| Description of the problem | While my wife was backing out of the driveway she attempted to turn the steering wheel to the right when she noticed the steering wheel was to hard for her to turn. A red light showing a picture of a steering wheel was displayed in the instrumental screen and the car seemed to be running fine. After the vehicle was pulled back i to the driveway it was shut off. The car was then restarted with no further steering issues. Jeep dealership was contacted and they advised they never heard of this happening and advised they would make a note of it and if happens again to bring it to the dealership. |
