Lose Power Steering Problems of Jeep Grand Cherokee

The vehicle was traveling at approximately 40 mph on a traditional two lane country road. As I approached a left handed turn, I pressed the break pedal and instantaneously lost power steering and power breaks. The vehicle became difficult to control and drove off the road into a small grass field. After coming to a stop, I looked at the dash and realized the tachometer showed 0 rpm indicating the engine had stalled. At first, I was unable to restart the vehicle because the shifter was still in drive. The vehicle restarted with no hesitation once the shifter was moved to park. The p54 recall has previously been completed. Fca has been informed and the vehicle was inspected by a Jeep dealer. The recall for v62 is still in development and the vehicle has since received the temporary interim repair. I have decided to park the vehicle until fca can reassure the vehicle is safe to drive.

Twice on two separate occasions, when going about 25 miles an hour on a town road and breaking and turning to the right (one time was more right than the other), my car loses power out of no where. My engine shuts off, I lose power steering, and I lose my break assist. It is very scary and dangerous and could cause a life threatening accident. I crossed over into the opposite lane of traffic with little to no control. Fortunately both times no one was near me and I was able to come to a stop. I can then restart the car and drive away. I dont know how to replicate the issue. I have seen other reports of this same problem with other Grand Cherokees on the internet. I dont know if the current recall that I need is supposed to address it or not but I plan on calling my dealer about it ASAP. My car is about 149k miles. I think the lights stay on when this happens.

While driving lost power steering. Vehicle was in a parking lot when this occurred.

Vehicle loses power steering intermittently. It's still under warranty and has been to three different dealers 5 times. It's presently at arrigo Jeep in ft pierce FL and has been for over a week. They do not return my call. This has also been reported to Chrysler. Loss of power steering can happen in motion or stationary. Very dangerous. I have all service docs.

~tl the contact owns a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. On several occasions, whether being driven or stationary, the vehicle would lose power steering functionality without warning. The vehicle was taken to troiano Chrysler Jeep Dodge where it was diagnosed that the rack and pinion needed to be replaced. Also, there was a low voltage fluctuation going to the electronic power steering. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was then taken to wallace Jeep (2755 se federal hwy, stuart, FL 34994, (772) 220-3600) and arrigo Dodge Chrysler Jeep ram fort pierce (5851 s us highway 1, fort pierce, FL 34982, (855) 709-0687) where it was diagnosed that there was a voltage issue with the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 24,169.

On multiple occasions, our 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee overland 5. 7l engine stalls while braking and trying to turn corners. Recall p54 to replace fuel pump relay to correct this issue was done in November 2015, but the issue has continued. Most recently occurred sept 8th, 11th and now today the 14th. Had vehicle in for diagnostics on sept 13th and Jeep technicians were unable to find the problem. When this stalling occurs, there are no warning lights and apparently no fault codes generated. When motor stalls, we lose power steering and brakes and have ended up on the wrong side of road trying to get stopped. This usually happens when decelerating and braking to turn off or onto a highway.

Timp recall, was repaired Jan 2015. Today vehicle stalled in traffic, completely shut down and lost power steering, while making a left hand turn. I am lucky I was not in an accident. I was able to restart the vehicle. I have made an appointment with the dealer, but since it was repaired previously, not sure what they will do for me. Obviously there is still a problem the recall did not repair.

Low battery light came on while driving 35 mph, and two miles later the majority of dashboard lights came on. Simultaneously, a constant beeping began and wipers turned on. The scary part is that within seconds, I lost power steering and brakes did not work correctly. The road I was driving was precarious, windy, and did not have a shoulder. I continued at minimal speed around the curves for less than a mile, looking for a safe place to pull over. Very soon, the car accelerator stopped and the car died. I managed to pull the car onto the side of the road (took effort without power steering). Terrible and sudden experience. Not enough warning to get the car serviced before complete electronic and vehicle shutdown occurred. Thankful that no other vehicles were around during the incident, as I am confident I did not have safe control of the vehicle during this time. Towed vehicle to safety. Mechanic tested and discovered that alternator fully shorted and battery was completely dead (unable to recharge).

In the 18 months I have owned the vehicle it has randomly turned off 5-6 times on the highway or on a street. The engine turns off (with no warning on the dash) and you lose power steering and braking. I have taken it to the dealership twice in the last two months and they are not able to diagnose. I am picking up the car tomorrow from the dealership that has had it for the past six days. They will be releasing me an unsafe car that I will not allow my daughter or wife to drive.

