    I was traveling to my daughters when the jeep suddenly veered to the left. Crossed center line, hit guard rail and rolled three times down the highway. Luckily no cars were coming. My front drivers side fire was wedged in the guard rail. I was upside down and managed to undo my seat belt and crawl out back broken window. The man behind me wrote a letter telling me how he was just following me and i just lost…

    I have a 2006 grand cherokee with 30,000 miles. While driving on a residential road, the steering gave out and the vehicle crashed into cars on the right - the vehicle was going around 15mps. Upon inspection the actual inner ball joint that threads into the power steering unit broke free causing the front right wheel to cut loose. The threads were stripped off of the ball joint that connects the rod into the power…

    Purchased the 2006 jeep grand cherokee limited (4.7l) new from dealership. It stalls unexpectedly. Usually at low speeds. Most of the time while turning. It does it probably once every two or three months, which makes it next to impossible to duplicate at the dealership. In addition, no codes are ever tripped, leaving no proof of an existing problem. We have taken it to the dealership on three separate occasions…
