I live in Golden and just saw this Jeep for sale at Autonation - is this your old Jeep that had the steering issue?? Thanks! Rick
Yes, I drove it about 3 miles at up to 45 MPH. It wandered a bit, but as soon as it's up to about 50 MPH+, it's much much worse. I live an hour and a half from where I bought. I just sent the dealer an email and will read up on how to get this fixed. I guess I should have seriously considered the Grand Cherokee I also test drove.
That does sound like the same issue as described here. There’s another thread about “steering is loose and drifts.” Lowering tire pressure is said to help.
A good dealership will give you another Jeep on the lot as a loaner. They're making you a promise that someone else will do something.
Not only am I driving it but having a mechanic evaluate it. Looking for signs of repairs due to damage. Yes. New vehicles get into accidents prior to delivery. Dealers do repairs and don’t tell you. Check for undercarriage rust. I bough a new car that had that. Why now I check them thoroughly. Check for bad welds. Check everything before signing on the dotted line. Check everything before taking delivery. Once you go it’s a battle to correct anything. Including this steering issue which likely can’t be evaluated before you sign and go so might as well eliminate the low hanging fruit and keeps those fingers crossed driving 55 on hot days.
