Steering wheel sticks

I have a 2022 Ram 1500 with 10,000 miles . The steering wheel sticks to the left when I go around tight curves and it does not return to center without much effort to correct it. This is very scary to me. I am so disappointed.
Took it to the dealership but they didn't determine the issue.
Anyone with this problem?

Don't have that problem, but I've heard there were problems with some of the steering racks. Do a search or others may be able to chime in with details.

You must have the built for NASCAR edition.
What…too soon?

Did you have it since new? Just start? Any recent mods or repairs (tires, brakes, shocks, lift kit, etc.)?
Any chance it’s stuck in 4wd? Do you feel any lurching by the tires? Only when going left, not right?

Some early 5th gens had rack issues. I don't know what the dates were, when they changed something, but there are other threads about it that you can check.

I ordered it from the factory and I received it in July 2022. It's a Ram 1500 Limited, 2 WD. It doesn't have any of the things you mentioned. I only noticed it only when going left around 55 mph curves .
It was Really bad on a recent trip to Seattle on the 5 North. There are some serious curves on this highway at High elevations especially in the Shasta area. The steering wheel seems to get stuck at the 11 o'clock position and it doesn't return to the center without my input to correct it. I would then experience a wobble to the vehicle after trying to keep it on the road.
Thanks for your reply.

Yeah, agreed, dangerous …. I’d definitely get it in.
