| Description of the problem | Was approaching a stop sign which was on a hill when suddenly i lost total control of the vehicle which crashed into a brick wall. The vehicle did not just venture off the side of the road it actually ended up looking as though i made a sharp right turn. A state trooper reported to me that it looked as if the tierod had broken causing the steering to go out which in turn forced the crash. My concern is, as well as other 2011 jeep wranglers, is whether or not my jeep may have had the same issues as the ones which at this point have been recalled. There is no explanation for this accident whatsoever on my part. I have to go to court in january and sure would like some answers. Chrysler says the vehicle could very well be recalled at a later date however, i feel a need to protect another from a similar accident. I strongly feel this was a malfunction in the vehicle.
