STEERING IS SO LOOSE THAT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CONTINUED MOTION BACK AND FORTH ON THE STEERING WHEEL THAT IS REQUIRED TO ATTEMPT TO KEEP MY VEHICLE IN IT'S LANE CAUSES IT TO WOBBLE AND BECOME UNSTEADY ON THE ROADWAY. IT IS LOOSE ALL THE TIME BUT IS MOST DANGEROUSLY NOTICEABLE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED. THE DATE LISTED BELOW IS JUST ONE DATE THAT I SPECIFICALLY REMEMBER ALTHOUGH IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

BRAND NEW JLUR FIRST ROAD TRIP, GOT LESS THEN 500 MILES OUT OF CO INTO HAYS,KS. VEHICLES HAS LEES THEN 5000 MILES, WAS PASSING A VEHICLE AT 68 MPH. LOST ALL FORWARD GEARS, GOT A CODE FOR VALVE BODY SILENOID HIGH VOLTAGE. JEEPCARES DID NOTHING FOR A TOW. IT'S A LITTLE SAD YOU PAY $55,000+ FOR A VEHICLE, JUST TO HAVE A VEHICLE SIT IN THE SHOP WITH NO LOANER. TRANSMISSION IS ON A 2 MONTH BACK ORDER. WORD OF ADVICE STAY AWAY FROM ANY THE NEW JL/JT MODEL JEEPS.

THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER DOESN'T REACH THE OUTER PORTIONS OF THE WINDSHIELD WHICH RESULTS IN DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS IN COLD WEATHER. I HAVE TO TURN THE HEAT ALL THE WAY ON HIGH AND THE FAN ALL THE WAY UP TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS HURTING MY EYES AND IT STILL DOESN'T PREVENT ICE ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES. I HAVE TO LEAN TO THE RIGHT TO SEE THROUGH MY WINDSHIELD. THIS HAPPENS WHILE SITTING STILL, DRIVING, ETC. IT HAPPENS ANYTIME THE WEATHER IS BELOW FREEZING AND THERE ARE WET CONDITIONS

MY 2020 JEEP WRANGLER JLUR HAS A DEAD SPOT IN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT IS ABOUT 1.5 TO 2 INCHES OF STEERING TURN WITH NO RESPONSE. IT IS VERY HARD TO KEEP IT FROM OVER STEERING ESPECIALLY AT SPEEDS MORE THAN 50 MPH. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY MAKE MICRO-ADJUSTMENTS TO KEEP IT IN MY LANE. WHEN LARGE TRUCKS LIKE 18 WHEELERS PASS ME IT GETS VERY DICEY. I'VE GOTTEN SCARED TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY JEEP NOW. THERE IS NO EXCUSE AT ALL FOR A VEHICLE TO DRIVE THIS POORLY. I PAID NEARLY $60K FOR THIS CAR AND IT ONLY HAS 5,000 MILES ON IT THUS FAR. THE PROBLEM STARTED AT ABOUT 2,700 MILES. I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD MY FIRST OIL CHANGE YET. I HAVE HEARD MANY OTHERS WITH JL'S HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. FCA NEEDS TO RECALL THE STEERING ON JL WRANGLERS BEFORE PEOPLE GET INJURED OR DIE FROM THIS STEERING ISSUE. IT'S NOT SAFE!!

