Gentlemen, I wish you all the very best going forward addressing your steering related issues. Not at liberty to discuss any details or answer buy back questions, but safe to say our Jeep is no longer a member of the family. That being said, my dealership was excellent and so to was the third...
Happy to hear yours is issue free!!
And yes, those of us dealing with it are seemingly a small percentage of overall owners. However, for those of us who own one that is problematic, it's genuinely disappointing. And, the lack of solution from FCA is nothing short of abysmal. Driving a Jeep...
Well, I feel like an idiot. I had posted that a replaced steering box was the answer as it seemed to be...at first. Two weeks later, the drifting/wandering is back with a vengeance. I'm at a loss. I had a 2017 Wrangler rental for a week this past summer and enjoyed it immensely and can attest...
Long story short; horrid drifting and basically impossible to drive straight. Sea sick worthy. New steering box is the answer.
1st attempt: flashed, everything re-torqued. improvement but drifting remained and so too did sporadic "over corrections" that would result in almost running off the...
Return to center being after turning the steering wheel, it is very slow to straighten back out from a turn and when it does return it is still slightly off requiring more input. Or, you have to return it and then next thing you know its past center. For example, drive any other car you own, or...
While I would like to resolve the issues w/ new aftermarket track bars and a better stabilizer, this thing is brand new. I was planning on a 2.5 AEV kit and AEV wheels, but can't stomach spending money in an attempt to remedy a manufacturers defect, both on principle the chance it's $600 and...
Same stabilizer code here. So, in short, had excessive play in steering that resulted in a near miss. Dealer agreed an issue, re-checked, re-torqued components. Was much improved for a couple days, then returned w/ less play but would suddenly have a dead spot or play and then catch the steering...
Fortunately, my dealer acknowledged there was an issue and went to work. I have no idea what will occur on the second go round. All that being said, no way would I accept one that I knew had this issue, regardless of dealer. I've considered a 2019 and I really really would like the forthcoming...
Rubicon owner here. I'll keep it brief. Steering issues. Dealer made a laundry list of adjustments, including ball joints, at just 400 miles. Improved drastically, for 200 miles. Dead spot is back w/ a vengeance. I have had two near unintended off road excursions while going around curves at...
