Wrangler sahara has appx 3" of play in the steering each side of center from side to side before it engages wheel movement while driving on city streets. Even at low speeds of 30 mph you have to constantly fight and correct the steering wheel left/right between the 10 O'clock and 2 O'clock hand position to keep the car straight in the lane or it wanders out of lane. Problem is worse at 55 mph+ on a highway and feels unsafe to drive above 55 mph. It looks and feels like I am weaving in the lane side to side down the street. I am waiting to get pulled over by the police for suspicion of driving under the influence. Vehicle is brand new with only 250 miles on odometer. I have owned other Jeep and own an 11 year old Wrangler that does not have this issue. In 30+ years of driving every vehicle you can imagine, I have never had a car with steering like this. You should not have to constantly move the steering wheel back and forth to such a degree to maintain lane position. Completely unsafe. An investigation needs to started so Jeep will correct this and not give people the run around at the dealer like others are experiencing.

Loose steering, lots of play, wandering all over the road. Took the Jeep back one week after I bought her, dealer looked at her, acknowledged it was dangerous and forced me into a loaner because of the danger and wouldn't let me take teh Jeep home. Eventually changed the power steering box. I picked it up and it still had excessive play in the steering wheel and was wandering all over the road and needed constant correction. Called dealer they claimed it was driven by the shop foreman and was now as intended. When stationary you can see the excessive play in the steering wheel. When in motion, especially on highways the excessive play becomes seriously dangerous when the vehicle wanders because you have to make sharp adjustments fast with a non responsive steering wheel.

- Downey, CA, USA

Loose steering, lots of play on center, very hard to steer on back roads, constant adjustment required to stay straight. 3 inches of play in each direction with no movement of vehicle. Not safe to operate on 2 lane roads

- Birchrunville, PA, USA

My steering wheel was not centered since I first got the car which was about 3 weeks ago. It has already been in service 3 times. Been at the dealership for 4 days out of the 3 weeks. They did the alignment twice and it did not solved. The steering wheels also waunders and does not track properly. It is very scary driving on the high way while trying to maintain control of the car to stay inside the lanes. Definitely a dead spot and the steering wheel does not response well. My car is still at the dealership. Brand new car and no solution at the moment. Also the radiator fan is very loud and unusual but I was just told it is common. Also my automatic engine shut off does not work at times.

Steering wanders and takes excessive wheel movement to control. Steering box seems to have too much play. Unpleasant to drive and borderline unsafe. Three trips to dealer, several parts replaced, no improvement

(in motion). As in many forums and youtube videos, the steering wheel of my car feels shaking, wobble or loose in the high-ways or above 30 mph. This situation is making it hard to keep the vehicle going straight on the roads. Beginner drivers could get nervous with this feeling and cause accidents, as well; for the normal drivers to keep the car straight must constantly (beyond of current standards) give inputs to the steering wheel, getting tired sooner compering with other drivers, the Jeep is increasing the probability of accidents because of this due is like being fighting against the steering wheel and the only answer from Jeep is "the car is like that" which is really dangerous.

Jeep has dead spot in steering, especially at high speeds which makes it wander all over the road. Suspension and linkage seems tight so it seems like a electric steering programming/calibration issue. Dealer tells me nothing is wrong. They are wrong!

- Millbury, MA, USA

Since vehicle was new, bought in June of 2019 the vehicle wanders on the highway needing constant correction. The steering has a very loose feeling. Dealer and fca calls it "operating as intended"

2019 Jeep Wrangler unlimited moab jl - no modifications, all stock, the steering severely wanders. Noticed after, about 1500 miles the Jeep will drift or wander into other lanes for no apparent reason. Some time the Jeep would drive straight, other times not so much. The vehicle is hard to keep straight with in a single lane. Took the Jeep to my local dealer and they could not find anything wrong, even with all the Jeep tsb's concerned that could lose control of vehicle as is wanders into other lanes. Note: I had a 2017 Jeep unlimited jk with no steering issues.

