2012 Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE Steering Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1177134
Internal NHTSA #	10711856
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2012
File date	28/03/15
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Seal fails prematurely on rack and pinion. It leaks into boot sealing the connection between the end of the rack and the inner rods, which masks the problem. Because the vehicle is not dripping fluid the leak goes unnoticed. I see this as a serious issue, as most people do not expect the rack & pinion to fail at such an early interval they are probably not checking fluid levels.. This could potentially cause lack of steering and result in many accidents. Jeep is ignoring the problem, message boards on internet are full of people reporting this issue. I would like to see it investigated.
