My vehicle is stock other than the teraflex steering stabilizer. This is not an isolated incident. Theres other people with the same issues and they have not changed the SS.

It can totally be the steering stabilizer. If your stabilizer was stuck (not extending due to oil at low temp or whatever), meaning the stabilizer is essentially preventing your steering.
Sorry but you are completely wrong. If the stabilizer was stuck, it would happen at all speeds.

There’s only one I’m aware of. Look through this thread. The TSB # is in here.

Has there been any progress finding out what is wrong? I am having the same issue. The dealer can not reproduce it so they will not do anything about it. They applied the software update but that did not help.

File a safety report with NHTSA.

This is a very serious safety issue and FCA should not get a pass simply because the dealer can’t duplicate, especially with the many documented cases already known.

Well this morning on my way to work (NJ to NY) about a fifteen mile trip my jeeps steering was locking up the entire way. Very dangerous as it locks then loosens up then locks again. I had brought it in already for this issue and it still continues to do it. They better come up with a fix

Same here. First fix was to change the steering pump, that helped to the point where it doesnt lock up as strong (i can muscle thru it now) but its still there. Bringing it in for round 2 this weekend.

2018 JLU Sport
This just happened earlier today while on a road trip. I have a stock sport jlu.
-Temps where about 19 degrees outside
-I was going 80mph and had a few miles of crosswinds
-I had constant pressure on the wheel to stay straight..and the wheel kept going what felt like limp on me, causing the jeep to jerk.
-Then the wheel locked up and wouldnt allow me to pull off the road to see what was the issue.
-I have 15,000 miles on the jeep.

Any feedback in what I can tell the dealership next week??

Mine has had the TSB applied and still does it as well. I've addressed it with the dealer but they have already applied the TSB and it doesn't help. Mine drives perfectly when the weather is warm. I figure if I get into any kind of accident it will be because of this and I'll sue the living shit out of Jeep.

Same here, mine happens when its cold. I have my ram in for service and have a renegade as a loaner car and it drives flawlessly. I've been driving the renegade the entire week vs my wrangler as Im nervous about the steering stiffening up!!! The dealership applied the tsb but I still have the issue, crazy on a $40,000 + vehicle

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but mind did it this morning at 50 MPH in a curve. I had to come to a stop before it released, and then it locked up again about a 1/4 mile up the road. Scary stuff!!
