Description of the problem	In 2016, my 2012 jeep grand cherokee laredo had about 38k miles when i found out that my vehicles rack and pinion had a "minor leak" that they service center recommended i "keep an eye on." this was something i really needed to save for because it would cost $3000 to repair and i had just purchased the vehicle! Less than a week later i was in an accident because i lost power steering while driving with my family. This forced me to replace the rack and pinion as well as further damage. This is pretty unusual for a car with mileage that low. Additionally, it is ridiculous that this issue hasn't been a sufficient impetus for investigation considering how ubiquitous that exact claim is among jgcl owners. These common claims suggest that the issue isnt caused by the driver, but is in fact, a manufacturers defect. Appropriately, the manufacturer is obligated to remedy this defect.. The consumer stated the alternator failed and caused a fire. The consumer requested to be reimbursed for the repairs as the vehicle exhibited the failure described in a recall. js jsdtjb
