AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40MPH THE VEHICLE JUST WANTS TO WANDER USUALLY TO THE DRIVERS SIDE. HAVE TO CONSTANTLY OVER CORRECT TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. THERE IS A BAD LEAK ALLOWING OUTSIDE AIR TO ENTER THE VEHICLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE.

STEERING
I AM LEASING THIS VEHICLE, BRAND NEW AT ONLY 8 MILES IT WAS ALREADY PULLING TO THE SIDES WHEN ON HIGHWAY. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT'S A JEEP THING SINCE IT'S FIRST TIME DRIVING A JEEP, BUT I REALIZED IT'S UNSAFE ON HIGHWAY IT KEEPS PULLING TO THE SIDES! SO I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY OTHERS ARE REPORTING THIS WITH THE 2020 AND 2019 WRANGLERS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON 4 OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE DEMONSTRATED SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. ALL EVENTS OCCURRED WHILE COMING TO A GRADUAL STOP APPLYING THE BRAKES NORMALLY. EACH TIME, THE VEHICLE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED HIGH AND SHOT FORWARD [INTO AN INTERSECTION ONCE THROUGH A STOP SIGN!]. ON ALL OCCASIONS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE WAS NOT DEPRESSED AND THE FLOOR MAT WAS NOT INTERFERING. ONLY BY SPLIT-SECOND RESPONSE ON MY PART WAS I ABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. IT HAPPENED OVER SEVERAL DAYS--NOT JUST A SINGLE PERIOD OR SESSION.

STEERING
THE STEERING WHEEL CAN BE TURNED FROM TOP DEAD CENTER AN INCH IN EITHER DIRECTION WITH THE VEHICLE TURNING. THIS IS MORE NOTICEABLE ON HIGHWAY WHERE IT WORRIES ME THE MOST. I CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE VEHICLE BEING PUSHED BY THE WIND AND WHEN THE STEERING IS NOT RESPONDING. SINCE THIS VEHICLE IS TOP HEAVY, I DO NOT WANT TO OVER TURN TO MAKE UP FOR THE LACK OF STEERING RESPONSE. AN EXAMPLE OF THE ISSUE IS AS FOLLOWS: ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN BETWEEN TWO VEHICLES, THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT COMES CLOSER. TO COUNTER ACT THIS I TURN SLIGHTLY LEFT AND IT TAKES ABOUT 2 INCHES OF WHEEL TURN BEFORE THE STEERING REACTS AND GOES LEFT. THIS DELAY I FEEL IS VERY UNSAFE AND MAY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. ALSO THIS STEERING ISSUES CAUSE ME TO CONSTANTLY CORRECTING STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. THE VEHICLE IS CONSTANTLY GOING FROM LANE MARKER TO LANE MARKER EVEN WITH STEERING CORRECTION. IT'S LIKE A DRUNK DRIVER IS DRIVING MY VEHICLE. I HAVE VIDEO SHOWING HOW MUCH THE STEERING CAN MOVE WITHOUT RESPONSE BUT NOTICED I CANNOT UPLOAD VIDEO.

STEERING
VEHICLE WANDERS LEFT AND RIGHT AT CITY SPEEDS AND WORSE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. STEERING WHEEL HAS A 'DEAD ZONE' WITH NO REACTION IN WHEEL MOVEMENT. TOO MUCH VEHICLE WANDER WHEN TRYING TO SIMPLY DRIVE STRAIGHT, LIKELY TO CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL IN ANY INCLEMENT WEATHER. FCA HAS ISSUED A NEW SERVICE BULLETIN FOR REPAIR TO ALL JL AND JT MODEL JEEPS. HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE PURCHASE IN JULY AND IS STILL AN ISSUE 500 MILES LATER. A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH ALL 2018-2020 WRANGLERS THAT FIAT CHRYSLER HAS YET TO FIX.

