 Description of the problemThe jeep is uncontrollable at high speeds and the steering is highly flawed. We were not told when we picked up the vehicle two weeks ago that there was a problem with the steering. There is excessive play in the wheel so there is about 10 degrees of turn where the steering is not affected. The vehicle basically bounces back and forth in the lane and it is hard to control. The faster, the more difficult to control. When our son was trying to merge onto a highway he said it became uncontrollable and he the jeep started oscillating back and forth until he lost control. The jeep spun out and luckily no one was hurt. The vehicle cannot drive in a straight line, takes excessive input to control, and is unsafe for low time drivers. We have taken the jeep back four times and the dealership now has possession of the vehicle with no fix available. They have not admitted nor denied there is a safety problem other than saying they are working with fca reps to find a solution. This vehicle should not be on us highways. This is an unsafe vehicle and there is significant risk to life and property. These vehicles are being delivered with a flawed steering system that has excessive play which invites loss of control at high speeds. Please immediately take these vehicles off the road. Jeep should not be allowed to sell them as they are totally unsafe. The jeep jl wrangler (2018) is unsafe!
