| Description of the problem | Loose steering, lots of play, wandering all over the road. Took the jeep back one week after i bought her, dealer looked at her, acknowledged it was dangerous and forced me into a loaner because of the danger and wouldn't let me take teh jeep home. Eventually changed the power steering box. I picked it up and it still had excessive play in the steering wheel and was wandering all over the road and needed constant correction. Called dealer they claimed it was driven by the shop foreman and was now as intended. When stationary you can see the excessive play in the steering wheel. When in motion, especially on highways the excessive play becomes seriously dangerous when the vehicle wanders because you have to make sharp adjustments fast with a non responsive steering wheel. |
