| Description of the problem | I just purchased a new 2019 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon with a march 2019 build date. As of right now, the mileage is about 300 miles. It's a phenomenal vehicle, except for a problem with the steering that makes driving the vehicle unsafe. There is excessive play in the steering wheel to the point where it's difficult to keep the vehicle centered in the lane, particularly at highway speeds. The most concerning situation is when there is an oncoming car on a narrow roadway. The vehicle tends to wander back and forth, and when you correct it, it sometimes over-corrects. I have not yet raised this issue with the dealer, but will very soon. When i researched to see if the steering can be adjusted, i discovered numerous similar complaints from others about the exact same problem. There clearly is a problem with the steering on the wrangler jl's that jeep needs to address. |
