| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Steering feels loose when driving at any speed. Car wanders on the road and requires constant steering input to stay in the lane. Feels like i am driving an old toy go-cart, with a dead spot in the steering. There is so much play that the steering wheel can be turned ~10 degrees with no change. Researched that this is a chronic problem with 2018 and 2019 jeep wranglers. Jeep service states that the problem can be fixed with a new track bar, but the dealers are allowed to only order one part per week. My dealer stated that he cannot order the part for another 4 days! Since when can a manufacturer ration parts that are critical for vehicle safety?! |
