I received the rubicon on 12/8/19. Less than 2k pavement miles later, on 1/7/19 I experienced severe intermittent power steering failure. I left work at 6p, 40 degrees, no precipitation. After driving 1/5 mile, 10 mph, I pulled to a stop to yield on to a 4 lane highway. After stopping briefly, I pulled onto the highway in very dense rush hour traffic only to find I had no power steering. I got two lanes over to the turning lane and pulled to a stop at the traffic light. The power steering came back on. When the light turned green, I turned left onto the highly traveled, extremely windy road. A couple hundred feet onto that road, driving 20 mph, the power steering turned off again. I pulled into a housing development, turned the vehicle off, waited some time, then back on. I traveled through the development at 10 mph and the power steering remained on. I turned back on to the main road, a few minutes later the power steering again turned off. The power steering continued to turn off and on for the next hour of driving 5 mph to 50 mph on windy roads that were filled with bumper to bumper traffic. The power steering turned off and on no matter what speed or what direction I was going. I got the vehicle to diehl dealership that evening. It is now 11 days later and they have still not performed any service on my vehicle. Jeep has not acknowledged the situation to my knowledge so diehl service is just guessing how to fix this life threatening situation. The Jeep was less than one month old when this happened. I am now paying for a 55k vehicle that I haven't had in my possession for almost two weeks.

In one instance, when driving at speeds above 60 miles per hour on the highway, the power steering either failed or something within the steering system locked up. Decelerating below 40 miles per hour releases the steering and you can steer the vehicle properly again. In another instance, driving 45 miles per hour on city streets, the same lock up occurred. Slowing down to below 40 miles per hour allowed the Jeep to be controlled once again. This happened once on 12/14/2018 (highway) and then again on the city street on 12/15/2018. Thankfully in both instances I was able to safely maneuver to the side of the road to avoid collision.

Jeep is experiencing intermittent steering lock-up while driving, typically at faster speeds such as 65mph. The steering feels al though the engine seized or power steering completely failed. Once speed slows, the steering engages again. It's very dangerous. This has happened both on the highway and on residential roads.

My 2018 Jeep Wrangler has experienced power steering failure primarily during highway driving and more often in cold weather. You become aware of the failure after entering the highway and attempt a slight correction right or left and realize there is no power assist. You apply more pressure then realize it is going to take a lot more effort to make the car move in the direction desired, the initial thought is the car is not going to turn but with more pressure it finally moves. This may continue for a few seconds or can come and go for miles. I cannot make the car do it at will so I've made no effort to have the car repaired. I also have followed forums on line describing steering problems but as of yet,it appears there is no dealer repair offered. The car has been in service since 5/5/2018. The problem has persisted since shortly after delivery. I am currently just past 40k miles in this time period. Out of factory warranty but I did purchase a 100k mile warranty at time of sale. I keep thinking this problem is going to become a recall along with excessive steering play,(wandering),and the ever famous "death wobble" of which this vehicle has all three. So far that hasn't happened. Regardless of being termed safety issues my experience is that they are most certainly safety issues. Thank you, john t grandmontagne.

Tipm failure. Failure also affected starter and steering module. Initially vehicles lights and horn would go on without vehicle turned on. Doors lock and unlock by themselves. Ac and heater would shut down and restart. On these instances, dealership was advised, I was told that it was a code problem and codes were reset. Lately vehicle would downshift to first gear at both high and slow speeds causing a hazard in traffic. From a start position vehicle would not shift out of first gear. Vehicle engine would die out in traffic or turnover then die out as if fuel pump was failing. Instrumentation panel would flash and malfunction not allowing driver to see what gear indication was showing. Vehicle power steering would fail at various speeds causing dangerous situations. Last instance the vehicle was towed to dealership due to the unsafe conditions. Dealership and Chrysler advised. Remedy from each is "we are looking for parts, do not know when or can give you a repair date. Vehicle has been at dealer since being towed in. Chrysler refuses to give any assistance. Initial cost of repair quoted at $1100. 00+. Owner refused to pay this amount since it is a known problem with Chrysler products. Dealership will lower costs to $250. 00. Still unacceptable due to chryslers refusal to admit a problem that they are aware of and have had a previous recall for only after threat of lawsuit. But they have limited it to only specific models and years. Problem goes back to 2007. Vehicle in with this problem is a hazard and dangerous to drive at any speeds. No offer of vehicle assistance while waiting to see when vehicle can be put back into use.

Intermittent problem occuring almost exclusively at highway speeds. While driving at highway speeds suddenly, without warning, the vehicle shuts off. All warning lights on the dash board appear, engine completely shuts off which leads to power steering failure and loss of safe control of the vehicle. While the engine shut off is intermittent and does not last for more than a few seconds before it turns back on without use of the key or any other means of manually restarting the vehicle, it is highly unsafe and can lead to severe injury or death. We have noted this issue occuring approximately 1-2 times per month. We finally took the vehicle to the dealership to service and locate the issue with the vehicle on October 20, 2011. The dealership stated they could not find any issues with the vehicle, with the exception of unusally high oil consumption. The dealership advised we do an oil consumption test which will be completed in 3000 miles or 3 months.

The power steering pump has failed 4 times. The vehicle is now 21 months old with 19,000 miles. This has become a safety hazard as I was in philadelphia twice when it failed on a weekend and had to travel over 100 miles to get the Jeep home. Somebody is going to get hurt or cause an accident. If this happened to a women I hate to see what would happen since it makes it very difficult to control the vehicle.
