2015 RAM 1500 Complaints

Had a medical issue and loss of consciousness while heading to work. Was wearing a seatbelt, cruise was set at 57. Vehicle left the road and hit a tree head on. Airbags did not deploy and driver sustained vision loss and development of thoracic fusiform aneurysm from the impact.

Power Steering in and out. Could be driving and making a turn and all of a sudden the power steering fails and wheel tightens up

Steering issues, it is becoming difficult, as the steering wheel is getting harder to turn at times or either to loose. The steering is partially crooked as well. I have had an alignment completed on 8/3/2023, but the issue is still there.

The power steering failed while driving at 60 mph putting me and my wife and other motorists at dangerous risk. The truck has been parked and unable to drive. There was no previous warning until the power assist failed and locked up also before stopping the only warning was when this happened driving and the message was service power steering and a red blinking icon

Power steering appeared to malfunction. Vehicle was difficult to steer, and wheel would not return to center when turning to the left. Problem is intermittent, dealer/mechanic has not replicated the issue, and there is no police or insurance report to go witn it as there was no accident. Visual inspection of the vehicle show no broke or worn suspension components. No warning lights were present, and no symptoms leading up to the event. The concern started about a week ago on 8/2/23

I was driving home when the power steering suddenly failed and I received an emergency alert on my dashboard simultaneously. I was in the middle of heavy traffic and I had cars to my left and a curb and sidewalk to my right. There was no prior warning to this event. There was nowhere for me to pull over when the incident occurred, but I was able to nurse the vehicle to my home. I took the vehicle to my dealer where they determined that I needed a complete new rack and pinion power steering. Dealer installed NAPA approved part which cost me $1878.28 plus $390.89 for the installation. Total cost of this specific repair was $2269.17. The incident and repair took place in October 2022. The NAPA approved part was selected due to the timeliness of the repair needed.

I was pulling out from my street that connects to a two lane highway. From my street you can see if cars are coming from quite a distance away. There was a semi truck in the distance going east bound in the direction I needed to torn into. There was absolutely enough room for me to merge out into the east bound lane without the semi truck even being affected. I was now about a 1/4 mile down the road and the semi was still aways back. Then, my truck started to sputter and not accelerate and as this a two lane road there at this point was nowhere to pull over. The semi was now coming up quick due to loss of power in my truck. I turned on my hazards by this time he was close and had to make an evasive lane change to avoid running into the back of me. Luckily, there was no on coming traffic. This is not the first incident of my truck losing power and almost being rear-ended. I purchased the truck from a dealer in December of 2022. They have not been of any help, and frankly they are not willing to do a thing to help. I'm at a loss and have no idea what to do. I feel I was sold a truck with a potentially dangerous recall that can cause a major car accident which could result in death. There is no resolve for this recall at this time. This recall not only puts my family at risk, it endangers the general public.
