2020 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon. the driver side control arm bracket on my front axle is not welded on one side. the weld missed the bracket all together. there is a recall for some 2020s, but mine is not listed. jeep told me since mine is not listed, there is nothing they can do. also even if it was impacted, there is no fix yet. my front axle could come loose at any time due to missing weld causing a loss of control. this is a serious safety concern and they will not do anything about it.
2020 jeep rubicon unlimited pulls to the right at speeds above 35mph and needs constant correcting to stay straight on a flat paved surface. this is not a road crowning issue, happens on surface streets or highway but most noticeable on highways. you can feel the resistance of the steering wheel that wants to naturally be in a right pulling position. furthermore, you can see the difference in balance by turning to the left and watching the steering wheel come back to center...turn to the right and it barely moves back to the left...it wants to stay right. jeep says they have no fix for this problem, yet it has been reported since 2018. inferior parts and the inability to make adjustments has perpetuated this issue. the nhtsa must force fca to create a permanent fix for this problem. see also 11258580. *dsy*dt*dt*jb*jb*dt*jb*dt consumer stated old aluminum gear box was replaced and pcm software updated. alignment check will be done following week.*jb

While driving the jeep, it is almost impossible to keep the vehicle in a straight line. i have to constantly adjust the wheel to keep myself in my lane, otherwise i drift from left to right. it does not matter the speed either, if i don't keep correcting myself, i just end up in the lane next to me or almost crossing over the lines. besides the vehicle wandering all over the road, the steering is very loose.
I purchased the vehicle last friday and shortly after that i have discovered a loose steering with a 2 inch dead spot when traveling over 40mph. i feel unsafe driving it on the highway especially on uneven pavement. driving in the tunnel feels like i am fighting for my life. we did contact the dealer however, they denied the problem stating the vehicle is up to spec.
New 2020 jeep wrangler with 300 miles, wants to "wander" instead of going in a straight line while moving. there is about 1/2" of play (left to right from dead center) that doesn't move the car in either direction. uneven roads makes the car wander even worse. dealer checked on 1/21/20 and said nothing was found wrong (see attached jpg file.
Vehicle is wandering all over the lane, steering feels "loose" and it is hard to keep the vehicle straight in lane. happens at all speeds but it's more noticeable at highway speeds (50-70mph). i had "near miss" when driving west on i-10 before baytown where road works are happening and the road has been barricaded on both sides making the road too narrow. so when driving side by side with an 18wheeler it was almost impossible to be precise and keep the vehicle straight. i had to brake hard to let the 18wheeler go and try to avoid another one passing me and being in the same situation. if you hold the steering wheel straight, the vehicle won't do the same, so you have to give constant input to avoid going to other lanes. i've found massive complaints on jeep forums and youtube. some videos are actually leading to a solution by replacing the steering box, flashing the power train control module or replacing the trac bar as well, etc. i'm about to visit the dealership for second time after the issue was not resolved on first visit. only alignment was done and they said the steering issue was "normal" and that all new wranglers were like that. thanks for your time.
Car pulls to the side, have to continuously give inputs to the steering wheel to keep car centered. it is a brand new car. bought 1/17/2020, and today's date is 1/20/2020
I call it the wandering wheel has done this from day one from dealer lot. the vehicle wanders all over the road, constantly having to correct the steering. very stressful while driving on highway and or interstate. very easily could lead to lose of control of vehicle. i've contacted jeep wave and they know the issues which is steering gearbox as they have the same issue with 18 & 19's. they know what the issue is but still can not get the issues fixed.
While driving at around 40+ mph on the highway, the vehicle wanders from side to side, requiring constant steering input to stay within the lane. failing to correct the steering (even briefly) results in the vehicle unintentionally departing from the lane.
While driving at speeds between 35 and 65 mph, the vehicle will wander from left to right causing the driver to constantly correct the vehicle to stay within the lane. the vehicle will also pull to the left or right when applying the brakes. once i swerved half a lanes width under heavy braking. the vehicle has 3100 miles on it. at all times regardless of the road condition this behavior exist and the internet is full of complaints. this is a major safety issue, not a performance issue. please watch this video as he does a great job describing the issues surrounding the safety of this product. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzes1_cj99s i believe if something does not happen immediately there will be accidents. i had to fight with jeep to get a rental for three days. this is not a tire pressure issue or simple alignment issue and that's how the dealers are trying to fix this issue, with band-aids i ask for you to read and take this message very serious as i am concerned for anyone with this vehicle and these handling problems. it is a know issue and jeep continues to put people in these cars. the jeeps are still being sold without a proper confirmation that they are safe. i know, because i have one....
The steering is loose and has play in the steering wheel. it is difficult to keep the jeep going straight because you constantly have to make steering corrections. the 'dead zone' play in the steering wheel happens while stopped and driving.
While driving on a highway, and also on local roads, a service shifter error message comes up on the dash display. right after that numerous error lights come on indicating numerous failures along with a check engine light. in addition, the steering locks up making it extremely difficult to steer the vehicle. makes it very difficult to steer the vehicle when this happens. and, it has happened several times. there are videos online that show this failure on other new jeep wranglers.
