2018 Jeep Wrangler complaints

WHEN TEMPS NEAR FREEZING AND THE VEHICLE IS COLD WHEN DRIVING AROUND 55 AND ROUNDING A CURVE THE STEERING WILL LOCK UP JUST AFTER 10 DEGREE OF WHEEL MOVEMENT. THE POWER STEERING LOCKS UP LIKE YOU HIT A MAXIMUM LIMIT AND THEN RELEASES.. HAPPENS ABOUT 2 TO 3 TIMES THEN GOES AWAY FOR THE REST OF YOUR DRIVE. DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN WARM. IT HAS HAPPENED EVER SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT.

MY JEEP WRANGLER HAS HAD A STICKY TRANSMISSION SINCE I INITIALLY PURCHASED IT AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND SINCE. THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES TO TRANSITION BETWEEN GEARS WHILE ACCELERATING AND EVEN MAKES A LOUD HIGH IDLING NOISE WHILE ACCELERATING AS IF IT DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES TO BE SERVICED FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY HAVENT FIXED IT AND NOW KEEPS SAYING THERE'S NOTHING WRONG. I RENTED THE SAME MODEL JEEP FOR TWO WEEKS BEFORE BUYING THIS ONE SO I KNOW EXACTLY HOW IT SHOULD DRIVE. PLEASE HELP ME AND INVESTIGATE. I PAID TOO MUCH FOR MY JEEP TO HAVE MY EXPERIENCE RUINED BY A BAD TRANSMISSION.

STEERING WHEEL STIFFENS WHEN TAKING CURVES IN HIGHWAY AND REQUIRES EXCESSIVE FORCE TO UNLOCK BEFORE HITTING SOMETHING'THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENED FREQUENTLY AND REQUIRES MORE FORCE EACH TIME.

THE JEEP STARTS TO SHAKE WHILE DRIVING AND IT IS HARD TO HOLD ONTO STEERING WHEEL. FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE NO CONTROL. THE MILEAGE ODOMETER GOES FROM 999,999 BACK TO CORRECT ONE. IT IS A BRAND NEW 2018. CAN'T GET THE STEERING PART BECAUSE IT IS ON BACK ORDER. WE DIDN'T EVEN GET A NOTICE ABOUT RECALL. I AM SO BLESSED MY DAUGHTER HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT GOING TO AND FROM COLLEGE

DEFROST IS AWFUL EVERYWHERE EXCEPT IN MIDDLE. WHY WOULD DEFROST RUN ACROSS ENTIRE FRONT DASH, AND NOT BLOW OUT AIR ANYWHERE EXCEPT IN CENTER!! IT'S FOR LOOKS MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME. VERY DANGEROUS, 6-8 INCHES ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE NO AIR BLOWS OUT. IN SNOWY OR ICY CONDITIONS DEFROST DOES NOT WORK, CANNOT SEE UNLESS YOU PULL OVER AND SCRAPE IT!!

THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING. THIS ESPECIALLY HAPPENS IN COLD WEATHER. THE STEERING WHEEL IS EITHER DIFFICULT TO TURN / SLOW TO RESPOND TO TURNING, OR, ON ONE OCCASION (FEB 7, 2021), IT LOCKED UP COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS TRYING TO FOLLOW A CURVE IN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. I HAD TO STOP THE CAR TO GET THE WHEEL TO UNLOCK. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST MONTH, AND CULMINATED IN THE VERY ALARMING EPISODE ON FEB 7. AFTER GOOGLING THIS ISSUE, I'M AWARE THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN JEEP WRANGLERS (LIKE MINE) PURCHASED IN LATE 2017 THROUGH EARLY 2018. I PURCHASED MY JEEP IN FEB, 2018. I'VE NOTIFIED CHRYSLER AND MY DEALERSHIP. MY DEALERSHIP INFORMS ME THAT IT IS LIKELY THE GEARBOX, BUT THEY ARE ON A 3 WEEK BACK ORDER. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE, BUT AM TAKING IT TO MY DEALERSHIP TOMORROW (FEB 9) TO BE DIAGNOSED, AND HOPE TO ARRIVE THERE SAFELY.

