I had an issue with my 2014 1500
It felt like the electric steering rack was seizing up when I turned left
At first it was only sporadic and kept getting worse. A local dealer suggested I likely needed a new rack which I wasn’t too happy about
As I investigated the option of doing the work myself I accidentally discovered the problem wasn’t the steering rack but the universal joint in the steering Shaft was the problem
I cleaned it up and lubricated it and suddenly my problems were solved
I can’t say what might have happened if I had dropped it off but I am happy I didn’t
haven’t had an issue since
