| Description of the problem | Steering wheel has "dead spot" in the center allowing wheels to free steer a certain number of degrees before steering wheel engages and turns the wheels. This causes driver to over-correct to keep vehicle in the lane. Esp noticeable at speed over 45 mph drifting from one side of lane to other and when directions change rapidly like in an s curve. Also when turning corners steering wheel and wheels will not return to center. Returns as far as the dead spot then will not center without lots of driver input. *ln consumer stated short video jeep driving down highway of me moving my steering wheel side to side with the jeep not turning at all. This is worse with speed and i can take videos from all angles.*jb |
