 Description of the problemJust purchased a new jeep wrangler jl rubicon and it has major steering issues. Almost impossible to keep the car in a straight line due to excessive play in the steering. On a windy day it actually dangerous and on one occasion i almost hit a guardrail on the interstate. The wandering is most noticeable on the interstate. This is not caused by any specific road surface. I wanted to document this just in case something happens to me or my vehicle. There are thousands of other wrangler owners 2018 jl model that are having the same issue. I only have 2500 miles but another issue that i haven't yet experienced in my jeep yet but there is a dangerous shimmy when hitting bridge over passes, expansion joint in the road when your going 55-65 mph. Would be nice if govt could step in and accelerate the fix and make fiat chrysler fix these jeeps before someone is killed driving their jeep.