I PURCHASED THE JEEP 7/4/2020 NEW OFF THE LOT WITH 9 MILES ON IT. I NOTICED RIGHT AWAY DRIVING HOME THAT THE CAR WANDERED A LOT AND I SPENT A LOT OF TIME CORRECTING THE STEERING TO STAY IN THE LANES. IT WAS SCARY. I HAD EVEN MORE DIFFICULTY ON THE BACK ROADS HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA AND ESPECIALLY ON THE FREEWAY WITH ANY KIND OF WIND. I SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THE JEEP BOARDS AND FOUND THE TSB BULLETIN THAT CAME OUT ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ALUMINUM STEERING BOX WITH 2 SCREWS WITH THE STEEL STEERING BOX WITH THE 4 SCREWS. I TOOK IT IN THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER AND THE BOX ARRIVED MID-OCTOBER DUE TO THE BACKLOG. IT WAS INSTALLED BUT IT MADE LITTLE DIFFERENCE. I HAD OTHER WARRANTY ISSUES WITH THE JEEP AND CONTINUED TO ASK EACH TIME I WENT IN AND WAS TOLD THAT'S JUST JEEPS AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I HAD AN OLDER JEEP AS A RENTAL FOR A WHOLE WEEK AND IT DIDN'T HAVE THIS STEERING ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHO COMPARED THE NOTES OF WHAT WAS DONE AND CONFIRMED THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO AS PROTOCOL WAS FOLLOWED. THE CAR IS DANGEROUS. I CAN'T LET MY KIDS DRIVE IT AS IT IS REALLY ONLY FOR AN ADVANCED DRIVER WHO CAN DEAL WITH THE CONSTANT WANDERING IN AND OUT OF THE LANES. I HAVE A VIDEO I CAN SUBMIT BUT IT LOOKS LIKE MOV FILES ARE NOT ACCEPTED. PLEASE ADVISE IF YOU WANT A COPY OF THE MOVIE AFTER THE STEERING BOX REPLACEMENT.

WHILE DRIVING ON HWY 65 MPH, I NOTICED MY STEERING GETTING HARD TO CONTROL, I THEN REALIZED THAT IT WAS LOCKED IN THE STRAIGHT FORWARD POSITION, AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF FORCEFULLY TRYING TO TURN THE WHEEL IT FINALLY BROKE FREE, I EXITED THE HWY AND WENT STRAIGHT TO THE HOUSE. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME. QUIT SCARRY IN TRAFFIC I MUST SAY. IT DOES DRIVE NORMAL NOW, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.
Steering, Jan 27, 2021
VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN DRIVEN AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. EACH INSTANCE REQUIRES IMMEDIATE STOPPAGE OF VEHICLE AND THE NEED TO SEEK EMERGENCY ROAD SIDE AREA TO PULL OVER ONTO FOR SAFETY. THIS FRIGHTENING EFFECT OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING.

FRONT WINDSHIELD FAILS TO DEFROST DURING COLD DRIVING CONDITIONS, ALLOWING SNOW/ICE TO BUILD UP, DIRECTLY IMPACTING THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO SEE CLEARLY OUT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN PARKED WAITING TO TRY AND DEFROST SO I COULD SEE CLEARLY OUT OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. DEFROSTER, ON HIGH FULL HEAT DOES NOT REACH THE LEFT AND RIGHT PORTIONS OF THE WINDSHIELD.
Visibility/wiper, Dec 27, 2020
WHILE THE JEEP HAS DEFROST VENTS ACROSS THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD, IT ONLY BLOWS HOT AIR FROM THE CENTER, LEANING THE SIDES OF THE WINDSHIELD TO COLLECT SNOW AND ICE, EVEN WITH DEFROST ON ITS HIGHEST SETTING.

THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE TO ORDER THE SEAT BRACKET IN ORDER TO FIX IT. I CANNOT UTILIZE MY VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT ANYBODY BECAUSE OF IT BEING A SAFETY RISK TO ANY PASSENGER AS WELL AS MYSELF DO TO THE SEAT NOT BEING ABLE TO PERFORM ACCURATE SIDE AIRBAG PROTECTION.

