| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Vehicles steering gets a flighty/wandering feeling as speed increases 40+ mph, especially on secondary roads. When driving around curves or over any abnormality in the road the jeep will wander out of its lane and then the play in the steering makes it difficult to get it back in a controlled manner. The constant wandering requires constant input from the operator to keep the vehicle centered. Jeep knows that there is an issue with the steering boxes in the 2018-2010 jl' and jt's, and has issued a tsb in reference to this, but getting them to replace the steering box is a huge hassle as it seems most dealerships are debunking this tsb. |