The steering on this jeep is dangerous. it will not return to center, which at low speeds means it will turn in a circle and you have to steer back when making a turn. at high speeds it means constantly overcorrecting and correcting to keep vehicle in lane. this is tacking back and forth at high speeds to avoid hitting vehicles or barriers on either side of you. terrifying. there is also a large dead spot in the steering from about 11 to 1 making this even tougher. jeep told me "this is as designed." even though they could see the problem, the weren't allowed to try any solutions. this is a severe safety issue and needs to be corrected/recalled before it kills someone. there should be no vehicle that should be "designed" not to return to center and have minimal steering control at highway speeds. a second problem is that it tends to really wander with any outside force. a slight breeze will mean you are all over the road, and without being able to return to center you are again guessing at center and end up tacking back and forth even at lower speeds. the dealer also noted this.
The steering is very loose. you can turn the wheel several inches before the car reacts. difficult to keep the car between the lines. the tire inflation has been checked.
From the day the jeep was driven off of the lot with 20 miles on it it has experienced what can be described as loose or unresponsive steering. there is no noticeable play in steering when stationary, however when in motion there exists about 1 or 2 degrees of dead or unresponsive range in the steering. when the steering wheel is moved left or right for 1 to 2 deg. there is no response or a delayed response from the wheels. as most wranglers' steering will wander to some degree, this can cause dangerous body roll, over-correction in steering and loss of traction in snowy conditions, particularly when 4wd is engaged. this has caused loss of traction, near accidents and veering off of roads in multiple occasions. this wrangler has been in the dealership's shop multiple times where the service manager and mechanics agree that this issue exists, however claim to not know how to fix it. interactions with fca (jeep) have produced no results as they claim to be unaware of such issues.
The steering wheel has about 5% dead play when going over 60 miles an hour
Took my jeep wrangler in for service to address a serious highway speed over steering issue. at freeway speed you can not hold the jeep into a curve with drifting out of the radius of the curve. this forces a slight correction which over corrects the other way. i also have my premium sound left speakers cutting out periodically when driving.
While driving at highway speeds, the steering become sloppy and unresponsive. this causes the vehicle to wander from side to side. the steering is loose, so any correction to prevent the wandering is not enough or too much. this causes a loop where the wandering becomes side to side driving. at these speeds it is in danger of flipping or hitting another car. any wind or seam in the road is also cause for concern, as the outisde forces cause the driver to correct the vehicle. with the steering correction is nearly impossible. 2 events in 1 week of ownership resulted in letting the car coast to a stop (on highway shoulder) in attempt to regain composure after excessive side to side wandering nearly flipped the car. it is unsafe to drive.
The steering is very loose and extremely dangerous on the highway. while driving on the highway, it is extremely difficult to steer straight. i have to make large steering wheel adjustments just to remain in the lane. driving this jeep is very unsafe at highway speeds.
New 2020 wrangler unlimited rubicon just a week old. been into dealer 3 of those 7 days for the following: 1.) significant pull to the right on flat surface streets or highways regardless of speed. alignment was done and in specs, yet the problem exists. rotated tires back to back and side to side..no fix. constant correction required every few seconds making it not just a safety issue, but also an exhausting driving experience. 2.) steering wheel is off centered about 5+ degrees to the right and wants to continuously go back to that position. does not align straight. can feel it resisting me wanting to go back off center to the right. there is play in the steering wheel, and you can see that it wants to stay off center all the time. 3.) steering wheel when making a left turn immediately comes back towards center to the right and feels like it resists when wanting to turn left; however, when making a right turn, there is no resistance and it does not comeback to center willingly as it should. dealer does not know what to do at this point, and asked that i wait for a software update to come out in next 3-6 months. i do not find this to be an acceptable option. see also 11307713. *dsy*dt*jb*jb
When traveling on the highway at or above 60 mph, the jeep wanders and doesn't maintain a straight line. the steering is very loose and very difficult to remain in my lane at all times. i feel very unsafe traveling on the highway with this vehicle.
The steering is very loose and dangerous to drive at speeds over 50 mph. this is not a safe vehicle and will result in injury or death to the driver and its occupants.
Significant "dead-zone" at center. inconsistent steering feedback. significant wandering, making it difficult to keep vehicle centered in lane. essentially feels like having to play "ping-pong" with constant corrections to keep jeep in lane, constantly weaving. happens at all speeds. is not related to weld issue with prior models, i don't think. very scary and concerning at higher speeds.
We purchased this 2020 jeep on 09/03/2019 and the same day noticed an issue with the steering. it would sway in the lane and you constantly have to correct it. i notified the dealer immediately and got almost zero response. i drove it to the dealership the next day and was told they were aware of the problem but didn't have a fix for it. i was blown away, i had just paid over $50,000 for a brand new jeep that had 3 miles on it and it had a problem. i was told to call some 800 number and maybe they could help me. i complained again about the problem to my salesman and he scheduled a service appointment. i took the jeep in and they said that they done an alignment and that the tires were a little over inflated so they brought them to factory pressure. again, this is a brand new jeep that they had just ran through what they call pdi when they come off the truck. so if the tire pressure was wrong, then it was wrong because they didn't check it. i received the jeep back and there was no difference at all. i'm honestly at my whits end with it. i found online that this is a major issue and thought maybe i could get some help from you guys.
Driving at highway speeds, the steering feels loose and the jeep tends to wander left and right. under certain circumstances, such as curves in the highway, especially going downhill, controlling the direction of the vehicle becomes difficult and scary. the only thing to do under such circumstances is to slow down sufficiently to maintain directional control. on sept 1, 2019 i've almost ran into the median divider on i-70 west, west of evergreen co. on sept 2, 2019, i was struggling to stay in my lane heading east on i-70 into denver, just east of golden, co
