Description of the problem	The jeep wanders and drifts at highway speeds... Steering is bad!!! I get the wandering and the dead spot and floating feel when on long straight aways doing 50+ mph. It's a cause and effect because of the unresponsiveness of the steering, so you overcorrect causing you to go side to side in the lane. Thus making it almost impossible to keep it going straight and requiring you to drive with two hands on the wheel. My tires were at 44 psi. Aired them down to 38 psi. Did not help because the steering at higher speeds is just sloppy and unresponsive with a good 1 inch plus of play in the wheel. I also tried the rough country steering stabilizer. It did nothing to help the wandering. It was actually worse then stock. In fact i got a lot more bounce on the tires when i hit a bump or hole in the road, so i put the stock steering stabilizer back on. It seems that it takes the computer a few seconds too long to receive the input from the steering wheel. I'm no engineer or mechanic and i'm not too smart (lol) but i can tell you there is an issue with the software and steering box (gear). Like i said, i have had numerous jeeps and trucks and i have been a police officer for over 20 years, so have a ton of driving experience and i have never had any vehicle with this steering issue. This is a serious safety issue especially at higher speeds on major highways, where you feel it and deal with it most. Jeep and fca need to get there ass in gear and fix this issue asap before there is a fatality.
