Steering box locked up while on a left hand bend. Crossed uncoming traffic, almost went off side of mountain pass. Contacted Jeep, they are apathetic about it. Had this have happened at speed, the consequences could have been far worse.

After tolerating both problems for some time (poor starting and leaking power steering fluid), I took it in for repair estimates. My mechanic told me what the problems were and, that in his opinion, neither should be happening at the low miles I have on the vehicle. I am currently trying to get Chrysler to put more than a minimal portion into the repairs. No safety defect listed.

Steering gear box out of order. Yh.

Vehicle makes noise when shifting from second to third gear and from third to fourth. The noise is most prevalent when first shifted and disappears as the speed increases. It sounds like vibrating tin. Another noise occurs when slowing down, a whirling sound like a whistle. The noises are not random. They happen every time.
