Description of the problem	Purchased my 2018 billet silver, 4-door wrangler rubicon jl on july, 2 2018. Build date is 2/2018 for the vehicle. I noticed the excessive need to overcorrect the steering wheel when i drove it home from the dealership. I test drove it earlier in the day on a 4 lane, split highway and it was almost entirely a straight highway drive, so i didn't notice it much on the very short test drive as i did driving the jeep home later in the evening on a much more narrow, two lane country road. The issue is exactly like many who have descried the issue in the jl wrangler forums online (over 570 posts as of this complaint filing) who've described the wheel being unresponsive with lots of left/right micro correcting to stay in center lane. While driving straight and on even pavement i can move the steering wheel approximately 5-7 degrees and the wheels and direction is unresponsive. There was a time or two driving home when i would come out of a slight dip or bump in the road and the jeep would come out of the dip, start tracking towards an oncoming car or center lane, and correcting the wheel back to the right and away from oncoming traffic really took a lot of effort. Tire pressure is to spec at 37psi in all four tires. This vehicle has a dangerous "bobble" or sway and driving at faster posted speeds, especially on more narrow roads is quite dangerous. The amount of force to correct to stay in center lane is unlike any vehicle in my almost 30 years of driving.