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION IN A RIGHT HAND TURN TO ENTER A HIGHWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED IN PLACE IN THE RIGHT TURN AND I WAS UNABLE TO TURN BACK TO THE LEFT AND CONTINUED IN THE RIGHT HAND TURN INTO THE BARRICADES. IT WAS PHYSICALLY LOCKED.

WHILE DRIVING, THE AUTO START/STOP FUNCTION WILL DISABLE AND A MESSAGE ON THE DASH POPS UP THAT SAYS 'STOP/START UNAVAILABLE. SERVICE START/STOP' AND A YELLOW A WITH AN ARROW AROUND IT WILL LIGHT UP ON THE DASH. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY BUT HAPPENS EVERY DAY. WHILE AT A RED LIGHT, MY JEEP SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE I WAS STILL IN DRIVE. THE SERVICE MESSAGE AS PREVIOUSLY STATED APPEARED, ALONG WITH THE YELLOW A AND ARROW. I HAD TO PUT MY JEEP INTO PARK AND RESTART MY ENGINE. THE SYSTEM MESSAGE AND A CONTINUED TO DISPLAY. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY ONE TIME, HOW EVER THAT STILL IS A SAFETY RISK FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR ROUGHLY TWO WEEKS TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT IS WRONG.

FOR SOME REASON WHEN DRIVING OVER 60MPH AND UNDER 40 DEGREES OUTSIDE, THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS OR BECOMES VERY STIFF WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURNING RIGHT DURING A CURVE IN THE ROAD OR WHEN CHANGING LANES. THE DANGER IS THAT IT WILL THEN SUDDENLY UN-STICK AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE TO THE RIGHT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS IN 2018. THERE WAS A DEALER SOFTWARE PROGRAMING UPDATE THAT WAS PERFORMED HOWEVER EACH WINTER WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW 40 THE ISSUE STILL OCCURS.

LOSE OF STABLE STEERING WHEN ROAD IRREGULARITY IS PASTED OVER AT ANY SPEED ABOVE 50 MPH. HAVING TO COMPLETELY STOP VEHICLE TO RECOVER STEERING.

I KEEP HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEN WENT AWAY SO TODAY 30JAN2021 I CHECKED MY SYSTEM WITH A OBD SCANNER AND IT POPPED UP THE CODE U0140 LOST COMMUNICATION WITH THE BODY CONTROL MODULE.

JEEP WRANGLER JL UNLIMITED SPORT S WITH DEATH WOBBLE HAD STEERING STABILIZER ADDED UNDER RECALL TO FIX THE ISSUE. AFTER 30000 MILES THE DEATH WOBBLE HAS RETURNED UNDER 45 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE, TRAIN TRACKS, OR OTHER OBJECT.

2018 JEEP ONLY HAS 25,000 MILES AND VIBRATES VIOLENTLY WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP DRIVING OVER 50 - 60 MPH. HARD TO CONTROL. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON STREETS WHERE SPEED PERMITS.

THE POWER STEERING WILL LOCK UP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS USUALLY OVER 30 MPH AND WILL COME BACK ON WHEN THE SPEED GOES BELOW 30MPH. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. ALSO, WHEN IT RANDOMLY COMES BACK ON THE VEHICLE WILL OVERCORRECT DUE TO THE POWER STEERING COMING BACK ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO TWO DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAVE YET TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SPORT AND A COUPLE MONTHS AGO I HAD AN ERROR MESSAGE POP UP SAYING SERVICE SHIFTER NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER MY JEEP STARTED FLASHING LIGHTS INSIDE AS WELL AS THE ENGINE START STOP WARNING CAME UP AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. EVERYTHING THEN WENT AWAY FOR A LITTLE BIT AND THEN IT STARTED TO COME BACK BUT NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND IS STAYING ON THIS TIME.

