Description of the problem	While driving our 2018 wrangler jl in 20-30 degree temperature the steering assist locked up, causing my wife to drive the vehicle off of the road while in a slow sweeping curve. After a second or two the steering re-engaged as she was trying to steer back onto the road and she suddenly veered back onto the road. A few seconds later it happened again. Fortunately nothing was struck and no one was injured. After the vehicle continued to warm up the lockup did not occur again. This was 3 weeks ago. Two days ago, while starting out driving in mid 30 degree temperatures the steering again locked up for about a second before reengaging. All instances occurred after the jeep was sitting outside in the cold and started for the first time that day. Both events occurred within the first 4-5 minutes of driving at speeds in the 45-50mph range while making turns to the wheel. The big danger here is that if the vehicle is in a turn and the steering goes out, the driver could try and turn hard on the steering wheel to regain control and if the steering assist kicks back in, an oversteer situation could occur causing the vehicle to roll over or cross over into oncoming traffic. Fca has already issued a tsb for the possible problem (08-092-18) which i will now contact my local dealer to see if they will investigate.
