Description of the problem	On april 16, 2018, i took my car into the glendale chrysler jeep dodge dealership in glendale, mo, to obtain the alternator diode thermal fatigue recall replacement. During their inspection, i was notified that i also needed to replace the rack and pinion power steering module due to leaking fluid for $2300. 00. This item is connected to the recall of the alternator diode thermal fatigue problem. In addition, i was notified by the inspector that i had to replace the right rear shocks, also due to broken seals and leaking fluid. This car obviously is experiencing systemic failures, for which jeep should be held responsible, since the car has only been driven by myself and has only 46,000 miles on it. These core items should last at least 100,000 miles. I have found that the dealership is charging me almost twice the going rate for replacing these items, and this is quite upsetting. I have found information on the internet that there are many similar complaints about these electrical failures, and feel strongly that your organization should issue a recall re the rack and pinion power steering module as soon as possible. This is a very dangerous failure and should be jeep's responsibility. My car has had regular service check-ups, the last one being on december 9, 2017, to obtain the brake booster water shield recall replacement - another failure. Between december 9 and april 16, the car was not driven more than a few hundred miles, and always garaged and clean. No accidents in its history. And yet, its electrical system seems to be disintegrating. I feel my life is in danger in this car, and i obviously cannot sell it without these items being fixed, harming me further financially. Please act on this complaint as soon as possible.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
