Description of the problem	The morning of feb 6, 2020, i was driving my 2018 jl (approx 16k mileage) on the highway at ~65 mph when the steering all of a sudden locked up going into a right bend in the highway. Suddenly i was unable to turn the vehicle to the right to stay in the middle lane and ended halfway in the left fast lane headed straight for the concrete highway median barriers. Thank goodness there were no cars on the highway next to me in the left lane that the unresponsive steering forced me into. After i slowed down, the steering went back to normal and i was able to get over to the right hand lane without incident and exit the highway. I have not felt comfortable driving on the highway or having my kids in the jeep since. The steering lockup on the highway was frightening; i feel very lucky to have escaped what looked like an imminent high speed highway accident with my own vehicle and possibly other cars nearby. Separately, my husband and i have both experienced rapid steering oscillation at highway speeds, a jarring full vehicle wobble when going over a bump or crack in the highway. The local dealer where we bought the jeep had already replaced the steering damper due to an earlier recall; the highspeed steering lockup and oscillation issues have occurred since. I'm now working with a second local dealer who hasn't yet been able to isolate or diagnose the steering problems. As next step, the technician is suggesting i take the jeep back out on the highway with him to try to recreate the steering binding/lockup issues

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
