| Description of the problem | Since ownership of the 2018 jeep wrangler jl it has had a steering problem and it will wander and you will have to constantly death grip the wheel at all times with both hands. Bump can and will jerk the car which can throw it into another lane thus damaging vehicles or seriously hurting me/others and may cause death. I have contacted fca about this matter, they have issued a recall to fix this problem. The jeep has been lifted per a mopar (manufacturer) lift 2. 5" with 35" tires which are by no means over sized. Fca stated in a phone call with me that they want to see it when stock tires, then they could help, how would having 31" (stock) tires be safe that is a rollover waiting to happen. This steering is most notable around 50+mph and can be scary to drive on the highway/interstate as some lanes are narrow. |
