Also, you will want to make sure you drive the vehicle when it is above 65 degrees F. outside. My JLU Sahara has lots of play in the steering when it's warm (about 3/4" left or right of center with no response from the wheels) but when the temperature outside gets down below 35 degrees F it is...

in the PDF for STAR #S1819000003 there is a reference to "STEERING SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS CHARTS" I didn't find a Jeep specific manual but TRW does have a manual on how to diagnose steering issues. It would be nice if Jeep Dealers were to actually follow the diagnosis procedures specified in the TRW...

I also filed a complaint a couple months ago. check the site for info - https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2018/JEEP/WRANGLER/SUV/4WD%252520Later%252520Release it shows 940 complaints with 723 being steering related - that's 76.9% of all reported problems are steering related. In reviewing the...

Yes, my wife said the same thing - every time she drove (before the dealer updated the alignment) it she thinks she's going to get pulled over for drunk driving. I'd recommend the alignment be changed to the latest specifications from Jeep. That will help the wandering. I still have play in...

I had my JL in for the 7th time to get Jeep to fix the play and was told that since they have replaced the track bar and steering stabilizer and did an alignment to the new specs it was as good as they could get it. I do have to say the track bar reduced the play in the steering by about 1/2...

Good response - my 2018 JL has the problem and does not drive any where near as good as my frame-on-body 2000 Ford F150 with 162k miles with the original steering stablizer, tie rods, etc. This problem is not "a Jeep thing" but a real problem that affect many Jeep JL and JT vehicles. I've been...

Yep - I reported mine earlier this week. Took just a few minutes. If you are having steering issues especially the play/wander problem please file a report with NHTSA

Thanks! That's actually a good suggestion. My thoughts today are to take matters into my own hands to fix the problem - new Steer Smart or similar track bar with poly bushings, steering box, any maybe drag link - not sure if that will help or not. I've worked on cars forever so I likely can...

I'm getting the same BS. Mine's been in 6 times and they've replaced everything but the steering box. The trackbar and new alignment specs helped the most but it still has about 1" of dead play in the steering wheel. I've asked repeated about the steering box and the dealer won't touch it...

I took mine in yesterday as it still has a dead spot / play in the steering wheel. The V41 recall, new trackbar, and alignment have improved the steering but it's still got 1" of completely unconnected movement in the steering wheel. The dealer told me they drove another Jeep on the lot to...

Jeep needs to buyback your JL period. Why should you have to take a loss due to them selling a defective product. I'm in a similar mindset too. If I could sell mine back I would. I've wanted a Jeep for years and finally bought one only to get one that you can't even relax when driving. The V41...

Does the "latest on all parts" include a new track bar? I had my track bar replaced 3 weeks ago and while I didn't think it would help it did make a significant difference in wander. I have not had the steering box replaced so I still have the dead spot / play in the steering wheel. So I'm...
