My car has less than 35K miles on it and I just had to spend over $2,100 dollars to repair the rack, pinion, and steering mount. They said this problem is common. For a car to be this new and need repairs this quick is ridiculous.

The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, the vehicle unexpectedly lost power and completely stalled.

The failure was diagnosed as a software glitch, and a secondary battery was installed; however, the failure recurred. The failure mileage was approximately 43,000.

Steering rack needs to be replaced per dealership. Reported loud clunking noise when turning. Not covered under warranty. Was told it was regular car maintenance. 49k miles with bumper to bumper expired a month before complaint. Have noted in forums multiple complaints for same issue yet jeep refuses to cover.
