As documented in the many steering threads on the JL Wrangler Forum and the NHTSA website, many of us are having steering problems on our 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL, JLU - Sport, Sahara and Rubicon with loose steering, dead spot in the steering wheel, drifting, excessive steering wheel corrections to keep it in lane, sometimes outside temperature related sometimes not, etc. etc. etc.
Many have posted videos showing the steering problems in the threads listed below. Some have had their JL completely replaced as a result of the steering problems, some have buy-backs as you will see in the threads. Dealerships have confirmed and documented the issue, but no fix yet. Some state it is a safety issue for them and others say it is a nuisance.
Sometimes tire pressure, tightening loose ball joints, steering box adjustments and/or the current Steering TSB fixes the problem, but most of the time it doesn’t. FCA has many open cases and is aware of the steering problem. Hopefully there is a TSB or Recall in the near future. What do you think will fix this ongoing steering problem? Please select your choice in the survey / poll. If you have another idea of what will fix it, select 'Other' and add your comment in this thread and I'll add it to the list of choices.
Note: If you are experiencing these Jeep Wrangler JL steering issues / steering problems too, please report it to @JeepCares, Jeep Wave at 844-533-7928 and to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2018/JEEP/WRANGLER/SUV/4WD%2520Later%2520Release#complaints