MY JEEP STEERING IS LOCKING WHEN I TURN LEFT OR SLIGHTLY TAKE A LEFT CURVE ON THE HIGHWAY, ALMOST CAUSE ME TO CRASH ON A BRIDGE, STEERING LOOKS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT COMES BACK WHEN YOU TURN HARDER, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY 'COULDN'T MAKE IT DO THAT' OF COURSE AROUND THE PARKING LOT FOR 5 MINUTES ISN'T GOING TO DO IT, NOW THEY WANT ME TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC AND DRIVE BACK HOME,

DEATH WOBBLE OCCURS AT SPEEDS AROUND 60 MPH, TRIGGERED BY SMALL BUMPS ON THE ROAD. EXTREME SHAKING OCCURS ON THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE. THE WOBBLING, WHEN IT IS TRIGGERED, CONTINUES EVEN IF THE ROAD IS SMOOTH AFTER THE BUMPS. THE WOBBLING IS NOT A VERTICAL VIBRATION FROM THE ROAD, IT IS A LEFT-RIGHT VIBRATION ON THE STEERING, WHICH THEN CAUSES VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE WHOLE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS IN HIGHWAYS AT REGULAR CRUISING SPEEDS 60 MPH ON STRAIGHT ROAD SEGMENTS, TYPICALLY AFTER GOING THROUGH A SMALL PATCH OF IRREGULAR (LITTLE BUMPY) ROAD, LIKE A BRIDGE OR AN OVERPASS ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE HAD ABOUT 5 VISITS TO THE DEALER IN JEEP-CHRYSLER OF MORGANTOWN, WV AND THEY CLAIM THAT SINCE THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE CONDITION, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. BUT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW.

WE TRIED TO START THE JEEP AT OUR HOME (STREET) AND IT WOULD NOT START. BUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED FLICKERING. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, WE DECIDED TO HAVE THE BATTERY CHECKED. THE BATTERY WAS USED FOR 34 MONTHS OF DRIVING. INTERSTATE BATTERY TESTED IT AND IT WAS LOW. WE DECIDED TO BUY A NEW ONE AND INSTALLED IT. NOW THE JEEP STARTS BUT THERE IS A SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING LIGHT AND THE GEAR SHIFTER DOES NOT LIGHT UP. WE CANNOT PUT IT INTO GEAR. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON DIFFERENT JEEP FORUMS. SOME DEALERS CANNOT SOLVE THE ISSUE, WHILE OTHER FIND THAT DIFFERENT HARNESSES ARE THE PROBLEM. OUR VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND BELIEVE JEEP SHOULD INITIATE A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM FOR ITS CUSTOMERS.

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF HIS CLIENT WHO OWNED 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED AFTER THE CLIENT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE OFF THE LOT, WHEN HE SAW SMOKE EXITING THE HOOD. THE CLIENT WAS ABLE TO PARK SAFELY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE CLIENT ALSO STATED HE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND POLICE FILED A REPORT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND WAS DEEMED TOTAL LOSS FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CLIENT DID NOT HAVE ANY INJURIES. THE CLIENT INFORMED THE DEALER REGARDING TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED UPON INVESTIGATION, THE VIN WAS ASSOCIATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V124000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,033.

FRONT END WOBBLE OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55-65)MPH DURING LANE CHANGES OR HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THIS GIVES A FEELING OF STEERING WILL CAUSE KEEP TO GO OUT OF CONTROL. SEVERE BRAKING IS ONLY REMEDY RIGHT NOW. IT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING AT VARIOUS HIGH SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOBBLED UNCONTROLLABLY WITHOUT WARNING AFTER GOING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GLENDALE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (900 S BRAND BLVD, GLENDALE, CA 91204) WHERE IT WAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE DEALER WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE DEATH WOBBLE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS FAMILIAR AND THAT ENGINEERS WERE WORKING ON A REMEDY TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING GEAR BOX. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000.

