 Description of the problemI own a 2018 jeep wrangler unlimited 4 door rubicon. Purchased it in may 2018. It has 3,682 miles on it. From the first day i purchased it and every day thereafter, the steering has been extremely loose to the point that you have to keep turning the wheel back and forth to keep the vehicle traveling in a straight line to remain in your driving lane. It feels as if you were driving an old style tractor and gives one the impression the vehicle will go off of the road or strike another vehicle next to you. The higher the rate of speed the more one has to steer back and forth to keep the vehicle moving in a straight line. I have taken the vehicle back to jeep twice to report the issue for repair and both times they have indicated that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. Thousands of other owners have made this complaint and chrysler jeep is replacing some of the drag bars or steering assist on some vehicles while other owners are getting their computer reset to correct a faulty factory setting which allegedly cause this problem. Is nhtsa going to get off of its ass and officially do something about this or do we have to start a class action to see results? Jeep knows its a problem. They know they are liable. I am an attorney who currently represents an 18 year old boy who totaled an exact same vehicle as mine when his steering locked up and he crashed head on into a telephone pole. Now jeep is sending their engineer to inspect the vehicle. How many people have to die or be injured before you act?
