Ever since I drove my Jeep JL off of the dealer lot I had a problem with the steering feeling loose.
I've read countless post on this forum relating to the same issue and countless videos on youtube as well.
My master mechanic at my dealer and JeepCares states that my problem is due to the fact that I installed aftermarket wheels and tires.
Note: I installed the same size tire that comes on production Rubicon models.
The mechanic states that the wandering and the Jeep Wandering all over the road at heavy braking is due to my aftermarket tires and wheels.
What do you all have to say about that? I'm curious as to your opinions.
I also advised them and brought a copy of Service Bulletin S1819000003 with me and have messaged JeepCares about the problem with the Case Number included.
They are refusing to acknowledge the problem!
Other issues with my JL:
1) Frequently lose power to my radio
2) Starter drive skipping on flexplate
3) Detonation at low RPM's (fixed that by using 93 octane)
4) Transmission makes a loud clanking noise moving from Park to Reverse/Drive (under low RPM's...Idle/500RPM)
*** The rear axle has been popping. After careful research, many Jeep owners like myself have found out that the bearings/associated parts in rear axle are failing ***
After four days at the dealer and the mechanic telling me there was nothing wrong with my Jeep, I took a test drive with him and sure enough the rear axle was popping/clunking consistently.
I called and emailed JeepCare yesterday. No return calls from dealer or JeepCares. Today I had to drive to the dealer and saw my Jeep parked in the parking lot. I approached the Service Agent handling my vehicle and he advised me that they ordered new bearings for the rear axle. I was on the phone with JeepCares at that time and the Service Agent refused to speak with him (JeepCare Rep) or myself and walked away.