VEHICLE LOOSES STEERING CONTROL WHEN ENCOUNTERING SMALL BUMPS AT MEDIUM SPEEDS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN "FIXED" BY AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP UNDER FCA WARRANTY, AND CRITICAL SAFETY DEFECT CONTINUES. DRIVER LOSES ABILITY TO CONTROL AND STEER THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS

ON HUNDREDS OF OCCASIONS THE LAST THREE YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, I HAVE HAD SERIOUS STEERING PROBLEMS WITH DEATH WOBBLE, STEERING WANDER, AND LOCKED-UP STEERING. DEALERS HAVE PERFORMED WARRANTY WORK ON THE TRACK BAR AND STEERING STABILIZER IN THE PAST. HOWEVER, THESE REMEDIES HAVE NOT CORRECTED MY ISSUES. JEEP HAS ANNOUNCED A SERVICE BULLETIN OF THE STEERING BOX, BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE PART. I'M PERSUADED THAT THIS PART IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HUNDREDS OF COUNTS OF THIS ISSUE. THE PART HAS BEEN SILENTLY USED IN NEWER PRODUCTION JEEPS, BUT FOR THOSE OF US THAT HAVE THE FIRST MODEL YEAR (AND OVER BASIC WARRANTY MILEAGE) ARE LEFT WITH THIS BURDEN. I PERSISTENTLY HAVE LOCKED-UP STEERING, MORE OFTEN PRONE IN A COLDER CLIMATE, AND HAVE HAD HUNDREDS OF NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES FROM THIS ISSUE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS DIFFICULT TO TURN AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO BE TURNED. WITH ENOUGH FORCE AND SIGNIFICANT BRAKING I AM ABLE TO FREE THE STEERING FROM CENTER INTO THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. MANY TIMES THE VEHICLE PERFORMS AN OVER CORRECTION AFTER BECOMING UNSTUCK. I PERSONALLY FEEL DEATHLY AFRAID OF MY JEEP AND HAVE RECENTLY CANCELLED UPCOMING TRIPS INTO COLORADO'S MOUNTAINS BECAUSE I HAVE HAD EXPERIENCES ON THE MOUNTAIN PASSES THIS WINTER THAT HAVE BEEN TOO TERRIFYING. I'M READY TO SELL MY JEEP, BUT KNOWING OF ITS PROBLEM, I'D BE DEVASTATED TO FIND OUT MY VEHICLE KILLED THE NEXT OWNER. IT'S ABSURD THAT MYSELF AND MUCH OF THE JEEP WRANGLER COMMUNITY HAVE HAD TO RELY SOL

THIS JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON WAS PURCHASED USED WITH 26000 MILES. ON THE TEST DRIVE IT SEEMED OK HOWEVER, ON THE DRIVE HOME AFTER PURCHAST (ABOUT 90 MILES) I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WANDERED. AT TIMES IT WAS DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN THE CORRECT LANE ON THE INTERSTATE WITHOUT VERY CLOSE ATTENTION AND CONSTANT CORRECTION. VERY IRRITATING AND TIREING. THINKING IT WAS MAYBE WIND, (I TRADED A 2013 JEEP UNLIMITED RUBICON) I LATER DROVE IT ON A DAY WITH NO WIND. IT DID THE SAME WANDERING. THERE IS SOMETHING UNUSUAL ABOUT THE STEERING OF THIS VEHICLE.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE, WHETHER STATIONARY OR MOVING, SOMETIMES THE PARKING ASSIST GRID LINES DO NOT SHOW UP AT ALL ON THE SCREEN THAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT WHICH ARE SUPPOSED TO HELP YOU WHEN YOU ARE BACKING THE VEHICLE UP. THE GRID LINES LET YOU KNOW HOW FAR TO KEEP BACKING UP, IF YOU ARE GOING STRAIGHT OR AT AN ANGLE, LET YOU KNOW WHEN YOU SHOULD STOP BACKING UP, ETC. THIS MEANS YOU ARE NOT EXACTLY SURE WHEN YOU SHOULD STOP & SOMETIMES YOU HIT THE CURB BEHIND YOU WITH YOUR WHEELS OR IN MY CASE, I HIT OUR BACKYARD FENCE. I ALSO COULDN'T TELL THAT I WAS AS CLOSE TO A PARKED CAR AS I WAS OR THAT I DID NOT PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE STRAIGHT. I'VE EMAILED JEEP SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS & JOINED SEVERAL ONLINE BLOG GROUPS & JEEP KEEPS TELLING US JEEP OWNERS THEY WILL BE PUTTING OUT A UCONNECT UPGRADE WHICH SHOULD FIX IT BUT WE'VE BEEN WAITING OVER 2 YEARS NOW & NOTHING HAS HAPPENED.

