THE STEERING IS LOOSE. YOU CONSTANTLY HAVE TO CORRECT TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT TO KEEP THE JEEP TRACKING IN THE LANE OF TRAVEL. THERE IS ALSO A "DEAD SPOT" ABOUT 1/4 TO 1/2 TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT WHERE IF YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THERE IS NO MOVEMENT FROM THE FRONT WHEELS. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS.
Steering, Aug 20, 2018
STEERING VERY LOOSE AND WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD. YOU NEED TO CONSTANTLY MAKE CORRECTIONS WHILE STEERING. SEEMS LIKE THE JEEP WANTS TO WANDER AND IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL. IVE ONLY HAD THE JEEP FOR A WEEK.
Steering, Aug 19, 2018
THERE IS A DEAD SPOT IN THE STEERING. YOU MUST MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL 1/2"-1" TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT BEFORE IT WILL ACTIVATE BASED OFF OF THE STEERING INPUT. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS PART OF THE TYPICAL JEEP SETUP UNTIL I READ MANY OTHER OWNERS IN THE JEEP JLU FORUM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. I'VE CALLED (3) DIFFERENT DEALERS WHO INDICATED THAT THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THE ISSUE. I'VE PROVIDED A LINK TO A FACEBOOK VIDEO FROM ONE OF THE FORUM MEMBERS SO THAT YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH PLAY IS IN THE STEERING INPUT AT 70 MPH. I WAS DRIVING IN A SEVERE RAINSTORM RECENTLY AND BEGAN TO HYDRO-PLANE AND DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I HAD THE PROPER AMOUNT OF INPUT TO STEERING THAT WOULD ALLOW ME TO RECOVER WITHOUT JERKING THE WHEEL. THIS AMOUNT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO CORRECTLY ADJUST IF AN IMMEDIATE INPUT IS NEEDED WITHOUT OVER CORRECTING. HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/JEEPWRANGLERJL/PERMALINK/1014060645441660/ THIS HAS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THE DAY I TOOL DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE. I CURRENTLY HAVE APPROX. 2480 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.
Steering, Aug 18, 2018
LOOSE STEERING AND DRIFT WHILE DRIVING. UNABLE TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE WITHOUT CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTION. VERY NOTICEABLE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AS THE VEHICLE WILL WANT TO DRIVE LEFT OR RIGHT IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU STOP CORRECTING STEERING. STARTED AT 19 MILES TOTAL ON THE VEHICLE. AS SOON AS I PURCHASED IT AND GOT ON THE FREEWAY IT FELT LIKE DRIVING ON ICE. FLAT OUT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, RIGHT FROM THE FACTORY.
Steering, Aug 18, 2018
AS YOU DRIVE, THE VEHICLE HAS A TENDENCY TO DRIFT LEFT AND RIGHT, REQUIRING CONSTANT CORRECTION. LOWERING THE INFLATION OF THE TIRES SEEMED TO HELP, BUT THE ISSUE STILL REMAINS.

MAJOR DEADSPOT AND A LOT OF PLAY IN STEERING. CONSTANT ADJUSTMENT IN STEERING WHEN DRIVING OVER 30MPH. WANDERS INTO OTHER LANE....ALMOST HAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT ADJUSTMENTS. BROUGHT IT TO DEALER AND NOTHING WAS FIXED.

MERGING ON TO HIGHWAY, STEERING STIFFENED THEN LOOSENED. STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE AT 45-90 DEGREE ANGLE TO MAINTAIN STRAIGHT TRACK. AT HOME, I NOTICED THE TRACK BAR MOUNT HAD SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME. THE WELD ON THE OUTBOARD SIDE IS ON MOUNT INSTEAD OF THE SEAM BETWEEN THE MOUNT AND FRAME. THE FRONT AND REAR WELDS ON THE MOUNT ARE CRACKED. ONLY INTACT WELD IS THE INBOARD WELD.

THERE IS 1 TO 2 INCHES OF PLAY IN THE STEERING. THE JEEP DRIFTS FROM ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO THE OTHER. YOU HAVE TO BE CONSTANTLY STEERING ARE YOU WILL END UP IN THE OTHER LANE OR OFF THE ROAD. IT NORMALLY HAPPENS ABOVE 35 MPH ON HIGHWAY.
Steering, Aug 13, 2018
STEERING WONDERS FROM SIDE TO SIDE ABOUT 2 IN OF PLAY IN WHEEL. UNABLE TO DRIVE IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. SCARY TO BREAK HARD.
Steering, Aug 12, 2018
WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY, THE STEERING HAS ABOUT AN INCH OF PLAY MOVING LEFT OR RIGHT WHERE NO CHANGE OCCURS TO THE TIRES. SO I COULD DRIVING AND MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT SLIGHTLY AND THE TIRE DOESNT MOVE LEFT. SO WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS GOING THROUGH CURVES I TEND TO DRIFT A BIT DUE TO THIS.

