Consumer Description

THE RACK AND PINION STEERING IS LEAKING AT 75,000 MILES. AFTER BEING QOUTED 2600 DOLLARS FOR THE FIX, I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MOST OTHER JEEP OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM IN LOW MILEAGE JEEPS ALSO. CONTACTED JEEP WITH NO RESPONSE. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN NOTED TO CAUSE THE JEEPS TO BECOME UNRESPONSIVE AND DANGEROUS AS STEERING BECOMES USELESS.
