| Description of the problem | New jeep wrangler jl has more play in the steering than any other vehicle i have driven in the past 20 years. At highway speeds there is over 1 inch of play before the vehicle begins to turn. As a result, one tends to overcorrect causing a change in direction which makes the car wander more than i believe to be safe. Started on day of delivery in may, 2018 and continues to this day. Apparently not all wranglers experience this, but some very clearly do. Problem exists at all speeds (in motion) especially aware of it going straight on highway. |
