| Description of the problem | Wrangler steering is loose and vehicle wanders within a lane, often crossing lanes if not perfectly controlled. Hands move two to five inches while you try to keep a straight center path with the vehicle. Any movement, say turn up the radio sound via the knob, often results in the vehicle swerving into another lane. Difficulty is more noticeable when driving on the highway at highway speeds. This started to happen immediately after receiving vehicle from dealer. Vehicle was taken back to dealer and service department stated all specs were correct and vehicle is operating as it should. Dealer stated that fca changed the steering of the vehicle to better handle off road driving and that the wandering during normal driving was normal. I feel the vehicle is unsafe if the utmost concentration to keep the jeep strait is not followed. At 60 years old i am not concerned for myself as much as the younger teenagers and adults that easily get distracted etc. |