I was driving down a busy road in our town today. The battery light came on. Approximately 10 minutes later while still driving, the lights on dash started flashing on and off, seatbelt alarm started going off, windshield wipers started working without turning on. The radio turned off. I lost power steering. The vehicle shut off while still driving down the road. I had no power breaks--seemed to almost stop working. I was fortunate to get on side of road in grass to keep from getting hit by another car. If there had not been a grassy area there would have been an accident. The vehicle then was completely shut down--door locks would not work- tried to put key fob in ignition and could not get it back out--was unable to get back gate opened. I had to have car towed to dealership where I was told it was the alternator which in turned destroyed the gel type battery. I was also informed this was not covered under the alternator recall due to not matching my VIN number. I was first quoted $2,000 to cover the damage. I am very upset due to the fact that there could have been a serious car accident today. I am thankful my child was not in the car with me. I think it is terrible that the recall does not include the alternator in this 2012 grand Jeep cherokee when the description of what "could" happen did happen to me today. I feel that Chrysler/Jeep should cover this damage in the recall of the alternator.

While driving to nashville, TN we were driving between 65 - 73 mph with speed control and hit slower traffic it felt like the vehicle lost power steering. The steering was hard to handle on the Jeep. It would pull either left or right and wouldn't seem to go straight. We could stop the vehicle and turn it off and the steering would be fine again for a while. I took my Jeep back to the dealer on December 2, 2016 and as of today December 27, 2016 they still have it. I don't know if it is the power steering or the lift suspension but it most definitely is a safety problem. This happened on the highway and the service techs have got it to duplicate the problem at the dealership.

Power steering making noise loud , had it checked out and dealership tells me all 2013 does this. Well a week later after they looked at I lost power steering with a baby in car.

In 2016, my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo had about 38k miles when I found out that my vehicles rack and pinion had a "minor leak" that they service center recommended I "keep an eye on. " this was something I really needed to save for because it would cost $3000 to repair and I had just purchased the vehicle! less than a week later I was in an accident because I lost power steering while driving with my family. This forced me to replace the rack and pinion as well as further damage. This is pretty unusual for a car with mileage that low. Additionally, it is ridiculous that this issue hasn't been a sufficient impetus for investigation considering how ubiquitous that exact claim is among jgcl owners. These common claims suggest that the issue isnt caused by the driver, but is in fact, a manufacturers defect. Appropriately, the manufacturer is obligated to remedy this defect. .

Was slowing down from 50 mph to make a left hand turn. As I was entering the turn, at about 30 mph, the engine shutoff. All dash lights still functional, radio was still on, turn signal still on. There was no sputtering. Lost power steering and power braking (and any other items that are not functional while in "run" mode). Shifted to "neutral", but it would not start because the transmission was not in "park". Pulled to the side and stopped the vehicle, put it in "park". Started like nothing had happened. There were no warning lights before shutdown, there are no service lights or obd ii codes stored in computer. Was using the push button starter, the key fob was in my pocket.

While vehicle was in motion on the highway the engine shut off. My wife was driving it with our 4 year old daughter in the backseat. At that time the vehicle lost power steering. She called me in a panic. I called the Jeep dealer who came and towed the vehicle in to the service department. The same thing happened while the Jeep was in the shop at California superstores in valencia, CA. They called me several times to come and pick the car up because they could not figure out what happened, but that there was not a "fix" for it. Due to concerns for my familys safety I refused to pick the car up and called Chrysler who told me not to pick the car up, that it was dangeous to drive it. The next weeki was again told to come and pick the car up, this time by both the dealer at California superstores, valencia, CA and by the corporate people at Chrysler, and told there was no fix for the problem. The car just randomly shuts off while driving it. I opened a claim withchrysler corp. About the car stalling out but have not heard back about any fix or recall. The car is unsafe to drive and I am not receiving any help from the dealer or Chrysler corp. I paid almost $38,000 for the car and do not even want to drive it or have my family in it due to the possibility that it could stall again (it has happened several times), the steering go out, and cause an accident harming us or other drivers on the roadways.

My Jeep has stalled twice while I was making a left turn. Both times it stalled without warning and I lost all power steering + power brakes. Both times I had about 1/4 tank of gas. The first time I was able to restart my car right away. The 2nd time it took me a few tries to get it restarted. The dealership claims they can't find anything wrong with it. I've opened a case with Jeep.

When I am going slow and taking a turn I lose my power steering while I'm taking the turn. It happens quite a bit but then it goes away after I make the turn.

Replaced tipm 15 months ago. Today, turning into parking lot car stall. Lost all power steering, no brakes, no engine. Had to restart while coasting. Decelerating at 45 mph making a left turn.

Car stalls with no warning while driving. Has happened twice. Lose power steering. Able to re-start.

Vehicle stalled on a busy road while traveling approximately 35 mph. I was decelerating approaching a traffic light and lost power steering, power brakes and engine shut down. After placing vehicle into park I was able to restart. This has happened twice in the last few months. The dealership is not able to replicate the issue or take further action to correct the issue.

