shift with no regard for speed.

Was driving 40mph when my power steering failed, came up with a warning message: “Power Steering Unavailable Service Required,” then the engine shut off WHILE STILL DRIVING. I had two of my kids with me in the truck. Fortunately I was able to coast through a green light and muscle the powerless truck into a parking lot. Waited for about 15 min and the truck started back up with no check engine lights. The risk of crash or injury is huge - I’m extremely thankful this didn’t happen on a highway or while towing my travel trailer. My truck is useless until the dealer takes a look. My fear is that the dealer won’t be able to replicate the fault when I have the truck towed in. This is the second of two times this has happened in 2 days. The first was in the driveway with the exact same symptoms.
