What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 jeep grand cherokee limited. The contact stated that while making a right turn the steering failed and the brakes failed to stop the vehicle. This caused the contact to have a head on collision with a tree. The contact received chest injuries from the air bag deploying and an injury to the shoulder. The vehicle was towed from the scene of the accident and was scheduled to be inspected. The failure and current mileages were 2,600.
While making a 3-point turn the power steering failed with the steering wheel turned all the way to the left. An unfamiliar warning light appeared on the dash (which was not identified in the manual or on-line) consisting of a red steering wheel over 2 red lines. Everything else seemed to be working. I grappled with the wheel to finish the turn, then turned the engine off. After re-starting, the power steering was working again. I had it towed to the dealer because I was afraid it would happen again.
