Vehicle reported on instrument cluster a loss of Electronic Stability Control, Power Steering, blind spot alert, adaptive cruise control, and cruise control. We have been having electronic issues for >2 months. Previously the vehicle reported an estart fault and would randomly engage the ebrake. It would not allow disengaging the ebrake unless the car was restarted and/or hood was opened and shut. This occured while turning left at a light causing the vehicle to abruptly stop in the intersection. We have had the vehicle serviced 2 times, and now will return it for a third time for these electronics issues.

Lane DepartureSteering
When I started the car and backed out I was alerted that the power steering had a failure and lane departure warnings also. Power steering was not working. Left car for an hour and when I restarted it, warning light was off and steering worked again. Random power steering failure is extremely scary.

Driving vehicle at highway speeds, indicators and alarms started going off saying the power steering, airbags, brake assist, and park sense features were unavailable. I exited the interstate, parked in a nearby parking lot, turned off and restarted my car. All indicator lights were normal, so I began driving again. Approximately 43 miles later, also driving at highway speeds, the same indicator lights and alarms appeared. I exited the highway and tried turning off and restarting the car. Upon restarting, all indicator lights and warning messages stayed on, and the power steering was no longer functional. The car had to be towed to a local dealership.

Vehicle is making a knocking noise when in drive and fully stopped. This occurs after drive the vehicle for about 10 miles, once the engine warms up. I've been told that it was a purge selenoid and it's normal. Was also told it was an EGR Valve and also advised that it was the air suspension. Meanwhile they have a open star case stating it's the motor mounts. 100s of people are having the same issue on the facebook group I'm in, as well as forums and no one is getting anywhere. Also my radio system is making a hissing noise and the android auto connection is not stable and doesn't stay connected. They currently have no fix for this. My steering wheel is slightly off to the right to go straight. They stated the alignment is good and that it does that because incase the driver falls asleep, it would drive them off the road instead of into oncoming traffic. That's sounds extremely bogus and very dangerous.

2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited: Looses power steering and the light comes on and a message saying power steering unavailable. Took it to the dealer and they ran the code as the aux battery going below voltage threshold. They’ve changed this battery once already due to the same issue and the battery expanding because of the issue and the tsb (?) 3 times to try and fix this issue. This is about the 6th time I have taken it in. Chrysler lacks at figuring out what is wrong. They’ve gone through every wiring harness everything.
