Typical steering symptoms owners report
- Owners report the steering wheel suddenly locking up mid-turn, sometimes at parking-lot speeds, making the truck hard to control until brakes are applied.
- Some describe intermittent power steering loss where an audible alarm sounds and the steering, ABS, and brake warning lights turn on together before the system randomly starts working again.
- Several report the steering wheel jumping or moving in small increments instead of turning smoothly, an issue that sometimes clears itself after the truck sits off for a while.
- Owners note the steering wheel vibrating abnormally at higher speeds or jerking unexpectedly around 30-35 mph, in some cases with the power steering and stabili-trak warning lights on.
- A few report electronic power steering failing on startup in extremely cold weather, with assist returning only after the vehicle warms up.
- Some describe the steering becoming stiff with no warning light, later diagnosed as needing power steering gearbox replacement.
