Is it possible your axels may be misaligned, deformed. It may also be that your frame could possibly be bent or welded improperly? Misaligned parts bad welds can cause issues with how a vehicle handles. I mean FCA like most companies out sourced all these things and there were a small number that had frame weld issue on the early JL's. It may be possible you got a dud frame and i would seek a 4x4 shop/frame bodyshop with Jeep knowledge have them diagnose it. Most charge a small fee some may not charge u at all. Based on how cheap the frontend parts they replaced on mine i wouldn't put it past the frame being warped bad axel ect. Just thoughts on helping you seek a fix..
I would have your dealer salesman pull your car fax and see what all it list on it or pay the way to dang high price an pull it yourself. Every time you have had your wrangler in service for a oil changes, recalls or TSBs,repairs it will give brief summary of it on that report. Get your Jeeps current value wholesale and retail maybe that could help your case prove loss of value i know what mine is and well it was way lower than my JK was in the first year? Seems the JL's are not the resale kings like the JK's are. Dang i miss my JK lol
Frustration sucks I know when all you want is it fixed right as do I and everyone else with warranty issues they refuse to fix. Unlike you i have refused to Fix FCA's QC mexican/Chinese Junk with my own money. I've also come to peace with it all and i really don't care about my jeeps issues now or care to share them further. My Jeep fanboy Kool aide and give a crap is all out. I would try to seek the best solution for your needs and budget.. Best of luck hope you find a resolution soon
HI, all good questions and suggestions. Thank you!
My Jeep was built in April 2019, so I thought that was after the weld issues were resolved. I have wondered about a potential structural issue because everyone else has had success with the PSC kit that I had installed. It was incredibly discouraging to have that installed and still have it wander like a drunken soldier.
My hubby had his car on the quickjack today and had to take my Jeep to get some tools. He said that the steering reminded him of our dog on walks—always veering left and right while chasing squirrels . (That is his JK in my avatar—I loved that Jeep).
I decided to file for arbitration for lemon law seeing how nothing has solved the problem. I had my hearing last Thursday and it was an interesting and frustrating experience. FCA maintains their position that I’m driving the Jeep, so there’s *no* problem; no “substantial loss of use, value, or safety.” Never mind we had to cancel our trip to Moab and Colorado because of the steering. WTH. I haven’t heard the decision.
We’re thinking of next steps with my Jeep. I love it and it works so well for me with my knee and shoulder issues. And it’s *orange*!! I don’t want to trade it in because we’d lose so much on it.
I put together a PDF of the ~150 2019 wandering issues that have been reported to the NHTSA. It’s incredible that FCA can get away with not fixing these Jeeps.