VEHICLE STEERING LICKINGS UP WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 30MPH PARTICULARLY IN COLDER WEATHER CONDITIONS. WHILE DRIVING STEERING LOCKS AND HAS ALREADY NEARLY CAUSES A HEAD ON COLLISION AND INTO A DITCH.

STEERING BECOMES VERY TIGHT AND SEEMS TO LOCK UP WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT WHILE DRIVING. THEN WHEN IT RELEASES IT CAUSES THE CAR TO OVER STEER SOMETIMES INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENS BOTH OF LOCAL ROADS AND HIGHWAYS.

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 75MPH AND WENT OVER A BRIDGE. THE JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME STIFF FOR ABOUT A COUPLE OF SECONDS,WHEN IT GOT BACK TO NORMAL IT CORRECTED INTO INCOMING TRAFFIC, I NEARLY HIT INCOMING TRAFFIC,IT WAS PRETTY SCARY CAUSE THE STEERING WAS VERY HARD AND STIFF , I WAS TRYING TO CORRECT THE VEHICLE CAUSE IT WAS MOVING TOWARDS THE LEFT EVEN THOUGH I WAS TRYING TO CORRECT IT TO THE RIGHT, WHEN IT LOOSENED UP IT JERKED HARD TO THE LEFT TO INCOMING TRAFFIC,THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO INCOMING TRAFFIC AT THE TIME, ALSO I NOTICED THAT WHEN I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN GEAR THERE'S NO MOVEMENT, IT ACTS LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL, I HAVE TO PUT IT BACK IN PARK AND RESHIFT

THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER ONLY DEFROSTS AND CLEARS FOG AND ICE ON THE MIDDLE THIRD OF THE WINDSHIELD, LEAVING THE SIDE TWO THIRDS OBSTRUCTED. THIS ALSO PREVENTS THE WILERS FROM BEING WARMED AND BEING ABLE TO CLEAR SNOW AND ICE FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS WHILE DRIVING ALSO WHICH MADE ME PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR THE MIDDLE TO THAW OUT AGAIN SO I CAN SEE.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HIT A BUMP OR ANY SORT OF UNEVEN TERRAIN THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY. IT LITERALLY FEELS LIKE THE WHEELS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF. HAVE TO COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP TO STOP THE SHAKING. DURING THE SHAKING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS LOST. I HAVE BEEN TO JEEP SERVICE CENTERS 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. THEY TELL ME IT'S THE STEERING DAMPER AND IT'S FIXED AND THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN WITH NO WARNING.

I FEEL VERY UNSAFE TRYING TO KEEP MY JEEP GOING DOWN THE ROAD IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE STEERING RANDOMLY AND OFTEN WANTS TO JUST TAKE OFF TO EITHER SIDE OR THE OTHER ON PERFECTLY SMOOTH ROADS AND GENERALLY 'WANDERS' FOR NO REASON. I PRETTY MUCH DREAD IT WHEN I NEED TO DRIVE IT NOW. IT'S BASICALLY A FIGHT.

VEHICLES STEERING GETS A FLIGHTY/WANDERING FEELING AS SPEED INCREASES 40+ MPH, ESPECIALLY ON SECONDARY ROADS. WHEN DRIVING AROUND CURVES OR OVER ANY ABNORMALITY IN THE ROAD THE JEEP WILL WANDER OUT OF ITS LANE AND THEN THE PLAY IN THE STEERING MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO GET IT BACK IN A CONTROLLED MANNER. THE CONSTANT WANDERING REQUIRES CONSTANT INPUT FROM THE OPERATOR TO KEEP THE VEHICLE CENTERED. JEEP KNOWS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING BOXES IN THE 2018-2010 JL' AND JT'S, AND HAS ISSUED A TSB IN REFERENCE TO THIS, BUT GETTING THEM TO REPLACE THE STEERING BOX IS A HUGE HASSLE AS IT SEEMS MOST DEALERSHIPS ARE DEBUNKING THIS TSB.

