NHTSA complaint #11549988, filed 2023-10“Incident occurred on 1/27, ~1,760 miles. V6, 4x4. Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited I started the car and a red steering wheel icon popped up on the dashboard. Then a message popped up saying power steering unavailable, service required . I was still able to drive the car but steering felt very heavy . I've only had the car for 2 months.”
NHTSA complaint #11449256, filed 2022-01“When I started the car and backed out I was alerted that the power steering had a failure and lane departure warnings also. Power steering was not working. Left car for an hour and when I restarted it, warning light was off and steering worked again. Random power steering failure is extremely scary.”
NHTSA complaint #11482317, filed 2022-08“VEHICLE LOCKS ARE NOT WORKING SAFELY. When locking doors on the vehicle the doors are easily opened when you pull the handle while sitting in the vehicle. All doors will open which is very dangerous especially since my grandkids sit in the back and can open the doors while the vehicle is in motion. I have a video showing the doors locked and i am able to open the doors when the vehicle is driving down the road.”
NHTSA complaint #11444464, filed 2021-12“At 1321 miles Power steering went unavailable while driving, restarted car and it was still unavailable. Car now has 1700 Miles and have had the issue 7 times. Dealer can not get me in until Feb 15th, 2021. Which is unexceptionable. With no power steering other safety features are unavailable, like cruise control, lane senors and other. I’m making this claim hoping for a full recall on this issue. Many others having the same problem.”
