Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Driving at highway speeds, 55 to 70 mph the steering wheel will violently shake back and forth and the car will jerk from left to right. I took the vehicle to the dealership and was informed the power steering rack and pinion would need complete replacement. The estimate with a new 4 wheel alignment is over 1900 dollars. This jeep is driven by my wife, has never been off road and has only 33,000 miles on it. A service technician told me this is a very common problem and they see many jeeps where the rack needs replacement. I called two other dealerships and was told this is a problem area on 2012 grand cherokees. I was also told they redesigned the rack a couple of years ago because of this problem. This repair should be covered and recalled as a dangerous manufacturing defect.
