| Description of the problem | Owinng jeep wranglers for years, i am accustomed to loose steering. However, the one i just purchased and have less 1000 miles on,has a steering issue that requires constant correction, especially at speeds in excess of 55 mph and expecially around curves, is excessive and unsafe. It is much more noticable that previous models and extremely unsafe. There is a bulletin, released by jeep acknowleding the problem, but apparently mine doesn't make the dates (mine was made a month after the bulletin expired). It has been to a dealership for recalibration and/or reprogramming (as the tech bulletin states should be done) but was told nothing was wrong and it is within specs. Other owners of this model are having the same issue and nothing is being done about it. I have driven different friend's jeeps, same year and model, and most have this issue. Only one that i have driven did not have it. Fca (fiat chrysler) need to address this issue as soon as possible. |
