I was driving on roadway at about 40-45 mph. I tried to turn into wawa parking lot. When turning into parking lot, noticed steering was very difficult. I stopped in parking lot but couldnt turn into parking space. Truck drives but is nearly impossible to steer under slow driving(under 40 miles per hour). Once going over 40 mph, truck is a little easier to steer but not anywhere near how it was prior to steering failure.

The power steering and steering rack failed on the car while merging causing a near-fatal accident. Fca has acknowledged that this is a known issue that the steering racks leak and can fail but won't issue an open recall because NHTSA isn't forcing them too.

2011 Grand Cherokee overland 5. 7 v8 approx 124000 miles stalled when turning left through intersection slowing from 50 to 25 mph. Steering and brakes failed. All recalls have been performed. This was supposedly fixed with p54 (fuel pump relay). Fortunately I was not towing my boat. This issue seems to have spanned many years and is extremely dangerous.

Vehicle randomly brakes unintentionally for 5 to 10 seconds - engine and steering fail all at the same time. A loud collision warning along with red alert braking indicators. I informed a local dealership several months after purchase (summer 2015). They reported no specific codes or recalls. The issue has occurred multiple times. In all occurrences the vehicle was in motion including highway and city streets. For incidents I directly recall they occurred while driving in a straight line (mostly).

I have a 2006 Grand Cherokee with 30,000 miles. While driving on a residential road, the steering gave out and the vehicle crashed into cars on the right - the vehicle was going around 15mps. Upon inspection the actual inner ball joint that threads into the power steering unit broke free causing the front right wheel to cut loose. The threads were stripped off of the ball joint that connects the rod into the power steering unit. My insurance adjusters quote did not include the steering rack/rod as he did not believe it broke due to the impact in the accident. The threads in the power steering unit are fine. Chrysler's investigation determined are not responsible and there was no component failure. The damage on the vehicle was all front end (bumper, grill, etc) and there is no damage on any of the steering components, just the failed threads. If the steering did fail and the vehicle was on the highway this accident could have been very severe. The steering rack has been replaced and the old parts are available for inspection.

The contact owns a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the abs would not lock or "grip" as quickly as it should. The failure caused difficulty when braking. She also noticed that there was a "gliding" effect when driving 40 mph and attempting to brake. Furthermore, she experienced difficulty turning the steering wheel. As a result, she made wide turns due to the amount of effort she had to put into turning the wheel. She took the vehicle to the dealer and they checked the brakes. The dealer changed the brake pads and stated that everything was fine. The second time the contact took the vehicle to the dealer for the abs failure she was informed again that everything was fine. The vehicle has not been inspected for the steering failure. The current mileage was approximately 43,000 and failure mileage was approximately 20.
