“Driving, lost all power to steering, brakes and engine. Crossed over double yellow and narrowly escaped a collision with the guardrail. Had any car been in the opposite lane, I would have been severely injured. I am a mother of two. It was sudden as without warning. Additionally I had to call out of work hence loss of income.”

My steering wheel wobbles over 70mph on my 2015 Grand Cherokee wk2 high altitude, all standard features. This started after 26k miles and now I have 39k miles.

NHTSA complaint #11074903, filed 2018-02, 22,000 miles“During a routine check of vehicle fluids, I discovered that the power steering reservoir was empty. The dealer said power steering reservoir is low from factory and is topped off during service . I reported this to Jeep customer assistance, but have not received a response. I haven't noticed any steering problems, but I am concerned that this a potential safety issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11082087, filed 2018-03, 14,014 miles“I went in to have a routine oil change and found out that I needed to replace my rack and pinion. My Jeep is a 2015 Grand Cherokee with less than 45,000 miles. The primary use of the vehicle is just getting back and forth to work and it has never been driven off of a paved road. This is not a failure that should be incurred this early on in the jeeps life with an owner that is only driving it casually.”
