 Description of the problemSimilar to the october 30th post, during cold mornings (below 45), when first getting on the road i have had severe steering issues. On two separate occasions in the past week, while trying to make very slight left turns to stay on the road, it has felt as if power steering no longer functions. During my drive this morning i had to slam the brakes and pull very hard to the left to avoid driving into the safety rail (i was going approximately 40 mph on county road). The condition gradually improves and within 5-10 minutes appears no more. A few days earlier i made it less than a mile down the same road and the steering was so unresponsive i turned around as i felt the vehicle was unsafe to drive and took another vehicle to work. That morning my tire sensor showed very low pressure so i assumed that was causing the steering issue, but upon talking with jeep service the tire sensor alarm is likely due to low temps and the steering should not have been affected. I spoke with local jeep service department this afternoon and they are having me drop off the vehicle tomorrow to investigate the issue.
