| Description of the problem | Bought my jeep january 2018, right after purchase i noticed there was a lot of play in the steering wheel. Also while driving the traction control light would come on and activate. Causing me to not be able to stop or causing my speed to slow dramatically. Took my jeep to the dealer today to have it checked out and oil changed. Turns out my vehicle has to have the box and steering arm replaced which is a $1400 fix! Was told at the dealer that it was not safe to drive. While looking online to see if there was a recall on my vehicle i came across some reviews with all the same problems. Seems i was the lucky one and wasn't in an accident like most of the others. |