I HAVE A PUSH TO START 2018 JEEP. THE OTHER DAY MY CAR WOULDN'T START, BATTERY DIED ON IT. IT WAS FIXED BUT THEN THE AC/HEAT UNIT WON'T TURN ON AT ALL. WHILE LOOKING FOR SOLUTIONS I SAW THIS ISSUE WAS VERY COMMON IN 2018+ MODELS AND WAS WONDERING WHY THERE ISN'T RECALL ON THIS IF IT'S A ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITHIN THE VEHICLE.

SO TODAY IT'S A LITTLE ON THE COLD SIDE. I JUMPED INTO THE JEEP AND ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND GET UP TO 60MPH. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME DECIDES TO PRETTY MUCH STOP IN MY LANE. VERY LITTLE TIME TO REACT, I TRY TO TURN INTO THE LANE TO MY RIGHT AND THE STEERING FEELS REALLY STIFF LIKE THE TIRE IS AGAINST SOMETHING THEN SUDDENLY THERE IS NO RESISTANCE CAUSING ME TO OVERCORRECT AND NEARLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE JEEP. SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE STEERING FEELS NORMAL. I SPEED BACK UP AND AS I GET UP TO AROUND 50-60MPH THE STEERING SUDDENLY FEELS VERY TIGHT AGAIN, NOT WANTING TO TURN MORE THAN 15-20 DEGREES, THEN IT GOES AWAY AND A BIT FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD IT SUDDENLY COMES BACK. I THINK LITEBRITE HAD A VIDEO OF THIS A WHILE BACK. I'VE NEVER HAD ANY STEERING ISSUES WITH MY JL. IT DRIVES ABSOLUTELY GREAT BUT I HAVE TO SAY THIS IS TERRIFYING BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE WAS HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL TO PREVENT ME FROM TURNING AND THEN SUDDENLY JUST LET GO CAUSING OVER CORRECTION.

WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS UNEVEN PAVEMENT OR A SMALL BUMP IT BEGINS AGGRESSIVELY AND UNCONTROLLABLY SHAKING. YOU MUST BRING THE SPEED OF THE CAR DOWN (SOMETIMES AS LOW AS 35MPH) TO REGAIN CONTROL. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I RECEIVED A CALL THAT THE CAR WAS FIXED, UPON ARRIVING I WAS TOLD THE PART IS OUT OF STOCK FOR THE RECALL AND HAVE NOW BEEN WAITING FOR WEEKS WITH NO ETA. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND JEEP HAS NO URGENCY TO FIX THE ISSUE.

STEERING DAMPER RECALL WAS COMPLETED I'M STILL EXPERIENCING THE "DEATH WOBBLE".VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES AND GET TOLD EVERY TIME THAT EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD. PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR A ROUGH SPOT ON THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE AND STEERING WHEEL BEGIN TO SHAKE LIKE THE VEHICLE IS JUMPING ON THE ROAD. TYPICALLY OCCURS WHEN TRAVELING OVER 50 MPH AND ONLY CORRECTS AFTER YOU SLOW DOWN. ISSUE CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND AND I FEEL THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND CAN POSE A LIFE THREATENING.

JUST GOT THIS JEEP USED FROM JEEP DEALERSHIP BACK IN JULY. I USUALLY DON'T DRIVE OVER 60 BECAUSE OF THE SPEED LIMITS AROUND HERE. BUT I JUST DID WHEN I WENT TO GO VISIT FAMILY 2 HOURS AWAY AND MY STEERING WHEEL SEEMED TO LOCK UP WHEN I WENT ANYWHERE FROM 60/70MPH. I HAD TO JERK THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY TO ONE SIDE SO I COULD DRIVE ON A BENDED PORTION OF THE ROAD. IT'S NOT LISTED AS A RECALL BUT THIS IS SERIOUSLY CONCERNING TO ME. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THAT ONE TIME BUT I TEST IT OUT WHEN I DROVE BACK HOME AND THE LAST 6 TIMES I WENT TO VISIT AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENS EVERY TIME. MOST RECENT TIME IT HAPPENED WAS YESTERDAY AND MY UNCLE SAID TO REPORT IT.

