I have a 2015 GC Summit diesel with 48K miles. Check engine light came on a block from home. Let car sit 2 hours and checked oil, all good. Noticed power steering fluid was empty. I looked under vehicle and did not see any fluid leakage or any leaks from pump or hydraulic lines. Called dealership and they said to bring it in and check it out.
Dealer called next day and said they needed to replace the intake manifold. Two weeks later manifold replaced and car is ready for pickup. I asked about the power steering fluid issue and was told that they could not find any issues and charged me $38 to replace power steering fluid. I have never in my life seen power steering fluid or any hydraulic fluid evaporate. Service tech said that Power steering fluid needs to be flushed at regular intervals?? I double checked the service intervals listed in the owners manual,and check level and add as needed is all that is listed.
Now I will watch it like a hawk. Has anyone else experienced issues with vanishing power steering fluid?
