Question Power steering.

Does anyone have any info on the Power steering fluid disappearing without leaving a trace in a 2013 Grand Cherokee Laredo!

Is it leaking at a low point and blowing back from the wind? Might only be leaking under load which would explain why you don't see it while parked.

Hi chasrose,

If you decide to visit your local dealership I'd be happy to follow up with them for you! Just PM our page with your VIN and let me know.

Thanks ,but when it went back to the dealer they only topped it up and took no further action.Where I get my jeep serviced is with a more reliable Mech., and he just couldn't find any leak at all and said that it is very strange that the fluid actually disappears between services at the rate of approx., 100 mls each time.I suggested that may be it has some type of inner vaporization or there is the tiniest of leaks from around the filler cap! Might look at the filler cap seal.Thanks. chasrose.
