Grand Cherokee L

  • 41,000 miles
The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The contact stated that while driving 45 MPH over railroad tracks, the rear of the vehicle started swaying temporarily. Additionally, the contact stated that the failure recurred while driving over a bumpy road surface or a pothole. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the rear suspension had failed due to an impact; however, the contact informed the dealer that the vehicle had only driven over a bump on the road. The dealer verified that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V132000 (Suspension, Steering); which the contact related to the failure. The dealer determined that the lower control arms, the shocks, the axle shaft boots, and the sway bar end link needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact that the collateral damage repair could not be covered under the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact had not yet received the recall notice. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 41,000.

While driving, the power steering disengaged and made the vehicle difficult to steer. The power steering warning light illuminated in the dash and the vehicle went into safety mode. After letting the vehicle remain shut down, the error code rectified itself and the power steering warning disappeared. Vehicle was serviced by the dealership and a power steering module update was performed. The rack and pinion were inspected. The vehicle subsequently suffered the same issue. Again, after driving to vehicle to safety and shutting it off, the issue resolved itself. This is a safety issue that appears to be electronic and allows the power steering to disengage while driving,

The dash lit up with all lights and it said SOS Power STEERING is out. I could not turn the wheel. The lights such as my miles was blinking, the seat belt was flashing along with dinging even though my seat belt was on. There has been recalls due to power steering issues but my car isn't on there. It put me and my son at risk for a terrible accident. I have taken it to a dealership. There were no warnings prior to this incident.
