Consumer Description

4 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS, THE LAST TIME JUST TODAY, AS I WAS DECELERATING AND TURNING RIGHT WHILE GETTING OFF HIGHWAYS ONTO EXIT RAMPS, THE STEERING WHEEL FELT LIKE IT LOCKED - THE POWER STEERING TURNED OFF, AS DID THE POWER BRAKES - I HAD TO COAST, AND THE RPMS SHOWED 0, ALTHOUGH ALL THE LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. I WAS FORCED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK - WHILE STILL ON THE EXIT RAMP - TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT ON AGAIN TO GET IT TO DRIVE NORMALLY. WHICH IT DID, AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. BUT IT'S UNNERVING AND CERTAINLY UNSAFE, AND A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALS IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN QUITE FREQUENTLY TO OTHER JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2012 DRIVERS.
