| Description of the problem | After purchasing my jeep my wife and i noticed it was really hard to keep it between the lines. Constantly correcting the jeep to keep it straight. Took the jeep in to have the track bar replaced and also the steering damper replaced. Theses replacement parts did not fix the issue. There is also a dead spot with the steering wheel where you can turn it about an inch both directions without any movement from the wheels. After driving the jeep i am tired from recorrecting constantly. This is a dangerous issue. I have contacted jeep cares and my dealership for a third time. The dealership told me nothing was loose and it drives like the others. Frustrating! |
