| Description of the problem | While driving approximately 40 mph through a double curve on a city street the steering locked up on my 2018 jeep wranlger. A steering error, check engine light, traction control and abs light all came on. The vehicle had to be towed back to the dealer. This is now the 3rd time the vehicle has been taken to the dealer (twice via tow). Each time, the scanner has given the same codes yet fca has returned the vehicle to me stated its fixed. The steering locking up could have resulted in an accident harming myself or another vehicle. |
