2014 RAM 1500 Complaints

While driving during a cold spell. Power steering just went out while negotiating a curve. With the sudden loss of power steering vehicle was partially pulled from the roadway. After stopping and regrouping noticed there is red steering wheel warning light on the cluster. In warm weather there is no issue seems. Only happens in colder weather.

I was driving truck and was taking a right turn and the steering locked up and I almost smashed into car. I stopped truck and backed up and put onto drive and it took all my strength to turn the wheel to the right. Had truck towed and found out that the electronic steering went bad. This problem needs to be looked at because someone is going to get hurt or killed if the steering goes out at higher speeds

My electric steering went out while driving almost causing an accident and the whole unit has to be replaced and it’s around $2900. I’m filing a complaint because I notice online I’m not the only one having this issue that millions of people have had this problem and no recall for my truck to fix this issue. I just had an engine and going to have the power steering put in when it comes in. I had to replace the motor due to the lifters and the mds tearing up my motor. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

This is the 4th time it's happened and also the 2nd time iv almost been killed!! I have a 2014 ram 1500 which iv grown to love. Iv have alot of issues but never complained and just took care of ... yet the gauge cluster display decides to go into a party mode (strobing) and flickering or just flat out going black!!! I have bad eyes and twice now within 2 months driving at night iv gone off the road because of the flashing in my eyes! Iv found this is a common issue but the dealer told me I cannot get it fixed even though it's been recalled under other trucks! This has almost killed me! Please all I'm asking is to fix this for me... I love this truck but I'm terrified to drive it now with this issue let alone get rid of it and God for bid someone else has an accident . Please help a ram fan pile on the miles with a safe vehicle.. thank you for your time, im sorry for the long message but this is very serious and obviously a safety issue . Again, iv gone off the road and avoided a very serious incident that was caused by a faulty part. I completly understand parts going bad and having to replace them out of pocket. NOTHING SHOULD WORK FINE ONE MINUTE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN START STROBBING IN ANYONES FACE . Thank you again

I see there is a recall on some trucks of the same model for fuel tank strap. I looked at mine and notice one of the straps is broken. I can not find the recall for my truck but others have one.

Safety Recall Z46 has not been resolved, for 18 months, due to "parts not available"! If it's truly a SAFETY issue, how can this not be addressed in a timely fashion?

While idle at a stop light, the emergency brake warning is triggered and immediately after the truck turns off and the shifter locks while on drive. Another code pops up prompting to shift to park but the shifter is locked on drive.
