Sorry I meant to vote No Mine is not loose at allFor those have voted āyesā this is normal I am curious if you have taken it to the dealer and/or just given in to āitās a jeep thing

Posting that video was not social media whining. Its hard to know what is normal and what is not. I would definitely say that is not normal and you should continue to press FCA and the dealer about getting it fixed. Iām constantly correcting my steering on the Jeep. Morseso than my Lexus or the CRV I traded in. But its nowhere near what youāre showing in that video and more like what Iād expect from a vehicle like a jeep.No joke. No reason to be a jackass. I have been 5 times. They have had it close to 4 weeks total time.
I was just asking if it was what people are experiencing. They were starting to make me think it was just me. Clearly it is not.

I think you are missing the point. The fact that anyone else says they experience the same thing or their jeep does not drive like this at tells me I am not making up the problems. By know means am I saying 22 votes means jeep should recall all 2018 Saharas22 votes on a forum that is not a cross section of all Wrangler users doesn't qualify as clearly.
What about the nearly 3000 posts and 196 pages and counting on the original steering issue thread. Does that thread indicate maybe it's more than a handful?22 votes on a forum that is not a cross section of all Wrangler users doesn't qualify as clearly.
Same 22 people over and over and over but I was just commenting on the poll results. Not saying they don't have issues just that most don't. Some people extrapolate their problem to the entire brand instead of keeping perspective.What about the nearly 3000 posts and 196 pages and counting on the original steering issue thread.

Mine isn't that bad, but it does wander at times. When I go from the Jeep to my 2018 F-150 it's like a night and day difference. It's as if I have to really concentrate to drive the Jeep, and the F-150 almost drives itself.

i voted yes because my 2019 was like that upon delivery. I lost track, have you tried going to a different dealership? it's really frustrating how some dealership service departments are good and at least try to address customer concerns, while others refuse to acknowledge what is an obvious problem. the inconsistency is annoying. what good is an extended warranty (I have the lifetime warranty) if they won't fix anything?
My steering is not ālooseā but tends to wander the road, drifting both left and right.
Not undrivable, but certainly a chore to keep straight and relatively unsafe.
I have been at the dealer a few times and recently left it for a few days. Both the top tech and service mgr have driven it and agree itās neither right nor normal. Not a Jeep thing at all.
FCA has a case open and has been involved, but there is no solution yet. They have been responsive in their emails and calls to me. But thatās as far as it goes. There seems to be no pressure with engineering to get it resolved.
Itās a brand new JLU with less than 1500 miles, this has been this way since I drove it off the lot.
No there are no mods done...100 % stock Sahara.
Yes we have done the obvious tire pressure, ball joints, flash the computer, added a dampener, checked alignment, etc. everything but replace the steering gear box.
The hold up now is Chrysler Engineering is āthinkingā about what to do next. But while they ponder the issue I am stuck with a $42,000 garage decoration that drives like a broken Walmart shopping cart. They donāt seem to have any sense of urgency or initiative to instruct the dealer to change the gear box as others have had success doing.
Yes, Iām frustrated and ready to force a buy back next since time is of the essence in my opinion. I love my Jeep and only want it to drive like it should.
So I ordered a new 2019 JL 4 door Rubicon for my wife. Noticed the steering right away. Took it back to dealer as I thought the alignment was just out. They checked alignment and tire pressure. All was good, so I took it home. After the first tire rotation it seemed to be better for a bit, but then right back to its wondering ways. The dealer just put all new tires on it in hopes that would correct it. Unfortunately it didnāt, so I starting searching on here and am seeing that a lot of people are having the same issues.
Hi tom231, Woodynj, HoundDude, Rdmitch, Vargasvinyls and Bearded_Dragon,Really helpful.
@Woodynj my JL does the same and I have a dead spot in the steering wheel. I've been working with Jeep to try addressing the issue. I see you already posted in, "Loose steering feels like it has play and drifts" thread. Continue to pay attention to that thread for any remedies.
Thank you. I already did that and am talking with FCA to figure out resolution. Thanks for reaching out.Hi tom231, Woodynj, HoundDude, Rdmitch, Vargasvinyls and Bearded_Dragon,
We are very sorry that you have experienced this. Please send us a private message if you would like to have this concern documented and looked into further.