STEERING IS LOCKING UP WHILE GOING AROUND CORNER AT 65 MILE PER HR JUST STARTED AFTER NEARLY 2 YEARS AND LESS THAN 10000 MILES

TOOK MY WIFE VEHICLE TO WORK SEE WHAT THIS SHAKINESS SHE EXPIRENCED. AND WHEN I TELL YOU IT HAD TO BE THEE MOST SCARIEST THING I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME IT'S A BAD STEERING STABILIZER WE WILL SEE. I WANT THIS ON THE RECORD THIS IS MY SECOND TIME FOR THIS ISSUE. I DO HAVE VIDEO PROOF UPON REQUEST.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY MY STEERING LOCKED UP AND I ALMOST HIT THE CONCRETE MEDIAN. IT IS HAPPING AT HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS. TAKE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I AM ALWAYS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE DOING DEATH WOBBLE FROM REPETITIVELY FROM SPEEDS 50 ON UP TO 70 AT TIMES LOWER. HARD TO CONTROL.

SUN VISOR MOUNT BREAKS CAUSING VISOR TO HANG DOWN AND OBSCURE VIEW. HAD TO PULL OVER AND THEN HOLD VISOR WHILE IT IS HANGING DOWN TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING WITHOUT AN OBSCURED VIEW.

I WAS GOING AROUND THE CORNER AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP MAKING IT TO WHERE I HAD TO PULL HARD THE OTHER WAY JUST TO UNLOCK IT. AND WHEN I FIRST GOT THIS VEHICLE THE WINDSHIELD SHATTERED WITHIN TWO MONTHS OF OWNING THIS JEEP. AND NOW THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKING UP AND ALSO MY CONTROLS ARE NOT WORKING ON MY STEERING WHEEL AND THE COLUMN IN THE MIDDLE AC HEATER HEATER ALL THE CONTROLS.

THE SEATBELT WILL NOT RETRACT AFTER BEING FULLY EXTENDED WHILE DRIVING. THE SEATBELT WILL THEN BE STUCK IN THE FULLY EXTENDED POSITION WHILE DRIVING.

THE SEATBELT WILL NOT RETRACT AFTER BEING FULLY EXTENDED WHILE DRIVING. THE SEATBELT WILL THEN BE STUCK IN THE FULLY EXTENDED POSITION WHILE DRIVING.

THE SEATBELT WILL NOT RETRACT AFTER BEING FULLY EXTENDED WHILE DRIVING. THE SEATBELT WILL THEN BE STUCK IN THE FULLY EXTENDED POSITION WHILE DRIVING.

AXLE LOCKER SYSTEM HAS FAILED, I GET A CONTINUOUS WARNING THAT IT HAS FAILED. THIS IS A PROBLEM NATION WIDE THAT I CAME TO REALIZE AS I RESEARCH IT ONLINE. IT OBVIOUSLY IS A PROBLEM THAT IS EFFECTING A LOT OF 2018. CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, THANK YOU

TRAVELING WEST ON I 40 IN WILMINGTON NC APPROX 70 MPH WHEN VEHICLE BEGAN TO SUDDENLY SHAKE VIOLENTLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. MY WIFE BECAME SO SCARED AS SHE DROVE, WE HAD TO PULL OVER AND I HAD TO TAKE OVER DRIVING. SHE WILL NOT DRIVE THIS JEEP AGAIN. I'VE NEVER SEEN A VEHICLE SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY AS IF THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS ABOUT TO FALL OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR ANY SECOND. NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, I THINK IT DEFINITELY IS A SAFETY ISSUE. 3 LANE HIGHWAY, 70 MPH, CARS ON EVERY SIDE OF YOU AND YOU HAVE TO SLAM ON BRAKES, OR THE INSTINCT IS TO SLAM ON BRAKES BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE ABOUT TO DIE OR NOT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS FRONT END ISSUE WITH JEEP WRANGLER.
