The NHTSA launched a probe in August 2023 after spotting a discrepancy between power steering recalls and consumer complaints
The lawsuit alleges the automaker denies a widespread issue to evade costly repairs. EPS unit failures force owners to often spend over $4,000 for repairs and replacements. The NHTSA has been probing power steering loss issues since August of last year. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles US is staring down a proposed class action lawsuit alleging that 2013-2024 Ram 1500 pickups are equipped with defective electric power steering units prone to sudden failure.
They highlighted a significant gap between FCA’s recalls for power steering loss and the rising number of consumer complaints. As this investigation continues, the lawsuit argues that millions of owners and lessees remain oblivious to the defect, putting them at risk of “serious injury by their continued use of their vehicles without adequate inspection or repairs.” It’s claimed that if the EPS unit fails, the steering will immediately become stiff and difficult to turn.
