1 Steering Column problem of the 2019 Jeep Cherokee

Failure Date: 10/27/2019

2019 Jeep Cherokee limited 4 x 4, in service on 4/2019, with 13,700 miles as of 10/27/19. In last two days steering wheel is jerking in my hands, as though the lane sense feature is trying to bring vehicle into center of lane. That feature is disengaged and is never used. The jerk is slight but perceptible and always seems to be in a left to right motion. Since I live in country and travel roads with speeds at 65+, great concern that this issue may lead to a failure of the steering system or steering wheel itself. Had a similar issue many years ago with a Ford vehicle, which resulted in a recall after the steering wheel on my vehicle actually came off the column and spilled bearings on the floor.

2 Steering Column problem of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee

Failure Date: 09/13/2016

We purchased a 2014 Jeep Cherokee limited, 4wd w/active drive 2 in January 2014. When we purchased this vehicle, we traded in a GMC terrain. We were certain that the Jeep was going to be a fantastic purchase, knowing the reputation of Jeep. We have had nothing but what I'd call serious problems with the transmission. Every time I take it in for an oil change, I mention it, and they do "software updates. " each software update that has been done has not corrected the problem still. All it's done is created a different problem. There have now been 5 recalls on this vehicle, 1 of which hasn't been taken care of yet because Jeep hasn't come up with a replacement part, so I'm stuck with a rental renegade that is nowhere near comparable to my Cherokee limited 4wd, for an "unspecified amount of time. " my steering column makes a grinding noise louder than a 40 year old truck. The dealership told me that it was a normal sound. No vehicle I've ever driven has sounded like this, especially one that cost me $40,000!!!.
