| Description of the problem | I never liked how this jeep drove from day 1, as always felt something in the front end was loose and the ride was wobbly at virtually all speeds. After the first oil change and tire rotation the problem seemed worse. Brought it back and 1 front tire was slightly off balance, so was rebalanced and off we went. Problem naturally hasn't gone away. Annoying and of concern that i finally brought it back to make an appointment to have it looked at when the service advisor said "oh there is a recall on your jeep for the steering stabilizer... I have not ever received any mail from jeep to this regard.. However they will be replacing it this weekend. With this new information, i now search this site and see hundreds of other complaints about steering issues i have been experiencing, and need to register a complaint.... As i too have felt the vehicle feels unsafe to drive and could potentially be a problem. Seems to me that there smoke under these jeeps and the build of them, and just a matter of time before people will suffer significant injury to themselves or others if this issue isn't fixed and bad vehicles are bought back by fca. I begin my journey with jeep saturday, and after reading all the issues here have little faith that this fix is really the source of my problem but a bandaid on a much larger issue for owners like myself. 50k for a vehicle one would think should buy one a sense of confidence. In my case, there is zero at this point, but unless im parking the vehicle and eating my $500 mo payment what choice do i have but to drive it and just pray nothing happens? I will update this post as need be as we move forward with jeeps "fix" i will make sure to have them inspect the welds on my frame as well, with a build date of july 2018 and frame #186, mine is just a few outside of the range of ones with know problems. |
