2013 RAM 1500 Complaints

TURNED MY TRUCK ON AT APPROX 45 DEGREES F. RECEIVED A "POWER STEERING WARNING" MESSAGE AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON AND NO WARNING LIGHT CAME UP AND POWER STEERING RETURNED. IT HAPPENED LATER THAT MORNING AS WELL. I LET THE TRUCK SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND AGAIN THE WARNING WENT AWAY AND POWER STEERING RETURNED. I CAUTIOUSLY DROVE THE TRUCK HOME AND HAVE NOT MOVED IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO A PRIOR RECALL OR SIMILAR ONE FOR THE EPS SYSTEM. I HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER THIS WILL GO OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING THE VEHICLE SO I'M NOT TAKING MY CHANCES.

ALL GAUGES STOPPED WORKING. CLUSTER REPLACED 3 TIMES STILL NOT WORKING AT ALL *LN*JB Consumer has contacted dispute center as well as highway safety board.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STATIONARY, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. AFTER RESTARTING VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 5 TIMES THE STEERING WHEEL RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATIONS. THE CONTACT STATED SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19E077000 (STEERING) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE.

THE TRUCK ACTS LIKE IT WAS RESTARTED WHEN IM DRIVING DOWN ROAD . THE LIGHTS GO OUT ALL THE GAGES TURN OFF AND RESET ITS NOT A GOOD THING WHEN U ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THEN THE ONE TIME ON 01/09/2020 IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES THIS MONTH AN BE FOR THAT IT WOULD DO IT HERE AND THERE. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED IT THE DEALER HAD IT EVERY WEEK FOR 3 MONTHS BUT IT NEVER DID IT FOR THEM BUT THERE SHOULD BE SOME RECORDS OF ME HAVING IT IN THERE. IT WOULD HAPPEN AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM 30 MPH TO 60 MPH

12-5-21 DRIVING TO AND FROM STORE. POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ACTIVATED AND LOSS POWER STEERING. PUT THE VEHICLE. INTO REVERSE WHEN REALIZED NO STEERING. I THOUGHT MT STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED. DEALER HAS IT AT THIS TIME. NO WORK BEING DONE. I FEEL THIS IS RELATED TO THE RECALLS IN THE PAST AND RECENT RECALLS. HELP ME PLEASE.

REFERRING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V167000. RECALL ON 2015-2016 RAM 1500, EPS CONTROL CIRCUIT COMPONENT FAILURE. RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO RAM 1500S TO INCLUDE ALL FOURTH GENERATION MODELS, 2013-2019. WHILE DRIVING EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THIS PROBLEM WOULD RESOLVE BY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE TO REGAIN NORMAL POWER STEERING. POWER STEERING LOSS WAS INTERMITTENT THEN BECAME MORE FREQUENT TILL COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHICH COULD NOT BE RESOLVED BY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE.

COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN DIFFICULTY IN TURNING AND CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE. RESTARTING THE IGNITION WOULD RESULT IN RETURN TO NORMAL POWER STEERING. THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST THEN BECAME MORE FREQUENT TILL COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHICH COULD NOT BE RESOLVED BY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE.

PURCHASE TRUCK FROM A1 IMPORTS AND DEALER SAID THAT HE DONE SAFETY AND HE WILL PROVIDE NEW TAG WITH SPARE WHEEL. WHEN I RECEIVED TRUCK AND NEXT DAY WHEN I CHECKED SPARE WHEEL, IT IS WAY BIGGER SPARE WHEEL THEN REGULAR 4 WHEEL. I DROVE 300 MILE AND BRAKE PAD FROM FRONT PASSENGER TOTALLY GONE AND DAMAGE FRONT PASSENGER ROTOR TO. WHEN I DID COMPLAIN ABOUT IT TO DEALER, HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHINGS TO CHANGE AND I WENT THERE WITH NEW ROTOR AND BRAKE PAD SO HE JUST REPLACE IT. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK ON DEC-2-2020 AND I GOT TEMP TAG UNTIL JAN-2-2021 AND HE TOLD ME THAT I WILL GET MY ONE YEAR TAG IN MAIL WITHIN TIME BUT TILL TODAY IS 6-JAN-2021 AND STILL I AM WAITING FOR MY TAG. I HAVE BEEN TALKING WITH DEALER SINCE JAN-2 FROM EVERY DAY AND HE IS MAKING EXCUSE THAT HE WILL GET TOMORROW BUT HIS TOMORROW WILL NEVER COME YET. AND I AM NOT ABLE TO USE MY TRUCK SINCE 4 DAYS. I HAVE ALL TEXT MSGS REGARDING THIS AND HE IS NOT RESPONDING AS DEALER RESPONSIBILITY. I THINK THIS IS NOT A GOOD PRACTICE AS A DEALER WHO IS SELLING CARS IN GREENVILLE AREA IN NC. AS HE GIVE ME TRUCK WITH TIRE CONDITION AND BRAKE CONDITION WHICH IS CONSIDER AS MAIN SAFETY ISSUE AND HE HAS AUTHORIZED SAFETY INSPECTION LICENSE FOR HIS SHOP. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR OTHER PEOPLE. I AM UPLOAD MY SPARE WHEEL PIC WHICH I HAVE IT THAT I AM GOING TO UPLOAD

MY VEHICLE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION, WHERE THE FRONT END HAS LOWERED AND THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WILL NOT RESPOND. I HAVE LOOKED ON SOME WEBSITES AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND FOR SOME, A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE NOT FOUND A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, AND WONDERING WHY. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN 2019 AND DID NOT REALIZE THERE WAS AN ISSUE THAT DOES NOT HAVE REMEDY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS SUCH. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME, ALTHOUGH , MANY ON THE WEBSITE COMPLAINED THAT IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING.
