| Description of the problem | I have a brand new 2019 jeep jl 4 door wrangler sport, has less than 1000 miles and notice the problem right after purchase driving home 2 homes from dealership. At first i thought it was just me after driving a dodge ram pickup for the last 10 years and figured it was a big difference in the steering. Took our first 4 hour trip and notice that the jeep was pulling to right and that there was a lot of play (2-4 inches) in the steering, that by the time i got done my driving i was exhausted. Took the jeep into local jeep dealership service to have checked. They determined that alignment was out of specs and fixed. Took another 4 hour trip last weekend and the steering was worst. To keep jeep driving in a straight line i had to keep steering wheel turned to left slightly. Whenever i tried to straighten steering wheel the jeep would drift to right again and steering had just as much or more play in it as before. Just took it back into service and they said they couldn't duplicate the problem and that it was probably just the "crown in the road" that was causing the problem. I came home and researched my problem and found this website where i see i'm not the only one with the problem. This seems to be a known issue that needs to be addressed and recalled to fix properly or there will be crashes and i pray to god no fatalities. |
