Purchased used 2020 Grand Cherokee at Christmas time 2023. Vehicle had 25640 miles on it. On April 24, 2024 while driving home maybe 2 miles from home, I was lucky not to crash when losing steering response.A Warning Message appeared on the Speedo, stating, -??POWER STEERING UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED -??. 28K miles is about 2,400 miles driven to date. I drove straight home and made an appointment for service. Koons Chevrolet where I bought the car performed diagnostic testing to determine Replacement of the Steering Gear RACK AND PINION would require replacement and the repair $5800 parts and labor. The module is internal and not serviceable therefore the Whole Steering Gear must be replaced. Cost is prohibitive for a fairly new vehicle.

The front right suspension makes weird noises when going over bumps and when turning. The noises can be described as if there is something loose moving in the front suspension. It is very noticeable when you turn and go over a bump. You can also hear it when going over road imperfections. The vehicle vibrates at certain speeds. This might be caused by this suspension issue.

Lost control of steering which pushed vehicle to left and hit a retaining wall then to the right of the interstate. There were no warning lights. After vehicle stopped found front end had fallen off and left front tire was sitting on it's side.

The steering is overly heavy. That is, it requires a great deal of effort to turn-- a dangerous amount of effort. Steering the car is an immense chore that leads to exhaustion and is dangerous when making even the slightest maneuvers on the road. When the wheel is turned the turning causes a muffled, strained/rubbing sound. There is some kind of friction that there shouldn't be within the steering column.

After hitting a bump in the road, my 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit began to violently wobble while being flat towed behind my motor home on I-475. Vehicles in close proximity of the Jeep I was towing were at risk as there was a possibility that the vehicle could have broken loose or flipped endangering others. It appears that this defect is already known to the manufacturer of the Jeep and other models have been proven to have a defect that causes what is known as the DEATH WOBBLE. Apparently, Jeep has bought back some vehicles with the DEATH WOBBLE defect. The vehicle is currently being analyzed by the Newnan Peachtree Jeep dealership in Newnan Georgia. The owner's manual clearly states that the vehicle can be flat towed with all four wheels on the ground. Instructions to flat tow the vehicle were followed as written. Jeep should be liable to the damage caused by this defect and do whatever it takes to remedy the problem. Buying back this Jeep from the owner should also be an option to the owner/customer.

The vehicle starts jerking at a high rate of speed that become dangerous. Often times the vehicle will shut off on its own. Also the unconnect system goes out a lot. Another problem going wrong with the jeep is that the back window Always makes noise as if it would crack or something.

Vehicle in motion city & highway. The entire vehicle dies. The engine turns off, all the lights die, no steering, dashboard & radio die. A few seconds later the engine restarts on its own, lights come on, dashboard lights up and radio works. The one remaining issue that indicates the problem is that the radio complete resets to what I believe is the original settings. This problem has been ongoing since the vehicle was acquired. It has been in the dealerships multiple times and they of course can not duplicate so they send me on my way. They have held the Jeep to drive but claim they cannot duplicate. Also there are no codes showing when they check. Try driving at 65 mph with a dead car. Again this has been happening for about a year
