Ram Promaster Steering problems by year

The contact owns a 2024 Ram Promaster 1500. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the power steering assist failed to operate as needed with several warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where a diagnostic test confirmed that the power steering assist was inoperable.

The contact stated that the manufacturer had...

Complete loss of electric power steering assist while driving. On[[redacted]] in Austin, TX, the power steering began acting up at approximately 45 mph, then fully gave out at about 10 mph while parking, and I could no longer steer the vehicle. No crash or injury occurred, but losing steering at road speed put me and others at serious risk of a crash. Prior symptom: about 45 days earlier (early September 2026), the steering wheel jerked randomly while driving. Warning lamps: UNKNOWN. The vehicle was taken to...

RAM is or was (I hope someone checks) still selling the part with the defective recalled steering assembly for the issue with the corroded wiring harness. My van has been sitting in the shop for nearly a month disabled due to their entire steering system failing from this recalled issue, on top of the two week wait it was disabled waiting for the mechanic to fit it in their schedule. A little over two weeks ago from this day, October 17th, the mechanic ordered that part which makes no sense since the recall...

Power steering became inoperable requiring force to steer, with pulsing resistance against the direction being turned. Wasn't a large safety concern, as I was trying to maneuver in a parking lot. Happened suddenly.Lights showed power assistant needs serviced. Had it taken to a dealer where it was determined that water intrusion was the cause. Quoted at $6,500. Can't afford that. Had it taken home

As I was turning into traffic from a stop, the power steering failed to work. I did not have strength to turn the steering wheel and needed someone else to drive it. There were no warnings prior to the failure, but as it failed, several items flashed. I am waiting for more information from the service center/dealer. Although it seemed that the power steering would work intermittently, the service center stated that the rack and pinion were "dead on the bus," which is vernacular that is unfamiliar to me. They have not yet informed me as to how or why the mechanisms failed.

While driving 65 MPH, the failure recurred. Additionally, while reversing, the vehicle stopped suddenly. Prior to and after the failures, an unknown yellow warning light illuminated accompanied by an abnormal dinging sound. Additional warning lights illuminated associated with the steering, hill assist, and emergency control...

I bought a New Dodge Ram 3500 cargo van in 2022. The van currently has 48,000 miles and the steering started violently pulling, almost causing a wreck on a couple of occasions. I took into the dealership and they said the wiring harness for the steering rack is bad and not under warranty. This is a manufacturer defect, looking online there are hundreds of cases just like mine, with a couple of serious wrecks. The manufacture knows that water is getting in the steering harness wiring, causing it to short out and...

The steering wheel bucks and becomes immovable when I'm steering. The problem is intermittent and happens primarily when driving slowly, such as getting maneuvered at a gas pump or parking. It has also happened at highway speeds when there are rumble strips, in construction zones, or broken concrete that jars the vehicle.

Total sudden loss of power steering

We had the battery die about 2 weeks ago. We replaced that. Then this week the power steering just went out. The vehicle has no power steering. The mechanic "thinks" the power steering control module is bad but he cannot be sure till he replces it.

While at the dealership service center, the "service electronic power steering" warning light illuminated on the dash and when driven the steering wheel began snapping back, making driving very difficult. The garage informed us that the van is considered unsafe/undriveable until fixed due to the high risk of causing an accident. Upon inspection by the service center, they stated that the steering pump was filled with water from an unknown source and that the harnesses were completely corroded. The wiring/connectors were also completely corroded and appeared to be causing the issues with steering.
