| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | It is a largely know problem with steering box and components on 07' and newer jeep wranglers(jk wranglers both 2dr and 4dr) to have mass amounts of "play" in steering. This is mostly related to lack of quality parts in the steering box. Sector shaft, draglink, tierod ends, and ball joints from the manufacturer. After talking to the dealer in my area i have found as many times as there have been an issue, there is no word or concern from chrysler about a solution to fix the problem. The looseness of the steering at speed poses a great threat to vehicle occupants and surrounding drivers safety. This needs to be addressed asap. |