While driving down the interstate, using cruise control, my car suddenly lost power steering and then all control including gas. Seemed to stall but then would come back on and off as I was "coasting" to a stop. Trying to make my way over two lanes so I could safely pull off the shoulder out of danger was next to impossible. I had to have my car towed 110 miles to dealer and Jeep only covered first $100 so I ended up paying another $450 in towing costs. The dealer said my "serpentine belt" had been shredded and it had wrapped itself around everything in its path. Talking with numerous other garages and even other Jeep certified mechanics, they all agree these belts should be replaced around the 85,000 mile mark even though they shouldn't show signs of wear until the 95,000 mile mark. Therefore I would like to know why the belt in my car, with only just under 43,000 miles on it, shredded so badly and almost caused me to drive straight into numerous cars and then into a guardrail and off the side of the interstate.

My daughter was in a turn when she lost power steering, lost braking power, etc. She had to apply hard brakes to prevent going into the opposing lane. While she didn't understand what had happened, her passenger told her to try restarting the car. She did, and was able to continue.

We were driving at approx 55 mph (not braking or turning) when suddenly the vehicle lost all acceleration, the gas and mph as well as directional and temperature gauges went dark/dropped to zero, then the car lost power steering. We were able to pull off the side of the road, place the car into park, removed the key, and then returned the key and restarted the car. The car then started normally.

Battery light came on after approximately 5 miles of driving after starting the car, on 10/5/14. This pattern continued for two days, and on the morning of 10/8/14 the car stopped running completely while I was pulling into the parking lot of the auto shop to have it looked at. While driving, I lost power steering and abs before the car stalled completely a few moments later. I had to have the alternator replaced with only 50,000 miles on the vehicle. Several days later I learned of a new recall on Chrysler vehicles due to alternator problems, and today I learned my vehicle was not a part of this recall because I have a 180 amp alternator, and those recalled were 160 amp. I am choosing to report this incident because I believe the failure of my alternator could have caused serious injury to myself or other drivers if I had been traveling at high speed when the battery died, and I believe the 180 amp alternators should be investigated for a possible recall.

On Friday, 9/19/14, my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee almost killed me. I was driving between va and NY via I-81 for a family funeral. I stopped half-way there for lunch and then experienced a problem starting it. Hitting the start button, it would not start, and would not stop trying to do so - it kept cranking and would not stop until I opened the door. It did this 3-4x, and then it started. It had never done this before. I continued on, more cautiously. An hour later, while passing several big rigs, part of the electrical system stopped working. I lost power steering, accelerator function, and my dash lit up - and the engine continued running and even rev'ed despite the lack of the accelerator. My brakes also didn't work for approx. 10 seconds. The road curved, and I almost lost control and flipped the Jeep trying to avoid the big rigs, which were slamming on their brakes all around. Ultimately, I was able to pull over with no accident or damage and turned the vehicle off. After 15 minutes, it re-started, and I was able to get to my destination with no other problems. Upon arrival, however, I experienced the same things while testing it at very low speeds on back roads. After the funeral on Saturday, I was able to get it to the local dealership, where it still is undergoing diagnostics. I had to travel back to va on Sunday, and now have to rent a car, deal with long-distance repairs with an unknown dealership, and travel back to NY to get it once repaired. The dealership indicated it sounded like a tipm issue, which I have learned Jeep/Chrysler know about, but have not recalled. I have previously experienced minor electrical issues (flashlight never worked, multiple back bulbs, etc), which the dealership indicated may indicate tipm issues since the day I bought the vehicle, but were always dealt with as isolated repairs. Please help with a Jeep/Chrysler tipm recall!.

As I was pulling out of a parking spot, all the sudden a chime went off in my car and I lost power steering. The power steering light came on along with an amber colored engine light. We were able to drive it to the Jeep dealership and are currently waiting to hear back from them on what the issue is. I did check the power steering fluid and it was at least half full even though I had my Jeep into this same dealership last week for an oil change but they must not have felt the power steering fluid needed filled.

While at highway speed, on the highway, vehicle stalled, lost power steering, acceleration ability, braking and lights. Had to coast to the side of the road while narrowly avoiding other motorists at highway speed. This has occurred on several different occasions at speeds anywhere from 5-60 mph. Very dangerous and frightening. This has been reported by thousands of other Jeep owners and is eventually going to get people killed.

Engine started stalling without any warning while driving at any speed, first ocurrence was at about 35mph. Lost power steering, brakes on a sharp curve! dealer found ecm (engine control module or computer bad). That happened the first time in 2010. It has happened again in 6/2013 and now again in 3/2014 except the one of the last two times the car jerked and wouldn't accelerate as we started to pass someone on a 2-lane road. The Jeep jerked, immediately started slowing and then the engine died causing loss of powersteering and power brakes and almost being hit from behind as we were not quite clear of the car we were passing and had no choice but to slow and move back into line behind the slower car ahead of us, as the engine died and two other cars were passing the slower car from behind us almost ran into us!!! then we got the car started, drove about another 3 miles to a business, as we were on a rural road at the time of the incident. The car would die (twice more) and not go over 59 mph or 2600 engine rpm. The dealer and our shop manager say's "this is a habitual problem with a lot of Chrysler products. . . They have poorly made engine control modules, the worst in the auto industry"! the shop manager says "it's a real safety issue that isn't being addressed anywhere!".
