My dealer was finally able to recreate the problem. My issue only happened in below freezing temps. They ended up replacing the steering box and so far I haven’t had any issues since.
A lot of us JL owners are having this problem and Jeep can’t seem to figure out a real fix. They either can’t duplicate the issue and send you away or try random things and you may get lucky. There are several other posts out here concerning this. One person had really good advice about...
I didn’t think I had play in my steering since this issue started, but the longer this goes on I feel like it has more play after it warms up and the binding has ceased.
Good Luck! I have had mine in 3 times now and of course it never does it for them. I actually bought another car so I had a reliable vehicle to drive. Jeep could be testing this. All they have to do is let the jeeps sit out in the cold temps for a couple of days and then drive them. Do we...
Mine feels tight overall when it is cold but my problems have mostly occurred to the right. I’m not sure it matter where it occurs, I think there is just something messed up with the steering overall and it doesn’t seem to be getting the attention it needs.
I’m going to schedule an appointment with my dealership and leave my Jeep there overnight and tell them they need to take it for a test drive first thing in the morning. With the temps dropping into the 40’s here at night it acts up every morning now so the temperature definitely plays a role...
I drove mine the other morning and it was in the low 40’s outside and the steering was really tight until it warmed up, but it was still very bad to the right. Sure hope they figure something out for this soon as my dealership can’t fix it unless you tell them exactly what needs to be fixed!
All I know is I have had my Jeep for one year now and it has been in the shop twice for the death wobble before it was finally fixed and now I’m having a go at this steering lock up issue that they can’t seem to figure out. I’m too scared to drive it on the highway
Steering locked up when going around a curve. It was sticking to the right and I had to yank the steering wheel back to the left for it come undone. I drove straight to the dealership because there was no way I was driving on the Hwy after that. Has anyone else experienced their steering locking...
I personally wouldn’t get it myself either but it’s nice to see that stuff is starting to surface. I hope we see more so we can get some cool mods without having to go to a lot of extra time. Thx for posting
I like but it seems like it might be more hyper green than closer to Mojito. I’m ready to Mod with a bunch of Mojito colored stuff. Bring it on! I hope because of the rumor that the color is being discontinued it doesn’t keep Mojito colored accessories from coming out.
As soon as a Mojito gets on the Jeep lot here in my town it is gone within a few days. They can’t sell them fast enough. Can’t imagine them discontinuing them, but then again I kind of like the idea of having the coolest rig in town!
