STEERING
THERE IS A DEAD SPOT IN THE STEERING. YOU MUST MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL 1/2"-1" TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT BEFORE IT WILL ACTIVATE BASED OFF OF THE STEERING INPUT. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS PART OF THE TYPICAL JEEP SETUP UNTIL I READ MANY OTHER OWNERS IN THE JEEP JLU FORUM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. I'VE CALLED (3) DIFFERENT DEALERS WHO INDICATED THAT THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THE ISSUE. I'VE PROVIDED A LINK TO A FACEBOOK VIDEO FROM ONE OF THE FORUM MEMBERS SO THAT YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH PLAY IS IN THE STEERING INPUT AT 70 MPH. I WAS DRIVING IN A SEVERE RAINSTORM RECENTLY AND BEGAN TO HYDRO-PLANE AND DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I HAD THE PROPER AMOUNT OF INPUT TO STEERING THAT WOULD ALLOW ME TO RECOVER WITHOUT JERKING THE WHEEL. THIS AMOUNT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO CORRECTLY ADJUST IF AN IMMEDIATE INPUT IS NEEDED WITHOUT OVER CORRECTING. HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/JEEPWRANGLERJL/PERMALINK/1014060645441660/ THIS HAS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THE DAY I TOOL DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE. I CURRENTLY HAVE APPROX. 2480 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

STEERING
LOOSE STEERING AND DRIFT WHILE DRIVING. UNABLE TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE WITHOUT CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTION. VERY NOTICEABLE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AS THE VEHICLE WILL WANT TO DRIVE LEFT OR RIGHT IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU STOP CORRECTING STEERING. STARTED AT 19 MILES TOTAL ON THE VEHICLE. AS SOON AS I PURCHASED IT AND GOT ON THE FREEWAY IT FELT LIKE DRIVING ON ICE. FLAT OUT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, RIGHT FROM THE FACTORY.

STEERING
AS YOU DRIVE, THE VEHICLE HAS A TENDENCY TO DRIFT LEFT AND RIGHT, REQUIRING CONSTANT CORRECTION. LOWERING THE INFLATION OF THE TIRES SEEMED TO HELP, BUT THE ISSUE STILL REMAINS.

SEATS
THE DRIVER'S SEAT EMITS A TERRIBLE SQUEAKING NOISE. I TOOK IT TO ONE DEALER WHO DIDN'T FIX IT. THEN TO A SECOND. I'M STILL WAITING ON A PART AND IT'S BEEN TWO WEEKS. IT WILL BE FIVE WEEKS WITH THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THEY EVEN ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE IT. I'VE OWNED THE CAR FOR THREE MONTHS.

STEERING
MERGING ON TO HIGHWAY, STEERING STIFFENED THEN LOOSENED. STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE AT 45-90 DEGREE ANGLE TO MAINTAIN STRAIGHT TRACK. AT HOME, I NOTICED THE TRACK BAR MOUNT HAD SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME. THE WELD ON THE OUTBOARD SIDE IS ON MOUNT INSTEAD OF THE SEAM BETWEEN THE MOUNT AND FRAME. THE FRONT AND REAR WELDS ON THE MOUNT ARE CRACKED. ONLY INTACT WELD IS THE INBOARD WELD.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I LOOKED UNDER MY BRAND NEW WRANGLER JL AFTER HEARING PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT BAD WELDS. SURE ENOUGH, MY WELDS ARE AWFUL. A JEEP SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THERE IS NO WAY THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LEAVE THE FACTORY. AS OF RIGHT NOW, JEEP HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING FOR ME. FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. I HOPE JEEP HAS A RECALL SOON. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE.

MANY WELDS ON THE FRAME TO INCLUDE THE TRACK BAR ARE EXTREMELY POROUS. IF/WHEN THE TRACK BAR WELD GIVES THE VEHICLE WILL RESULT IN A TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING. MAKING IT A HIGH RISK FOR ACCIDENT AND INJURY. *DT *TR

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY, THE STEERING HAS ABOUT AN INCH OF PLAY MOVING LEFT OR RIGHT WHERE NO CHANGE OCCURS TO THE TIRES. SO I COULD DRIVING AND MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT SLIGHTLY AND THE TIRE DOESNT MOVE LEFT. SO WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS GOING THROUGH CURVES I TEND TO DRIFT A BIT DUE TO THIS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
VEHICLE STALLED IN HIGHWAY, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC FOR NO REASON AND WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO RESTART. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE RADIO AND BACKUP CAMERA WENT OUT AND CAME BACK AN HOUR OR SO LATER. THE RADIO, WHICH CONTROLS ALL ELECTRONICS AND BACKUP CAMERA, WENT OUT AGAIN. DEALER REPLACED SOME SORT OF INTERFACE FOR THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM (RADIO) ON 07/30/18. THEN VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN IN HIGHWAY, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON 08/03/2018 AND WAS DIFFICULT TO RESTART. THEN, ON 08/09/2018, A BATTERY CHARGE WARNING CAME ON AND THEY REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR. WHAT IS EVEN MORE TROUBLING, IS THESE VERY PROBLEMS ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. ALL WORK HAS BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTEE BUT I HAVE WASTED THE BETTER PART OF TWO FULL DAYS DRIVING TO/FROM THE DEALER OR WAITING IN THE WAITING ROOM. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FCA (JEEP). IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM JEEP ENGINEERS HAVE DESIGNED FOR THESE WRANGLER RUBICON JLS IS FLAWED TO SAY THE LEAST.