EXCESSIVE PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL WHICH RESULTS IN CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTION TO STAY IN THE LANE. THERE IS AN UNRESPONSIVE DEAD ZONE OF SEVERAL INCHES ALLOWING THE JEEP TO WANDER FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THIS ISSUE OCCURS AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS BOTH ON HIGHWAYS AND SECONDARY ROADS MAKING THE JEEP WRANGLER DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. WHILE FOLLOWING BEHIND THE JEEP WRANGLER ON A HIGHWAY, IT APPEARS AS IF THE DRIVER IS EITHER DISTRACTED OR INTOXICATED AS THE JEEP WANDERS IN AND SOMETIMES OUT OF THE LANE MAKING IT A HAZARD.

THE DAY MY HUSBAND PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR ME, I DROVE DOWN TO MY HOUSE ON A HIGHWAY (SPEED LIMIT WAS 55 MPH), I NOTICED STEERING WHEEL STARTS WOBBLING AT A SPEED OF 50-55 MPH, IT WOBBLED MORE GOING AROUND THE CURB, IT REALLY SCARED ME SO I HAD TO STOP THE CAR AND ASK MY HUSBAND TO DRIVE AND SEE WHAT HIS OPINION ON THE LOOSE STEERING WHEEL. HE SAID HE FELT THE SAME WOBBLE AS I DID AND CALLED THE SALES PERSON TO HAVE THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT CHECK IT OUT. THIS VEHICLE IS DOING SAME THINGS THAT IT HAD DESCRIBED IN THE DEATH WOBBLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THIS IS BRAND NEW 2020 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON, THEIR TOP OF THE LINE JEEP. TWO DAYS LATER, MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP, THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID STEERING WHEEL WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO ORDER THE PART WHICH WAS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL NOVEMBER AND GAVE ME A NUMBER TO CALL THE CHRYSLER PARTS DEPARTMENT FOR SPEEDY DELIVERY ON THE PART. THE CASE MANAGER SAID PARTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL NOVEMBER NO MATTER WHO CALLED BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WAITING ON THIS PART(A NEW STEERING GEAR). THE MANUFACTURER KNEW THAT THEY WERE PUTTING OUT VEHICLES WITH DEFECTIVE PARTS AND DEALER KNEW THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD THE BAD PARTS SINCE IT WAS IN THEIR TBS BUT THEY STILL SELLING THESE VEHICLES ON THEIR CAR LOT. SINCE THEN, THEY GOT THE NEW PART AND REPLACED IT BUT STILL HAD THE SAME WOBBLY STEERING WHEEL, VERY SCARY FEELING. I HAVE THE DETAILED NOTES ON WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE.

HAD IT FOR LESS THAN 2 WEEKS (WAS BRAND NEW, PURCHASED WITH ONLY 43 MILES) AND DECIDED TO TAKE IT ON A FALL ROAD TRIP. HALFWAY THROUGH OUR ROAD TRIP (ABOUT 100 MILES IN) ENGINE STARTED 'JUMPING' AND 'HEAVING' WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MP; THEN WOUDN'T ACCELERATE AT ALL, AND SPEED STARTED TO DECLINE. WAS VERY NEAR AN EXIT, SO WAS ABLE TO COAST IN TO A GAS STATION. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL ERROR CODE + SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS WERE LIT. ATTEMPTED TO TURN OFF AN ON SEVERAL TIMES, HOPING THIS WAS JUST SOME KIND OF GLITCH, BUT AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS IT WOUDN'T EVEN STAY STARTED. WHILE IN PARK, AFTER PRESSING "START" ENGINE JUST KEPT JUMPING THEN AUTOMATICALLY WOULD SHUT ITSELF OFF. OUR WHOLE FAMILY STRANDED HOURS AWAY FROM HOME. UNDER 500 MILES AND IT HAD TO BE TOWED IN TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP WHERE IT'S BEEN SITTING FOR ALMOST A WEEK NOW AND THEY STILL HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT. WAS TOLD THAT IT LIT UP WITH SO MANY ERROR CODES THEY HAVE TO GET A SPECIAL ENGINEER FROM MOPAR TO COME OUT' JUST IN SHOCK THAT WE'RE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH A $65K VEHICLE. VERY UNSAFE.
