The power steering stops working intermittently. It may be for a few seconds, or a few minutes. I may go a couple of days without a failure, when it does happen, it tends to happen several times in a short period of time. It has happened at all speeds on city streets and highways.
This truck has had power steering system cease to function 2 times in 3 weeks, on or about 9-1-18 warning lights came on power steering would not operate, vehicle very difficult to steer, dealership had truck for 1 week, said it was fixed.today,9-22-2019 while leaving home and attempting to make a turn, warning lights came on power steering failed and truck was very difficult to steer, while trying to make it to dealership, power steering would come back on and go right back off making curves and turns very difficult.
The steering went out due to a PCM failure. The dealer said that the PCM shut down the steering due to sensing too much voltage from generator to protect this unit. I was traveling on us highway 400 at 50mph when it would not steer left or right. It would only go straight. I feel that Ram needs to put something else in line so that steering is not shut off if this happens again.
