| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Steering: vehicle wanders and steering is loose in efforts to correct direction. Angle of road surface such as crown sometimes results in unexpected direction change toward another lane and the slop in the steering itself makes it challenging to correct without over-correction. In traffic this results in intense effort to maintain position which results in increased physical and mental fatigue over relatively long drives. The steering seems inconsistent as it varies from minimally problematic to a white-knuckle driving experience. Have not been able to determine if this is due to road condition versus steering component. Dealer has performed the v41 steering damper recall which improved only excessive wheel shudder when driving over road imperfections and did nothing to improve the wandering/looseness. They also did adjust alignment which they said was off slightly. No notable improvement from that. I have advised dealer that the repair effort was not effective and i will now have to take the vehicle back in, but they tend to just provide the ? It? S a jeep - that? S the way they are? Line. The steering in the jeep is not typical and i see similar complaints in forums where a single thread has half a million views. Something is not right here. |
