I HAVE EXACTLY THIS GOING ON. Exactly, 100%.

Same thing just started on my 2016 ram 1500.

My 2016 ram 1500 has just started to the same thing, left turn is slightly stiffer now and return to Center at small turns doesn’t work. Occasionally it feels like the right turn is getting stiffer also.

Bringing back an old thread. Those of you that got any type of assistance, how do you do it? I bought a certified 19 Laramie Nov 2023 with 56.3k on it. Brought back a couple times during the warranty period to have the sticky wheel issue diagnosed and they couldn’t replicate it. Now I’m outside of the 3 mo 3k warranty, however I hope with good faith it can be fixed since it was documented in there twice under warranty.

I mentioned TSB 19-002-18 but it states it’s for august build dates. Of course, mine was built in July.

I don't *think* this is related to the recent recall for power steering, since this pretty consistent.

On normal driving, taking shallow left hand turns (say, less than 45 degrees), the steering wheel will not return to center when I let go of the wheel. I have to actively pull out of the turn back to center or the truck will just continue to turn left. It doesn't take very much effort to turn back, but it's noticeable because I can't just let the wheel slide back to center out of the turn.

Only happens on left turns. On deeper left turns, the wheel returns to center just fine. Right turns are fine. Also does not seem to happen 100% of the time, but enough that I notice it and look for it now.

I plan to call my service center, but figured I might post this in case it's something simple that can help me avoid a trip to the doctor.

Have the same exact problem with mine as well! Steering sticks to the left and won't always return to center. Took it to the dealer and they said the same thing, "Can't find anything wrong". After pulling out of the dealership and getting on the highway, the truck proceeded to do the same thing. I'm going to take it back and hopefully they can figure something out. This is a big problem! They thought the steering recall was going to solve it.

I have a 2022 Ram 1500 Limited. I have this same problem. I have about 12,000 miles on it. I noticed this issue early on and took it to the dealership but they say they could find anything wrong. This truck was ordered from the factory and delivered to me. I'm so disappointed. I will take it to another dealership and see what they say. I don't know if I simply bought a lemon. Perhaps I should be talking to a lawyer. I paid too much for this vehicle.
