| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The jeep will not hold a line. It wanders or drifts thus causing constant movement of the steering wheel to maintain travel in desired direction. I. E. If traveling straight, the steering wheel requires constant input. The same applies in a smooth curve. Speed of vehicle seems to not be a factor. I took delivery on 6/12/2018 and noticed the issue same day. I scheduled an appointment with the dealer and delivered it to them on 8/01. A new steering box has been ordered but i have not retaken possession of the vehicle at this time.
