So, basically, all they would be paying for is the cost of replacing the stabilizer...?

That's the way I read it. And only for 2018-2020 models, which makes it sound like they've fixed it since then...

Same thought. And does taking them up on this "deal" leaving you hanging in the dust later down the road? Solid front axels have had this issue for years and years. My 1965 CJ had a problem at one time and I just fixed it. Seems like the "world owes me everything" crowd is looking for a payoff for a thing that has always been an issue. My 1976 F250 even had problems with "death wobble" at one time.

So I asked our Sentient Overlord (ChatGPT) everyone's favorite question.

Yup, typical class action settlement- we get a free POS $60 damper and the lawyers walk away with $3.95 million.

Yup. And we all have to pay for the settlement when we buy a new Wrangler.
This is partly the result of FCA setting out to attract new customers into the Jeep brand.

Not sure I follow the "attract new customers" thing. It's really nothing more than saving 40 cents here and 40 cents there, and producing a sub standard product. This lawsuit will cost Stellantis probably around $ 5 million. What did they save in the end? Not much, but succeeded in pissing off a lot of customers.

My 2022 Gladiator with 7k miles has this. They need to extend this to other years. It is not fixed.

New customers to Jeep + shitty steering = class action suit.

You should be able to redeem it for your $25.

My father owned a garage for over 60 years. Cars with IFS can have this issue too but maybe due to deterioration of a different component.
