NHTSA Complaint #10670239 — 1993 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

THE UPPER AND LOWER STEERING SHAFTS SEPARATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THIS WAS A PROBLEM IN CHRYSLER RECALL #604 (RECALL 93V210000) WHERE A PLASTIC PIN HOLDING THE SHAFTS TOGETHER WAS SHEARED IN SPECIFIC JEEP MODELS. THE PLASTIC PIN IN MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PRESENT AND THERE WAS NOTHING PREVENTING THE UPPER AND LOWER STEERING SHAFTS FROM SEPARATING, CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL OF STEERING. THERE COULD BE A FATAL ACCIDENT RESULTING IN THIS IF THE SHAFTS SEPARATED WHILE DRIVING. THE RECALL SHOULD STILL BE PENDING FOR ALL 1993 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. IT IS UNREASONABLE FOR CHRYSLER TO CEASE THIS RECALL, AS IT IS VERY LIKELY TO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IF WOULD OCCUR. *TR
