Consumer Description

THE STEERING STARTED TO MAKE A GRINDING NOISE AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. TOOK RIGHT AWAY TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD A PART IN THE STEERING CAME APART AND MESSED UP THE STEERING AND POWER PUMP. WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. STILL IN GARAGE AND WILL COST 1340$ TO FIX. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I AM GLAD I WAS ONLY DOING 35 AT THE TIME. HOW MANY OTHERS HAS THIS HAPPENED TO. WHAT IF I WAS GOING FASTER OR EVEN ON THE INTERSTATE? WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE JEEP. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR
