| Description of the problem | My check engine light came on, so i took my jeep into the dealer, my jeep has approx. 61k miles, very good care taken, oil changes, etc., has not even needed new brakes yet. Dealership says ther is small evap leak in exhaust system - $285 later, the light is off. They also tell me my power steering is leaking and will go out soon, it needs a steering gear replacement that will cost $1,955. I did some internet research and this appears to be an ongoing problem. Service manager thought it should be covered under powertrain warranty, but no. I believe this is a dangerous condition should my steering go out and should be a recall as many many others have had this same issue. |