2019 Jeep Wrangler rubicon jl - no modifications, all stock. Steering issues. I noticed at about 250 miles, the Jeep will drift in to other lanes at any given time for no apparent reason. Trying to correct, causes a wobble. It is very exhausting and frightening just trying to keep the Jeep in a single lane going forward at highway speeds while drifting and correcting. I took the Jeep to my local dealer and they told me there was a new recall that came out just days ago. The recall was for a new steering damper. I drove it for about a day and all seemed fine. Now, the Jeep is back to drifting again, I think not as bad but I do not have much to compare as I am now at 750 miles and owned 2 weeks. I am very concerned that someone could get very hurt when the Jeep drifts in to other lanes or off the side of the road. I did not buy my Jeep so that I could use it off road or to modify. I bought it because I liked exactly the way it was. I am not interested in selling, trading, or using the "lemon law". I am strongly urging the NHTSA please open an investigation into the steering issues before people start getting seriously hurt.

Steering issues caused by weak steering components and poor suspension geometry. Death wobble and jumpy, loose, wandering steering from factory. Brought into dealer may for updated oem trackbar with stiffer bushing update and updated steering stabilizer. This has tightened steering somewhat and reduced the amplitude of death wobble but has not eliminated it. Jeep still wanders and jumps onto adjacent lanes when hitting expansion joint on freeway. Dealer service manager refuses to consider alternative fixes that have been shown to have positive results for others. Wind noise from a pillar and freedom top. Dealer noted but failed to fix inadequate defroster channeling results in the defroster only clearing the center of windshield. Driver cannot see out of wi shield. Design flaw since this is on all 2018 and 2019 jl. Dealer refuses to fix fragile windshield glass. Service manager ager refuses to consider this an issue eve. Though 1000S have lost their windshield and have broken numerous ones in short about ts of time too short lower control armcountry ol arms in not enough caster and lack of a caster adjustment results in poor steering. All above items occur when Jeep is in motion and represents ts a hazard on the road.

- Windsor, CO, USA

The steering is loose. Over 1 inch of play in steering drifts to left and right and unable to control at any speed. Constantly have to fight the wheel. I am afraid to drive it. $52,000 to remain in the dealership repair shop is pathetic. I took mine back after 3 days and now I am fighting and filing lemon law. I was told by the dealership Chrysler told them not to fix it until they determined if a recall would be sent out, but they knew there was a problem.

- Bluefield, WV, USA

Steering at speeds above 25 mph with this vehicle you will notice that there's too much play in the steering, requiring constant corrections especially on the freeway. Drifting from left to right trying to keep the vehicle between lanes on the roads/freeways can to lead to drivers fatigue; which could lead to a serious accident.

- Grove City, OH, USA

Steering on our new Jeep Wrangler is all over the place. You constantly have to correct as the car moves from side to side causing a very dangerous situation and the appearance you are an impaired driver. It is not safe to drive this car and it is brand new.

- Flowery Branch, GA, USA

The steering on a brand new 2019 Jeep Wrangler jl with less than 100 miles has very loose steering with a dead spot at the top. It is extremely challenging to maintain a lane when driving, especially at highway speed requiring constant input from the driver. Under hard braking the vehicle will pull to the right. The dealer service department supposedly performed a 4-wheel alignment prior to me purchasing the vehicle after my initial compliant during test driving. This is a safety issue.

- Niceville, FL, USA

Steering wanders and has way too much play causing the Jeep to drift to one side of the lane or the other and is very slow to respond to your efforts to correct the drift. Dangerous.

- Summit, MS, USA

My brand new 2019 2-dr. Jeep Wrangler jl has a serious steering problem. At highway speeds, especially above 50mph, the steering wheel needs constant small adjustments to keep the vehicle in its lane. Both I and my wife find it difficult to keep the vehicle on track in normal highway driving conditions. We feel that this is a serious safety concern. The slightest distraction of the driver's attention from the constant need for small steering corrections could and will eventually result in the vehicle wandering out of its lane into an adjacent lane, causing a high-speed accident. Unfortunately, a cursory investigation of such an accident would probably and unjustifiably result in a finding of driver inattentiveness, completely overlooking the underlying mechanical cause. Our dealership service representative states that he is unaware of this problem with these vehicles, even though the internet is flooded with complaints and anecdotal accounts of this problem with the 2018 and 2019 Wrangler jl's. the manufacturer, Fiat Chrysler, has yet to provide definitive acknowledgement or remedy for this problem. Given the seriousness of a steering malfunction in the 2018 and 2019 Wrangler jl vehicles, and the probability of its causing or having caused serious accidents, we sincerely hope the NHTSA will engage Fiat Chrysler to address this problem at the earliest possible time.
