My jeep goes in Aug 25 for steering gear replacement. Two years of filling out FCA surveys on customer satisfaction I finally received a call from jeep engineer in Detroit a week ago Friday. Let me assure you there is something wrong with your jeep steering the engineer said so. He has driven...
Steering issues: Can't give you all details but I can tell you fill out surveys from FCA with your steering complaints. Help is on the way. Fill out a dozen times if that's what takes. Hopefully getting my jeep fixed after two years. Good luck.
Dealers also have to watch out for how many warranty claims they have. They have set amount their allowed. If they go over, corporate comes down on them hard. Leading to everything they do warranty to be approved ahead of repair or its out of the dealers pocket. Could be why some dealers are so...
In time we will see someone figure it out. For now we shall just keep replacing part by part and trying different combination of fixes to achieve goal. Like others have said its just to bad we have to fix out of our own wallet, when it should be warranty work.
Well its been two years plus still no one solution for the jeep JL's or JT'S with steering issues from FCA. I have been watching this thread since October 2018 and noticed lately a drop in responses from Jeep Cares to offer help. It also seems that from some of the comments lately that dealers...
FCA has no intention of having a recall. As stated before in these threads it would be to expensive to replace gear boxes. They have gone down the path of individual lawsuits and found it cheaper. As long as Jeep sales are great, no cause for concern. It is true that out of the number of JL's...
First check tire pressure, bring it down to 32 to 34 psi. Put Mopar 2'' lift lower control arms on. Have alignment done to bring toe in to max setting. See if you can them to put updated track bar on and latest stabilizer shock on. There are some who said some of new Rubicons may already have...
I also replaced LCA's on my stock Rubicon made it better but not perfect. Dealer did alignment under warranty brought toe-in to max. All I can say is steering is tolerable. Checked part numbers at dealer for new track bar they said they were back ordered so no sense to bring for service. Drag...
Dropping pressure will help a lot to bad you drove all the way to Keys like that. Tire pressure might have got as high a 45 pounds or above. If you have read any of this thread when you go to dealer have them re torque ball joints. Also toe in on alignment. Drive it then if still not right you...
Sad to hear Dusty Camaro about new steering box. Glad to hear the success Paul Hess had with his. This all leads to one question "What is the real solution?" On Sunday installed Falcon 2.2. I really was hoping that with the Mopar 2' LCA's, wheel alignment, 1/8 turn on gear box and tightened...
When putting final torque, the bushings will be in a neutral position when jeep is on the ground. If you torque with jeep lifted you will be over stressing bushing when jeep is landed thus leading to possible suspension squeaks and premature bushing failure. When fully torqued in the air you...
Try going back a sixteenth and find happy medium between city and highway speeds. There are so many variables at work here, software, calibrations, tolerance and possibly gear box fluid temp issues. Beyond frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!:angry:
