 Description of the problemVehicle delays when starting at times. Not always. Turn the key and wait about 2 seconds then it will crank. Radio goes blank at times. After powering vehicle off and on it comes back on. Biggest concern is the steering and the hood. Hood has come up enough twice to break the black straps that hold it down. After the 1st time i replaced with jeep supplied replacement parts but it still happened again. Local dealer where i went to get parts claims it's a regular problem and jeep owners need to just deal with it. When driving above 55mph feels like the jeep is going to just come apart. Gets very loose and i slow back to under 55. Took it to my local dealer, not where i bought it and they claim everything looks normal. Something is wrong, i brought it to another dealer, a toyota dealer, they placed it on the rack and claim there is too much play within the steering. They did not make any corrections as the recommend jeep fix it under warranty. Went back to jeep dealer and they inspected and claim all is fine. Truth is it is not fine, it is a major safety concern. I have driven many jeeps and none drove like this one. I reached out to a jeep forum and it turns out this is a major problem a lot of people mentioned but have not been able to get jeep to correct. Most people claim they had to pay for out of pocket to get a better sway bar. Most say they still have factory wheels and suspension, no added lifts.