STEERING
JUST BOUGHT THIS 2020 JEEP SAHARA JULY 2020 AND THE STEERING IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. YOU MUST FIGHT THIS JEEP TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE , IF YOU TAKE YOU EYES OFF THE ROAD FOR A SECOND YOU COULD BE IN A DITCH. IT PULLS LEFT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WITH 1000 MILES ON IT AND THEY DID A FRONT END ALIGNMENT TO NO AVAIL. SO I TOOK IT BACK THE SAME DAY A LEFT IT. STILL NOT FIXED, BUT THEY TELL ME IT IS NORMAL.

STEERING
HI, I HAVE A 2020 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA. THE STEERING HAS A PROBLEM WITH WANDERING ALL OVER THE ROAD. IT WORSENS AT HIGHER SPEEDS. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE ON THIS PROBLEM. AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE WANDERING ISSUE WITH THE STEERING BOX. THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED. PLEASE SEND ME A CASE NUMBER AND HOW TO PROCEED TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. THERE ARE NUMEROUS WRANGLER OWNERS ON THE INTERNET FORUMS WITH THE SAME SAFETY CONCERNS AS ME. THANK YOU, GIUSEPPA

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES, 4 SOFT TOP REPLACEMENT AND OR REPAIRS ALSO OTHER VISITS... ALSO 1 SOFT TOP REPLACEMENT. WATER LEAKS, TOP LITERALLY COMING OFF/ OUT OF FRAME AT SPEEDS OVER 30 MPH. 2 OF THE TOPS HAD FRICTION BURN/ TEARS AND THE 3RD IS DOING THE SAME THING BUT WORSE. CARPETS ARE SATURATED WITH WATER DAYS AFTER RAINING. THE JEEP HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP OR IN MY DRIVEWAY UNABLE TO USE WHEN IT RAINS, OVER SPEEDS OF 30 MPH. CURRENTLY THE TOP HAS A BIG OPENING THAT CANE LOSE ABOVE THE DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD AND AIR AND OR RAIN MISTS INTO MY FACE. I HAVE ASKED TO HAVE IT REPLACED WITH A HARD TOP OR A VINYL SOFT TOP MULTIPLE TIMES TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP, EVEN THO I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH THE 'BLACK AND TAN' PACKAGE WHICH CONSISTS OF TAN CANVAS SOFT TOP AND TAN INTERIOR, BLACK EXTERIOR. THEY STATED 'THEY (THE DEALER) CAN NOT DO THAT BECAUSE OF THE VIN #' BUT THEN STATED I COULD BUY ONE FROM THEM. AS OF TODAY MY 2020 JEEP WITH APPROXIMATELY 4,800 SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY OUT OF SERVICE. I PURCHASED/LEASED A NEW VEHICLE BECAUSE I HAVE CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE, MULTIPLE DR. APPOINTMENTS, A NEW BORN BABY AND 2 OTHER CHILDREN, I NEED A RELIABLE VEHICLE. THE JEEP IS UNSAFE FOR MYSELF AND DRIVERS BEHIND ME, FEARING THE TOP MAY COMPLETELY COME OFF WHILE DRIVING AND OR METAL FRAME.

STEERING
2020 JEEP WRANGLER BOUGHT JULY 16 2020 HAD 35 MILES AND NOW IT IS 1000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS VEHICLE DRIFTS LEFT TO RIGHT, YOU CONSTANTLY NEED TO BE CORRECTING STEERING TO KEEP VEHICLE IN YOUR OWN LANE. STEERING GET WORSE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40 MPH. YOU NEED TO BE MOVING STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH TO KEEP VEHICLE STRAIGHT AND THEN WITHOUT WARNING YOU ARE BEING JERKED INTO OTHER LANE. I WILL NOT LET ANY OTHER FAMILY MEMBER DRIVE JEEP UNTIL THEY FIX THIS ISSUE.

