Hello Folks, just joined the forum to give my experience so far, I’m at day 6 of ownership and am a little concerned with my purchase.
I ordered in early June and was excited to hear that my build was complete in mid July. Living 45mins from Toledo I kept my fingers crossed for quick delivery, nope. I was told the Jeep was awaiting final inspection. Eventually arrived Aug 11th, purchased 13th. It had 30 miles on the odometer when it arrived to the dealer. The salesman had on a different occasion told me that many of the ecoDs get sent to a third party in Toledo for testing, not sure if mine was one of those or not.
I did a typical drive around the block before signing the paperwork. The next day I took it out on the highway and things got interesting, it was alarming how much constant steering input was needed to keep it in the lane. It handled worse than my 96 GC lifted with no swaybar !!
I had rented a JL several times over the past few years and never experienced anything like this in those JLs.
Its headed back to the dealer in a few days, hopefully this steering problem doesn't turn into a nightmare.
Thanks for all of your posts about ecoD
