  1. Loose steering feels like it has play and drifts

    The problem is that all of these Jeep dealers no longer offer loaners, so I can’t really deal with having my car there for weeks at a time. No one wants to take you seriously at the dealer, and as a small business owner, I need my vehicle. The amount of red tape from Jeep corporate is...

    We’ We have already done this.
  3. Loose steering feels like it has play and drifts

    Checking in, had V41 recall done. Improved the wandering issue but brought back the wobble issue bad again. This will now be the second steering damper replaced. Previously had the steering gear and damper replaced before this attempt. I am beginning to just plan to pay the Jeep down enough to...
  4. Loose steering feels like it has play and drifts

    Hey all - checking back in after a few thousand miles. I had my Sahara's steering box and steering damper replaced around 3600 miles. I'm at about 5500 now and the steering is loose as all hell again. Without losing a few hours to catch up - it doesn't appear that anything monumental has...

  6. Loose steering feels like it has play and drifts

    Not sure. I will keep you posted on what Jeep says... but they just closed my damn case so it might be a day or two.
  7. Loose steering feels like it has play and drifts

    Update.... ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS have returned. Literally.. maybe... 100 miles of driving? It's like everything loosened back up. Ridiculous. I just closed the case with Jeep this AM via email, and was on the highway this afternoon and both the "pothole wobble" and steering are loose again...
  8. Loose steering feels like it has play and drifts

    Sunday update: I took the jeep in moderate traffic on a ~20 mile each way trip on the highway last night. I can say it is VERY improved. It still has some quirks, but they remind me of my JK more than anything. Wife even commented she noticed a difference from the passenger seat! Said " you're...
  9. Are LED headlights worth $900?

    Worlds better. The JK LED's were "ok"... they didn't have clean beam throw. These operate more like a designed solution from the start, not like the after-thought option designed for an aging model. I would say the JL's mimic more of the luxury /sport car type that i've had where the JK's were...
  10. Tight steering video

    Alright, don't critique my terrible video, but see if this is any help. I actually didn't have my hands on the wheel at all for a majority of the second half. Pre appology for shitty angle, multiple aspect ratios, etc. https://photos.app.goo.gl/NFfGs76HmwFqKjt57
  11. Loose steering feels like it has play and drifts

    Alright, I'm chiming back in with some good news. I have had the jeep on 3 highway stints as of this morning, and I can tell you there has been a massive improvement to the absolute SLOP I was dealing with. The steering parallels the feel of my JK Rubicon now - which is good. I actually...
  12. Loose steering feels like it has play and drifts

    Well good news, I think! Picked the jeep up from the dealer today and had a short highway driving stint to get back to the office and the steering seems very improved. Aimed a few potholes and didn't get the "wobble" I had previously. I am cautiously optimistic this may have resolved it, as the...
  13. Loose steering feels like it has play and drifts

    Just heard back from my dealer, looks like they're going to swap the steering box and damper out. Waiting on parts.. hopefully we see some improvement!
  14. Loose steering feels like it has play and drifts

    It seemed like a genuine concern that the dealer was taking a bit of own accord to do so, knowing that they have very unhappy customers. Worse scenario for people with lifts! Glad mine is still stock. Dealership is Landmark in NE Atlanta.
  15. Loose steering feels like it has play and drifts

    Well slightly hopeful on this dealership trip... service advisor said he had 15 customers himself all with the same issues. Tech said they'd look at getting the new damper in, new steering box, and potentially LCA's. TBD and let's see how long they have the vehicle, but glad they seemed to know...
  16. Major steering issue problem with JL Wrangler. Please watch

    I'm on dealership appointment #2. First was a TSB "flash" and it did nothing. The saga continues..
  17. Loose steering feels like it has play and drifts

    I literally came loaded with all the information.... sorry for trying to make your job easier!
  18. Loose steering feels like it has play and drifts

    Well, steering is still loose. I would say it felt marginally better on the highway this morning but with traffic was a small stint and no potholes to check the death wobble on. It's also one of the coldest mornings we've had here this morning so that could be a factor. First dealer trip of...
  19. Loose steering feels like it has play and drifts

    First trip to the dealer, will be picking up tonight. Told they "reset my vehicle electronic calibration and it seems to have resolved your complaints". Will report back in, not sure if anyone has heard this before and unable to confirm at this time if it did in fact improve anything...
  20. Loose steering feels like it has play and drifts

    Finally bit the bullet and made an appointment at my local jeep dealer. Will be going on the 14th for my first trip armed with all of the information in this thread + the death wobble thread. Wish me luck..
