 Description of the problemSteering issues - large dead spot in steering that makes it extremely dangerous to drive. My wife won't even drive the vehicle as it scares here at highway speeds. Around town the dead spot is smaller - still a work out to keep straight, but very dangerous at highway speeds. The truck wanders all over and you have to constantly correct. Cross winds are even worse as you have to cross the gap of the dead zone when the gust stops before controlling the steering. Took in to the dealer last week - they checked it all over, found nothing wrong underneath - told me that +/- half an inch dead spot is in spec. Problem is that on a rack in the shop, the dead spot is smaller (while a whole inch in play is still a lot and should be unacceptable for any car made in the last couple decades). On real world driving conditions, there is resistance from the road, so the dead spot is a little larger. Go faster, like the 75 and 80mph roads in texas, the dead spot is huge. At highway speeds it looks similar or worse than this video - https://www. Youtube. Com/watch? Time_continue=6&v=q8tfehcotjq&feature=emb_logo will be taking it to another dealer and another until resolved - not safe to drive on highway - and compared to our other jeep - the steering in that is tight and responsive - so this is an issue that can be resolved if jeep wants to resolve. Many other videos were posted, looks like many taken down now. Something isn't right in the steering box - too much slop - need engineering to put out a fix as service shops at dealers have no guidance to fix, and will just keep saying it's a jeep thing (but not all jeeps have this issue and not all gladiators have this issue, which means it can be fixed).

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
