I have NONE.
Good to hear . With the straight axle , Jeeps ought not have any steering issue . These JL steering issues we hear about must be caused by electronics , somehow .

Mine had slight play when i first got it... I wasn't used to it. But 3 weeks in, and I lowered my air pressure to 38psi (was at 43psi), it's so nice now. Rides smoothhh on nice pavement but i love how rigid it feels over bumps and uneven roads. I love the stiff suspension as I feel Jeeps should be this way; I don't want it to ride like a sedan. But ye, the issues I had in the beginning have worked themselves out.

Hi @JeepCares you will be interested in some data we've been collecting on the forums about the steering issues going on with our Wranglers.

Please see here for the (ongoing) survey results: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...AMpdgKt1oA5sT_aXI-hoYMCg4/edit#gid=1437013635

Many Jeep owners are experiencing issues in which they are not feeling very safe. I would ask that you please submit this data to Mr. Michael Manley (Chief Executive Officer of FCA) and Mr. Mario Holmes (Engineering Manager at FCA/Jeep Wrangler Program Manager) so that they have been notified of the current steering issues.

Currently 117 Jeep Wrangler owners have responded. We intend to keep this survey active. Thanks SO much for your help regarding this. :like:

Hi TaiMc,

We appreciate the hard work that you put into this googledoc to document the steering concerns that you are experiencing. At this time, I have forwarded this information internally. However, in order to provide additional assistance, we need VINs. I understand that many of you have sent your VIN, and we have had private message conversations regarding this topic. If you have yet to send us your VIN for a steering concern, please private message us. We do recommend taking your Jeep to the dealer so that they can properly assess this concern.

Jeep should pay you.
LOL! thank you, but it's All G.

Rather they should start educating their dealer's service departments about what needs to be done with these steering issues... that's what they should do.

BUMP - Everyone, please make sure that you contact JeepCares about your issue and provide your VIN. Darlene has specified that this is what her team needs. The survey is helpful, but VINs are needed!

I am a one hand steerer and found the driver inputs using this method may be the issue, I think the jeep may just be sensitive to these inputs vs other vehicle you may be used to. I put two hands on the wheel and I dont even think about it. It could also be I'm not having the issues others are too, and that is certainly possible.
