Count me in as a member of the unfortunate group of JL owners who have steering issues.
I had the track bar and steering damper replaced (per TSB & the V41 recall) in my 2019 JLUR, the vehicle has been aligned four times by the dealer, and while it drives better it still pulls severely to the right - especially at highway speeds.
I’ve tried adjusting the air in the tires, rotating tires, etc. I’ve owned multiple generations of Wranglers and none of them had steering issues like this JL.
The dealer now suggests I do a ride along with the shop foreman. Wish me luck!
FYI, To date on the NHTSA website there are 197 steering complaints for the 2019 JL, and 770 steering complaints for the 2018 JL. That’s 960 people who have taken the time to file a complaint. I’d venture that the true number of affected vehicles is much higher.
I just filed my complaint. It took me five minutes, and all I needed was my VIN and then followed the steps to describe the steering issue I’m experiencing.
