2014 Ram 1500 Steering problems

I was making a short drive to go get a pizza. The electric power steering went out with an error message intermittently right as I was nearing the pizza place. Thankfully, no one was around and there wasn't a wreck, but it was difficult to steer into the parking lot. I had not experienced any issues like this prior. Once I picked up the pizza, I started the truck back up and received the same power steering error. After checking simple things like fuses, I restarted the truck, the message wasn't there, and I was...

On or about September 10, 2026, I was driving on the interstate at 70 MPH. Suddenly, I lost control of the steering with no prior warning or warning lights. It was obvious the power steering was not working. The power steering warning light finally came on about 15 min later. Needless to say, my reaction time to potential road hazards was greatly diminished. If my wife was driving she would not have the strength to steer. This happened on I 30 and exit 117 in Benton Arkansas while driving 70 MPH. There is a recall on my make, model and year but apparently not for my specific vehicle. It cost me $3045.75 to get it repaired. The vehicle is available for inspection if needed.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. While driving approximately 40-50 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering assist, causing the steering wheel to be difficult to turn.

The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V021000 (Steering); however, the VIN and model were not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

Electronic power steering rack and pinion failed and made the steering wheel very difficult to turn. This caused the truck to turn wide into a parking lot and almost strike another vehicle. This issue is a known problem for other RAM models, but does not officially apply to mine. Now, the truck will start fine, as soon as you turn the steering wheel, an alert comes up on the dash and the steering wheel is difficult to turn.

This complaint is to report a power steering failure in my 2014 ram truck which has only 21,345 miles. The failure happened at the start up so there was no safety risk for me, but I understand from reading prior complaints that it can happen during driving. There was no warning or issue prior to the failure. I simply started the truck and the red warning light came on the dash and I had no power steering. I haven't taken it to a mechanic as they charge 200 just to diagnose the issue and dealer informed me the eps...

While driving the EPS went out displaying a warning message service power steering. I lost all control of power steering, had it scanned by a shop they stated I would have to replace to rack and pinion EPS unit. The issue is trying to find the part, not to meant it is going to cost between $3000-$4000 for the part and then the labor cost to change out. When looking to find parts i came across a report saying there has be several issues with this same EPS issue and it could be covered under a defeat recall or law suit act.

Sudden, complete loss of electric power steering while backing out in a parking lot. I was driving our 2014 Ram 1500. It was approximately 9:00 pm and I was in a post office parking lot. I started the truck, put the car in reverse and backed out. The steering suddenly became impossible to turn and the ESP warning appeared on the dash. The truck had been driving fine and the failure occurred without warning. THE ESP warning light had never appeared prior to this incident. The truck could not be safely driven...

Rack and pinion/steering assist failed it is available for inspection and has not been repaired. My safety was put at risk along with the general public I was driving about 40 mph when all of the sudden I lost power assist I initially thought the engine stopped so I pulled off as best I could with no shoulder in that section of road. I sat there in the road for a minute until I figured out the engine was running I just didn't have power steering. The rack and pinion has been inspected by Jim click Dodge and I have not been able to afford the repair at around $3,200. The steering light is on in the dashboard.

This truck has a failed steering rack that literally almost took me off the road mid driving, but yet doesn't fall under the 2015-2016 official recall. I am documenting this because this is going to become a cost out-of-pocket. But seriously needs to be added to the list of active recalls.

when driving down the road and sometimes when I first start the 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie I own the electric power steering will quit working, I am being told when speaking with the Dodge dealership that the electric power steering on this vehicle is not covered under the recall NHTSA 19E-077 for 2013-2019 rams with the power steering issues when this vehicle has been showing the same symptoms as the recall states and the fact that intermittently the power steering will go out and could possibly cause an accident. I...

I was driving on the highway and went to turn on curve and the steering started became hard and then a jerk on the wheel made me veer off the highway . Once I was able to stop fully i checked the steering wheel it was hard to turn .

Loss of power steering. Failed rack and pinion component.

Lost power steering completely.

Backing my truck out of my garage the power steering needs service came on and immediately I had no power steering. The truck was very difficult to steer and had I been driving on the road this would have been a major oroblem. I only have 42000 miles on the truck.

While driving in a snow storm, the power steering suddenly quit and my truck was forced off the highway and into a ditch. My truck had severe front end damage as a result. Luckily I wasn't hurt. After which the steering was normal for awhile, then suddenly did it again. Now the truck is essentially undriveable.

Abs traction control and e brake lights are on every time I go to crank the truck. I also get a check engine light with three codes causing my power steering and speedometer and odometer to stop working, I can sometimes clear the codes but the check engine light reappears when I'm going down the road. It has caused me to almost hit a light pole in the rain when I was going around a curve under 20 mph. I took the vehicle to my local ram dealer and was told it was the abs module and that it is a common problem and...

Shortly after purchasing this truck, the ABS, Traction Control, Electronic braking system, and trailer brake system lights all came on. Back then I did some research and learned it was just something I will have to live with. Fast forward 2 years and the other day I drove to work like normal but when I came back out to my truck the electronic power steering had gone out. Some research told me that it was caused by my ABS module going bad. It is ridiculous that this part is going out in so many trucks and it is not even available for purchase. I'd happily replace it if it were available. Downright irresponsible on Ram's part.
