RECEIVED EMAIL FROM SON ABOUT POWER STEERING HOSE LEAKING WHICH COULD CAUSE A FIRE AFTER WE PURCHASED 2013 JEEP GRAND (PURCHASED ON MAY 31). WENT TO CHECK FOR LEAKAGE... FOUND LEAKAGE. WENT TO DEALER, THEY COULDN'T DETERMINE LEAKAGE EVENTHOUGH INFORMED THEM WHERE TO LOOK. I WENT BACK TO THE SHOP AREA AND INSTRUCTED THEM WHERE TO LOOK; FINALLY THE TECHNICIAN DID FIND THE LEAK ... DUE TO A POWER STEERING PUMP CRACK. SO IN YOUR INVESTIGATION FOR POWER STEERING HOSE CAUSING FIRES, INVESTIGATE FOR THE PUMP ALSO. WE ARE STILL CHECKING DAILY FOR LEAKAGE, EVENTHOUGH THE PUMP WAS REPLACED. POWER STEERING FLUID HAS BEEN ADDED, AND FLUID IS STILL DISAPPEARING !! *TR

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Srt verdict →
