| Description of the problem | New 2018 jeep wrangler sahara jl experiencing instability with the steering. At speeds above 40mph the vehicles steering requires constant compensation to keep it tracking straight. It is very concerning on narrowere, older highways where a small adjustments makes a big difference. There are numerous complaints regarding this vehicles' steering and it needs to be addressed by the manufacturer. The jeep is going to the dealership this week and my expectations that the issue will be addressed is very low. |
