It's become obvious to me that this issue will not be fixed by Jeep as long as people keep buying them.
Why did you buy one? Did you not notice the issue when you went on a test drive? I test drove 5 JLU's that were built between 5/18 and 9/18 and they all had this loose steering issue. I...
I have test driven 5 JLU's and they all had the wandering steering issue. When driving between 45-60 MPH these vehicles all "wandered." My experience was that holding the steering wheel steady did not keep the car in a straight line. It would wander slightly left or right depending on...
The last of the 5 JLU's that I drove had a build date of 9/18 and had just been delivered to the dealership. This one disappointed me the most as I was going to purchase it if it did not have the steering issue. The fact that the steering has not been modified at the factory indicates that...
I'm waiting for the loose wandering steering issue to be fixed at the factory. I've driven 5 new JLU's at 5 different dealerships and they all had loose play in the steering and wandered at speeds of 45-60 MPH. When this is fixed I will buy. It's disappointing that this issue has been going...
I have not purchased a JLU for one reason: the wandering loose steering issue. I have driven 5 new JLU"s at 5 different dealerships and all 5 had loose steering and "wandered" while being driven at speeds of 45-60 MPH. Once this issue is fixed at the factory, I will purchase one. The...
Many of you will not like reading this as I have not purchased a JLU Wrangler and most of you have. I started looking for a Forum after I drove 2 different JLU's at 2 different dealers and noticed the wandering steering on both vehicles. After reading and posting on this forum I drove 3 more...
I've test driven 5 JLU's and they all had the "loose" drifting wandering steering issue. When I drove the first one I barely noticed it and thought it was a minor normal thing for a Jeep. I changed my mind after driving 2 or 3 and decided that I would not buy one with this issue. I was all...
Your critique of my point on steering has some merit. I notice that the picture of your JL is a 2 door. Does your car wander left and right when you are driving in a straight line? Maybe the JL does not have the issue where all JLU's seem to?
I'm retired and spend more time than most on...
You take a test drive, mentioning your knowledge of the steering issue. You show the salesman how it wanders on the highway. You tell the salesman/sales manager that you will not buy one with this issue. These sales people ARE AWARE of this issue. They will try to minimize the issue and try...
I have now test driven 5 JLU's in two states and they all have the "loose" steering issue. I really like the JL and will eventually buy one. However, I am very hesitant to buy one right now because this issue has persisted for several months ( the build dates of the Wranglers I drove ranged...
This "loose" "wandering" steering issue is preventing me from buying a JLU. I was all set to buy one that was produced 4/18, but I was hesitant because it had this "loose" steering issue. Another dealer just got in a JLU with the exact options I wanted that was produced 9/18 and it had the...
I was going to buy a JLU off of the lot that was built 4/18. It has a steering issue so I was hesitant. Another dealer had one just delivered, not even serviced yet by dealer, that was built 9/18. I was going to buy it as it had exact options I wanted, but it had the steering issue. I was...
Seriously considering changing from a 2014 Boxster to a JLU. I owned a 2007 Boxster previously and the Boxster can definitely put a smile on your face. I like the speed and performance, but I really enjoy the openness feel of the top down. The JLU gives you that and more. The only issue...
I've noticed the steering issue on test drives of the 2018 Wrangler JLU. I did not think much of it at first but I now consider at a major issue because this forum has discussed it for months and when I mention it to the salesmen they claim ignorance. This issue and the fact that there seem to...
I'm new to the site and Wrangler. Seriously considering the nationally advertised Wrangler JL Unlimited 36 month 10,000 mile/year lease on a 2018 Wrangler JL Unlimited Sport MSRP of $34,940. I'm at $339/month, TTL plus $225 dealer fee to be paid up front, $395 disposition fee at lease end...
