I have a 2017 ram 1500 I lost my steering out of no where on expressway doing 70 it locked up and service power steering message popped up and I had absolutely no steering even moving it was difficult to pull over to side of road. I've also had it where when I'm turning if I make a sharp turn the steering wheel jerks itself in opposite direction so 2017 needs to be listed I thought I was the only one who was experiencing these issues

They should also look into the oiling issues that cause lifter failure. I see so many complaints about this.

Make that 381 complaints. Just submitted mine. 2014 ram 1500 express. 59k miles. replaced rack and pinion for $1881. Had to get a reman one as the part is not avail from Dodge, and if it was, due to scarcity - the part alone would be $2500.

One of the biggest complaints about RAM 1500 5.7l Hemi is about cracked exhaust manifolds and/or broken exhaust bolts. This can become dangerous with exhaust fumes going back into the cab along with damaging the valves. This has been a continuing issue since the early 2000's but continues to be ignored by Chrysler. There are hundreds and hundreds of complaints dating back at least 15-16 years with nothing being addressed by Chrysler. What's it going to take for this to be addressed, someone dying by asphyxiation while driving, possibly killing someone else in the process?

I have a 17 ram 1500 and the antilock brakes and traction control stopped working. I didn't realize until trying to take off from a light in the rain. Dealer says parts are a year out. No one will help or listen to me about it.
