STEERING
LOOSE AND 'FLIGHTY' STEERING. VEHICLE SEEMS NEEDS CONSTANT STEERING DIRECTIONS, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS, TO KEEP IN A STRAIGHT LINE. STEERING WHEEL REQUIRES A FEW INCHES OF INPUT IN EITHER DIRECTION TO KEEP STRAIGHT.

STEERING
SINCE TAKING POSESSION OF THE JEEP I HAVE EXPERIENCED MAJOR STEERING WANDERING. I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN IN AN ACCIDENT TWICE AS A RESULT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES BUT ALL THEY DO IS TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. I AM FEARFUL FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY AT THIS POINT. ACTUAL ISSUE DETAILS: THE STEERING WILL TURN RIGHT OR LEFT UNEXPECTEDLY. THERE IS EASILY 2 INCHES OF PLAY IN THE STEERING AS IT IS SO WHEN THE TRUCK WANDERS IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. THIS ISSUES IS MOST APPARENT ON THE HIGHWAY BUT YOU CAN FEEL IT AS YOU DRIVE AROUND TOWN.

STEERING
LOOSE STEERING/"DEAD SPOT" CAUSES THERE TO BE PLAY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. THIS CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BE DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT PATH. EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DEALERSHIPS DESCRIBE THE VEHICLE AS "OPERATING AS DESIGNED"

STEERING
STEERING: VEHICLE WANDERS AND STEERING IS LOOSE IN EFFORTS TO CORRECT DIRECTION. ANGLE OF ROAD SURFACE SUCH AS CROWN SOMETIMES RESULTS IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTION CHANGE TOWARD ANOTHER LANE AND THE SLOP IN THE STEERING ITSELF MAKES IT CHALLENGING TO CORRECT WITHOUT OVER-CORRECTION. IN TRAFFIC THIS RESULTS IN INTENSE EFFORT TO MAINTAIN POSITION WHICH RESULTS IN INCREASED PHYSICAL AND MENTAL FATIGUE OVER RELATIVELY LONG DRIVES. THE STEERING SEEMS INCONSISTENT AS IT VARIES FROM MINIMALLY PROBLEMATIC TO A WHITE-KNUCKLE DRIVING EXPERIENCE. HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE IF THIS IS DUE TO ROAD CONDITION VERSUS STEERING COMPONENT. DEALER HAS PERFORMED THE V41 STEERING DAMPER RECALL WHICH IMPROVED ONLY EXCESSIVE WHEEL SHUDDER WHEN DRIVING OVER ROAD IMPERFECTIONS AND DID NOTHING TO IMPROVE THE WANDERING/LOOSENESS. THEY ALSO DID ADJUST ALIGNMENT WHICH THEY SAID WAS OFF SLIGHTLY. NO NOTABLE IMPROVEMENT FROM THAT. I HAVE ADVISED DEALER THAT THE REPAIR EFFORT WAS NOT EFFECTIVE AND I WILL NOW HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK IN, BUT THEY TEND TO JUST PROVIDE THE ?IT?S A JEEP - THAT?S THE WAY THEY ARE? LINE. THE STEERING IN THE JEEP IS NOT TYPICAL AND I SEE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS IN FORUMS WHERE A SINGLE THREAD HAS HALF A MILLION VIEWS. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT HERE.

STEERING
PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT AT LOW SPEEDS OR IN ONE LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. RETURNED VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR TROUBLESHOOTING. AFTER FOUR DAYS THEY RETURNED THE VEHICLE STATING ON PAPERWORK THAT IT WAS "AS GOOD AS IT CAN BE." VEHICLE CONTINUED TO WANDER EVEN WORSE AFTER FIX. THIS VEHICLE NOW FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
THE STEERING IN THE 2019 JEEP JL WRANGLER IS SO LOOSE AND WANDERS ACROSS THE LANES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THAT IT HAS BECOME TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY. IT DOES NOT STAY CENTERED AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP STRAIGHT. IT REQUIRES SO MUCH CONCENTRATION TO WORK THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP IT IN THE LANE THAT IT'S JUST NOT WORTH THE DRIVE AND THE EXTREME STRESS.
