My JL has gone wonky over the last 3 weeks. Everything was fine and then bam, my needle speedometer is all over the place from 1mph high to 10mph high.
Every time I start driving, turn off the engine, get out and do my errands, and then restart it, it will climb 1 mph, every cycle.
It then randomly resets and starts all over again. I cannot trust it, and always have to use the digital readout.
Also when the speedometer is acting up it will read that I am traveling anywhere between 1-10 mph while in park.
My JL Rubicon was built at the end of March, delivered April 15, and purchased the 16th by me. I had 800 miles on it when it started and now have about 1050 miles on it today.
I am also experiencing the loose steering, but I think I have one of the worst cases. My wife wont touch the Jeep as she is scared of the steering, and she drives a huge vehicle (2017 Expedition) just fine. My steering is so bad that one of my cop friends told me he would have pulled me over as he thought i was drunk ans swaying within the lane.
My wheel is still clocked at 1130 even after an alignment.
I love it as it is a pretty nice vehicle, but these issues are making it pretty hard to live with.

On the JL it's just one bolt. 15mm . Turn it only a LITTLE bit and check it. DAMHIKT !!Adjust the sleeve on your DRAGLINK to center the steering wheel--
Two bolts, they were 15mm on my '08 JKUR, but you should have a full set of metric sockets anyway
Good luck

Today I noticed that my electronic Speedo is way off. SHowed that I was going 90mph when I was really travelling 60.Took it in, they called FCA did something to the computer flash or reboot and its all good now.
Only other issue is a biazzare clicking noise when your turning seems to be coming from the front end somewhere...
Not sure if you noticed, but your digital reading is in kilometers per hour.Today I noticed that my electronic Speedo is way off. SHowed that I was going 90mph when I was really travelling 60.
I took the below photo at a slower speed. My actual speed was ~25mph which matches the analog. WIll be making an appointment to take it in.... only 426miles on the odo.
