Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Took to the dealership for a few problems and one of them was loose or wandering steering, while warranty was still covered 3/36. Dealer stated "thats how a jeep drives" and did fix the other issues i also brought it in for. Only a few years later just after i cross 40,000 miles, I decide to plan a road trip but dont want the hassle of constant steering corrections on the trip. I notice while seaching the internet for aftermarket steering fixes that Jeep had a TSB for the exact same issue I have and others who were still under warranty were getting the new sterring components and loving their Jeep! I am still frustrated that the dealer says its no longer covered for me even though all the new models have the new steering components now. The TSB should have been communicated to owners to be able to safely handle their Jeep at highway speeds even in windy conditions. Instead I just dont drive it most of the time.

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
2019 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited---while driving the vehicle on a city street, without any warning, all of the dash lights and any/all warnings lights started to flash. Within 200 feet of this occurring, the vehicle lost power, including ability to control the steering, and the car came to an immediate stop. During this shut down instance, I was able to vigorously hold the steering wheel to guide the car to the side of the road, avoiding the traffic that came. After the car shut down, the dash lights and windshield wipers were still going off. It still had electrical power. It would not start back up. I had to have it towed to the dealership. It is currently being looked at by the local dealership. 05-29-22

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The dash glitches and lights up all of the warning lights, speed and fuel goes up and down then the engine idles high despite not shifting/touching anything. Then it it completely locked up and cannot shift out of park. If it sits for a while occasionally it will start and only have check engine light on and allow you to shift to drive however while driving I have had the entire dash light up and speedometer/rpms going up and down causing it to run higher. It has been back to the dealer twice now for same issue that was supposedly fixed. It says service shifter, my abs are not working and electronic stability control needs service amongst other things. It is very scary when this has happened while driving on the highway with my children in the car and the fact I never know if I will be able to make it to or from work/picking up kids or if I will be stuck in drive/have engine shut off while driving. This has happened more than once in my 3 weeks of purchasing this vehicle and I am scared for our safety. I have had the codes read prior to going to the dealership and it says multiple things are malfuntioning

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
When driving on a highway at speeds above 50 mph, i hit a bump in the road and my front end started to shake violently and also caused my steering wheel to bounce around. As i slowed down the bouncing reduced but it did not stop completely until i came to a complete stop off to the side of the road. There is a customer satisfaction notice out for a steering damper that i am having scheduled, but this seems like it should be a safety issue and a recall.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
“Death wobble” or uncontrolled front steering vibration and violent shaking. Steering gear box was replaced at 12,000 miles. Replacement gear box seemed to be ok for about 15,000miles. At about 17000 miles(29,000 total vehicle miles) the vehicle experienced a violent shaking when on a freeway and going over a bridge overpass bump at about 75-80mph. The shaking would not stop until braking occurred nearly causing a rear end collision from car behind. Dealer has not been able to recreate the wobble in part because they will not drive over 70mph(the local freeway speed limit). The steering gear box “fix” for this problem was clearly not a robust corrective measure if death wobble reappears at 15000 miles.

At about 17000 miles(29,000 total vehicle miles) the vehicle experienced a violent shaking when on a freeway and going over a bridge overpass bump at about 75-80mph. The shaking would not stop until braking occurred nearly causing a rear end collision from car behind. Dealer has not been able to recreate the wobble in part because they will not drive over 70mph(the local freeway speed limit). The steering gear box “fix” for this problem was clearly not a robust corrective measure if death wobble reappears at 15000 miles.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Experienced the death wobble. Front tires began to oscillate violently causing loss of steering control on a highway. Went on for ~20 seconds, almost ran off the road and would have crashed. No indications prior to event, smooth highway speed driving right up to extreme violent shaking. Fighting with the wheel to steer to stay on the road was ineffective. The only thing that saved us was it suddenly stopped on its own. Before this event there were several short, less severe instances of wobbling.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Vehicle has been leading to the right since I bought the vehicle. It is now very worse, and has cause a near miss collision with right side object. There is now severe drifting to the right, the original dealer has denied the issue since day one. Now it has been confirmed by another dealer that the steering gear box needs to be replaced by the new steel product steering gear box.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
When pressing on the breaks , the brakes required moderate amount of force to push in order for the vehicle to come to a complete stop or to yield, there is a loud hissing , leaking sound that is also heard from under the hood. This noise does not seem to go away even after taking it back to dealership to get it diagnosed, the brakes remain a little hard to press on as well. The dealership said it was a vacuum booster brake that was wearing out so they switched it but the noise remains the same and so does the forge to push down on the brakes . This is a dangerous factor to be dealing with as the brakes are something that is used constant in a vehicle to idle your car or to stop. According to the dealership this complaint is very common amongs other Jeep owners about the brake not functioning 100%, there are no warning signs or lights that ever popped up as well . Please help fix this can cause death if brakes fail at some point while I own the Jeep .
