 Description of the problemWandering vehicle, unstable steering correction required, loose steering requiring constant input from driver to maintain lane and vehicle stability. Chrysler opened a star case on 10/10/18 s1819000003 to tighten ball joints and related components specifically related to this issue for all jl owners and specifically called out jl adjustments are different from the jk wrangler. This service was performed on my vehicle 10/22/18 with no benefit, was also informed all bolts/torque adjustments were in spec upon inspection and test. Technicians then loosened and tightened bolts per star case specifications for the jl. Jeep had changed the psb specifications/adjustments mid (may) 2018 to alleviate jl steering lock up issues owners were experiencing and it resulted in the loose steering, lane wandering on vehicles manufactured after this date/change. My jlu rubicon was manufactured 7/27/18. I've been informed by the dealership and chrysler engineering that chrysler is aware of this issue and no resolution exists. The chrysler engineer also stated he "would rather have a vehicle with loose steering than one that locks up."
