“2015 Jeep Compass stalls and loses power steering with no warning. It has happened at low speeds in my neighborhood as well as on the highway. The rpms will suddenly drop and then shoot back up and the engine will die. The power steering goes out when the engine dies. No check engine light comes on. No codes given. Sometimes will start immediately others you have to wait a while to restart.”
NHTSA complaint #11407905, filed 2021-04, 58,500 miles“The power steering return hose was in contact with the front suspension sway bar at curb condition with the vehicle stationary. The sway bar moves a couple inches with suspension travel and this will rub on the power steering hose considerably and can where a hole causing loss of power steering assist and a flammable fluid spraying in the engine and exhaust area. I know for a fact that FCA has been shipping vehicles like this in direct violation of their safe design guidelines or at least 1.5 years now from july of 2014 until now. …”
