UPDATE: 2019 2500 lane assist

[chriscullen33]

Bought the truck last Feb. I assume a lane assist type feature is on it but I can’t locate a control so maybe not. Fully loaded options.

The truck’s steering feels different than any vehicle I’ve owned. It acts like lane assist but only around highway curves - lightly tugging on the wheel back toward center.

When vehicle is parked and running and wheel is fully cocked in either direction, without any input from the driver the steering wheel tugs back toward a neutral position???

Two separate dealer service visits found no issues? Thanks!

Have you looked the window sticker or looked up the build sheet to see all that was installed on the truck at the factory those would be the best 2 places to start.

You would know if had it - there is a button for it next to the hazards. The dealer doesn't know either? That's sad. You can download the owners manual from the MOPAR site or get it out of the glove box. You can google "build sheet vin for Ram truck" and you should be able to pull the build sheet with all the features.

None of what you describe has anything to do with lane Assist/Keep from my experience, as it looks for the lines on the road via a camera and once it sees you crossing it will use electronic steering to keep you in the lane

Yes. The window sticker made no reference to it specifically but I guess was looking for confirmation.

Thanks. The effect on steering is weirdly similar but I’d concluded that wasn’t it. Just wanted to scratch that off the checklist.

So the question now I guess is what is causing the steering wheel actions? It’s had 2 alignments and wheels balanced multiple times without any change.

Is it a normal condition of the design of this truck I’m not familiar? I’m perplexed.
