Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Power steering is only working intermittently. There was a recall on the model year, but my truck was not included. I see several online complaints about this from other owners that weren't in the recall. I live in a mountainous terrain with windy roads and if the power steering quits when zi don't expect it, I will veer off the road and have to jerk it back on.”
NHTSA complaint #11190320, filed 2019-03, 65,000 miles“My truck doesn't want to steer right. It's very hard to steer and sometimes the steering wheel sticks. Heard they are having issues with the electronic steering in these trucks. The vehicle is in motion when this is happening and it's when you are going around a bend. I should not have to pay to get this fixed. This is a major safety issue. It happens everytime I drive.”
