| Description of the problem | At 11,500 miles my 2018 jl has a lot of play in the steering wheel where it feels i drift a lot and have to make multiple correcting to stay in the center of the lane. Also while driving at highway speeds and hitting a bump, the steering wheel shakes for up to 15 seconds long. It appears to be called the "death wobble." this is my wife's vehicle and she does not want to drive it anymore as it is unsafe. The issue is easy to recreate. |
