2020 RAM 1500
Filed Jul 16, 2026
I was attempting to turn around in my driveway when the steering locked up and I could not control the steering. If I had been driving on the road instead of in my driveway I could have crashed into something or someone, potentially causing severe injury or death to myself or others. This was a horrifying experience in my driveway, let alone on the road! I had my truck towed to the repair shop, where they determined that the power steering rack failed. It cracked completely in half. Attached…

Nexen Roadian HTX RH5 LT235/80R17E 120R/117/R At approximately 70 mph, I experienced a severe vibration in the steering wheel. Shortly thereafter, the tread separated from the carcass sending pieces of rubber flying. I was able to pull onto the shoulder and change the tire. These are the OEM tires with about 25000 miles. They have never been under or overinflated and I was not hauling or towing anything.

ABS failure. Dealers keep stating there are no replacement parts available. Also loss of cruise control. Ram is stalling for time. Time to force the issue. They can get the parts made!

2014 Ram 1500 Fuel tank strap frame brackets corroded causing fuel tank to fall unsupported. 2009-2012 Ram pickup trucks were recalled (Recall U04 / NHTSA 18V-160) for this exact safety problem. Why isn't the 2014 Ram pickup covered under this recall?
2022 RAM 1500
Filed Jul 15, 2026
I purchased my Ram 1500 5.7 2022 new last year. The vehicle has experienced multiple electrical failures. The infotainment screen stopped working, causing the backup camera to become inoperative. The horn no longer functions, the air conditioning stopped working, and the power windows will not roll down. These failures occurred without warning. The loss of the backup camera and horn creates a significant safety concern because they are important safety features. I am reporting this issue so…