STEERING
MY NEW 2020 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON HAS EXCESSIVE STEERING-WHEEL PLAY RESULTING IN AN INABILITY TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE AT SPEED ON THE INTERSTATES. UNLIKE MY PREVIOUS 1997 AND 2005 WRANGLER OR CURRENT 2012 GRAND CHEROKEE, WHICH PERMIT TOTAL STEERING CONTROL, MT RUBICON MOVES FROM SIDE-TO-SIDE, I.E., "FLOATS, " WHEN DRIVING AT SPEED GREATER THAN 30 MPH OR ON BUMPY ROADS AND GETS WORSE ON INTERSTATES AT 60. CAN'T MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE IN THE LANE, ONLY ABLE TO RECOVER AS THE VEHICLE DRIFTS FROM CENTER WHICH IS CONSTANT. THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPT SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND IT IS A JEEP THING. CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER CONCERN DEPT SAYS TAKING IT TO THE DEALER BUT AFTER THE THIRD TIME WITH ONLY 9,000 MILES ON THE JEEP I FEEL IT WILL NOT BE FIXED.AS I'VE DRIVEN ALL MODELS OF JEEP FOR SOME 30 YEARS, I'M QUITE DISAPPOINTED IN AS MUCH AS IT'S A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE NOT BEING ABLE TO FULLY CONTROL THE FRONT END AT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY.

CALLED DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS STILL BRAND NEW THAT THE ROADSIDE ASSITANCE WAS NOT AVAIBLE, LEFT ME THERE IN THE DITCH AND I HAD TO CALL MY INSURANCE.

POWER TRAIN
2020 JEEP WRANGLE JL WITH LESS THAN 3000 MILES WILL PERIODICALLY LOSE ACCELERATION AND NOT GO PAST 3 GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER DRIVING FOR A BIT AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I HAVE NOTICED IF YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND BACK ON, IT SEEMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THE UNEXPECTED LOSS OF ACCELERATION AND ABILITY TO REACH NORMAL OPERATING SPEED HAS PUT ME IN DANGER SITUATIONS NUMEROUS TIMES. NOT SURE IF IT IS RELATED BUT I ALSO NOTED THAT THE AUTO START/STOP WARNING LIGHT WAS ON THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED.

STEERING
2020 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA COMPLAINT. VIN: [XXX] DATE OF PURCHASE 07/20/2020 I LEASED A BRAND NEW 2020 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA WITH A 2.0 4CYL TURBO. I AM LOVING EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CAR EXCEPT THE STEERING. THE STEERING ON THIS VEHICLE IS TERRIBLE AND DANGEROUS!!! THE STEERING IS LOOSE AND ON IT'S OWN, IT WILL DRIFT OR FLOAT TO EITHER SIDE, RIGHT OR LEFT, ON A SMOOTH DRY SURFACE AT VIRTUALLY ANY SPEED. IT IS EVEN WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. IT CANNOT STEER STRAIGHT LIKE ANY NORMAL VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT JEEP SHOULD BE INSTITUTING A RECALL AND REPAIR ORDER FOR! I'VE INSTRUCTED MY FAMILY MEMBERS TO CONTACT OUR ATTORNEY IF ANYONE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT RECEIVES INJURY, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. MY FAMILY MEMBERS WILL INFORM OUR ATTORNEY THAT THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM EXISTED SINCE THE DAY IT WAS PURCHASED AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER (JEEP) KNEW ABOUT THIS FROM NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM CUSTOMERS, AND YET SO FAR HAS FAILED TO INSTITUTE A RECALL FOR REPAIR. CHECK ONLINE AND YOU WILL FIND MANY OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR NEW WRANGLER'S STEERING PROBLEM. ONLINE AFTERMARKET COMPANIES ARE ATTEMPTING TO SELL PRODUCTS THAT "MAY" RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. WHY SHOULD ANY NEW OWNER HAVE TO SPEND MONEY ON AN AFTER MARKET PRODUCT FOR A BRAND NEW CAR? IF JEEP DOES NOT INITIATE A RECALL, I WILL WRITE COMPLAINTS AND NEGATIVE REVIEWS EVERYWHERE I CAN AND THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME I PURCHASE ONE. I WILL RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE NOT TO PURCHASE A JEEP PRODUCT BECAUSE OF THIS GROSS NEGLIGENCE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
