Description of the problem	Soon after purchasing my 2018 jl wrangler in april i began experiencing steering issues. When veering left or right to change lanes, take a curve, etc. The steering wheel would 'lock' up and i'd need both hands to pull it back to keep the jeep in my lane. It only lasts for a few seconds. I had received notification that it was time for my first maintenance appointment after purchasing the jeep, so i called to schedule that and also told them about the steering issue. One day prior to the appointment, my dashboard alert notified me to "service the electronic stability control". Since i already had the appointment, i knew this could be addressed at that time. Then a few days later i received the safety recall u48 for steering intermediate shaft. I called the dealership and let them know that i had received the recall notice and that i already had an appointment scheduled. I took the jeep in for the appointment and the problem appeared to be fixed at first. Then it happened again about a month later and then again just this past week. It's a scary situation. This last occurrence i was taking a curve in the road with traffic coming the other direction. The steering wheel 'locked up' and i had to forcefully use both hands to pull it back into the lane.
