   As I was on my home on 2/20/26, I encountered some issues. I made a right turn onto the highway and my vehicle did a little drift but made this weird sound and the front end shook. There were no warning lights or dings that came across the dash. I pulled over into the closest parking lot to see if I could notice anything. I couldn't because I only had the light from a parking lot lamp. So decided to try and make it home which was another 15 minutes away. As I got back on the…

   Happy Wednesday: Issue 11427346 THATS MY ISSUE TOO. This is occurring with my vehicle with many others. I found out today Power Steering Fluid ran out and was empty but no leak is detected. It is the Steering rack where the fluid is going so it is undetected which can cause gears to lock up and crash since owners do not detect a leak and do not know where it is going. I got an oil change and they told me it was almost empty buy inches and to get parked ASAP until it was…

   Steering rack and Pinion failure due to leaking fluid. Dealer will not cover cost. This shouldn't happen to a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with only 62k. Please investigate and place a recall for this design error. Very dangerous for all drivers and conditions. I am afraid to drive this car now. I am currently driving another car.

   The steering shaft spline stripped. Steering wheel turns freely in both directions without moving the front wheels. Happened backing out of in driveway thankfully instead of the interstate we were heading for. The car is as oem as can be and no modification or off-road driving has been done. The primary driver goes to/from school and store. This type of failure should never occur, the consequences of this failing steering column are deadly.
