 Description of the problemDriving at highway speeds the vehicles steering is dangerous and it becomes more pronounced in the wind and in the rain. It drifts dangerously and when trying to correct the drift the steering is not very responsive since it has way too much play so you begin to over correct causing even more issues. In the rain the vehicle has the feel as if it's hydroplaning and the impact from the wets roads and puddles causes the vehicle to drift even more. I found that many people have received replacements of the 1. Steering box (68259507ae) 2. The damper (recall 77072360) 3. Track bar (68394087aa) all of these parts have been upgraded by mopar and i'm guessing that was for obvious reasons but my dealership and customer service at jeep/chrysler refuse to acknowledge there is a problem yet the problem persists. I showed them proof in both videos and with the upgraded parts and it does not seem to matter to them that this is a dangerous situation. I will provide a link of a person who got these issues repaired this individual has the same make model and year jeep i have. Https://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=asz1wujbjby . I do not feel comfortable driving this vehicle it feels dangerous to me ... My wife will not drive it at all and she was the one who wanted the vehicle since we bought it for her. This has been going on since we bought the vehicle. I have done the research and 1,000's of people are complaining about this, some have a dangerous wobble, some have really bad drift where its hard to keep the vehicle on the road at highway speeds, and some have both. Funny, i was told by my dealership that this was normal for a jeep and its not acceptable i told him it felt dangerous and he agreed it drifts but says that normal for a jeep. It gets so bad at times in the rain i have to get in the right lane and drive 30 miles per hour in a 70 mile per hour zone . The jeep has only 5k miles
