| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Brand new jeep wrangler unlimited sport jl exhibits poor handling/steering on highways. Vehicle "wonders" all over the lane. It requires constant steering wheel input to maintain a straight line. I test drove 3 separate models and all of them exhibited this behavior. I reported mine to jeep and was told "there are no issues or fixes reported at this time." i've owned several jeeps in the past, none of which wondered all over the road like this. I believe there is an issue with these new jl models that needs investigation. |