EXCESSIVE WANDERING IF VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTION IS NEEDED BUT THE STEERING WHEEL HAS EXCESSIVE PLAY SO IT CONSTANTLY OVER CORRECTS. EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT IN THE STEERING WHEEL WITH LITTLE MOVEMENT OF THE TIRES.

STEERING IS VERY LOOSE WITH A LARGE DEAD SPOT. THE VEHICLE WANDERS ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TO CORRECT WANDERING THE DEAD SPOT CAUSES YOU TO NEED TO CORRECT WITH A GREATER MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE AND STEERING SEEMS VERY LOOSE AND WHEN HITTING ROAD IMPERFECTIONS THE VEHICLE CAN SEEM TO FLOAT.
Steering, Aug 9, 2018
THE STEERING HAS A VERY LARGE DEAD SPOT WHERE STEERING INPUT RESULTS WITH ZERO RESISTANCE OR STEERING CHANGE. I CAN MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AT LEAST 2 INCHES WITH ZERO REACTION FROM THE JEEP, BOTH AT SPEEDS AND NOT MOVING. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT IS DOWNRIGHT SCARY AS IT DRIVES LIKE AN OLD 70'S JEEP/TRUCK. EVERY TINY CORRECTION REQUIRES SUBSTANTIAL SEESAWING OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO CORRECT. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED ON JLWRANGLERFORUMS.COM WITH NO REAL FIX FROM JEEP. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS...JUST IMAGINE TAKING A CURVE AT 60 MPH ON A TWO LANE ROAD WITH A LARGE TRUCK/SEMI GOING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, THIS IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE JEEP IN THE LANE. SIDE WINDS AND PAVEMENT IRREGULARITIES ALSO WREAK HAVOC. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE THE FIRST DAY DRIVING THE JEEP HOME FROM THE DEALER. IT NOW HAS OVER 2,000 MILES .
Steering, Aug 9, 2018
THE STEERING HAS ABOUT 2 INCHES OF PLAY SIDE TO SIDE AND ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH IT CAN CHANGE LANES ON ME AND TAKES CONSTANT CONTROL ALL OF THE TIME. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID YES IT HAS PLAY BUT THAT IS NORMAL. THAT CAN'T BE CORRECT AS OTHER VEHICLES HAVE NO PLAY AT ALL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT SOMEDAY IF YOU DON'T TELL THEM TO FIX THIS.
Steering, Aug 9, 2018
THE JEEP WILL NOT HOLD A LINE. IT WANDERS OR DRIFTS THUS CAUSING CONSTANT MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAINTAIN TRAVEL IN DESIRED DIRECTION. I.E. IF TRAVELING STRAIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL REQUIRES CONSTANT INPUT. THE SAME APPLIES IN A SMOOTH CURVE. SPEED OF VEHICLE SEEMS TO NOT BE A FACTOR. I TOOK DELIVERY ON 6/12/2018 AND NOTICED THE ISSUE SAME DAY. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER AND DELIVERED IT TO THEM ON 8/01. A NEW STEERING BOX HAS BEEN ORDERED BUT I HAVE NOT RETAKEN POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. THANKS, (XXXX) PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

STEERING HAS A LARGE DEAD SPOT. VEHICLE WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD REQUIRING CONSTANT CORRECTION.IT IS REALLY BAD IN CROSS WINDS. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE WITH THE STEERING BOX. MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH, I CAN SEE THAT THE INPUT SHAFT IS TURNING, BUT THE SECTOR SHAFT IS NOT. THE GEAR BACKLASH ADJUSTMENT IS RIGHT ON THE MARKS FROM THE FACTORY.
Steering, Aug 8, 2018
STEERING HAS EXCESSIVE PLAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CORRECT STEERING WHEN CHANGING LANES. WHEN DRIVING THIS CAN CAUSE YOU TO OVER CORRECT WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE YOU TO DRIFT INTO ANOTHER LANE AND POSSIBLY HIT ANOTHER CAR.
