Description of the problem	I have posted in another thread about the steering issue, but i wanted to update you all as well. I picked up my new jlu rubicon over a month ago and after limited driving (200 miles), it sits in the driveway. The dealer tightened up the steering box, but that was not the fix. It is simply dangerous to drive at speed on the highway. What exactly happens is when you try to make a small steering input, nothing happens. So you add a little more input and it over corrects leading you to try to correct in the other direction which makes it overcorrect in the other direction. Now you have to fight it to keep it in its lane, its like driving on a snow covered road. So yesterday i asked the service manager to call his jeep rep and this is his reply: "yes it is steering gear, steering chuck. There is no sense replacing with the same one they have that they are using on the assembly line. They need to have a updated one first, or we are not accomplishing anything at all. I am on it with the t/a for chrysler....... Waiting on his response. Chrysler is very aware of the concern now." so jeep is aware and swapping out the steering box seems like it's not the fix. I'm not real happy that they are not publicizing this to new jlu owner. I don't know what a steering chuck is, but evidently it needs to be updated. This is an ongoing problem which started right when i took delivery and continues to today. I have since dropped the jeep of at the dealer and will not pick it back up until the problem is solved.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
