| Description of the problem | Recently fca started a recall campaign (ua5) to inspect and repair the front track bar bracket welds but at the moment it is incomplete with no solution. This is pretty alarming to me since this can cause the vehicle to loose steering response. Now i am afraid to take long rides on the vehicle and i am scare to let my wife drive the vehicle. I talk to fca and they said it is still safe to drive, but after reading some of the experience of wrangler owners that had their track bar welds broken i don't think is safe. Also, i would like to know if a repair can be done on this kind of defects? And if the welds will be long lasting and not have a problem in the future. |
