STEERING

Potential Consequences:

I HAD THE JEEP IN FOR SERVICE, THE FRONT END WOBBLED VIOLENTLY AND IT IS HARD TO KEEP THE JEEP GOING STRAIGHT IN THE LANE WITH ONE HAND, TWO HANDS MUST BE USED! THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A NEW STABILIZER SHOCK TO TAKE CARE OF THE THE FRONT END WOBBLE WHICH SEEMS TO OF HELPED. WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD AT SPEEDS ABOVE 55 MILES AN HOUR I CAN STILL FEEL THE WOBBLE BUT ITS DAMPENED BY THE SHOCK. THE DEALERSHIP FLASHED THE ECM WITH AN UPDATE FOR THE STEERING, BUT IN MY OPINION IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I SEE THIS SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER JEEPS ALL OVER THE INTERNET, AND HAVE ALSO DRIVEN OTHER 2018 JEEP WRANGLERS AT OTHER DEALERSHIPS AND THEY ALSO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING WITH THE ELECTRIC ASSIST ON THE STEERING. I DON'T THINK THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE! I HAVE A 19 YEAR DAUGHTER WHO CANT UNDERSTAND WHY I DONT LET HER DRIVE THE VEHICLE! TRY TO EXPLAIN THAT TO YOUR DAUGHTER WHO THINKS LOVES THE VEHICLE. I DO HAVE A REF# 11164329
