2020 JEEP GLADIATOR Complaints

MY GLADIATOR NEEDS CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTION TO GO STRAIGHT. STEERING IS LOOSE AND THE GLADIATOR IS CONSTANTLY WANDERING RIGHT TO LEFT.

STEERING IS LOOSE. NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED EVERY 2-3 SECONDS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WINDY CONDITIONS MUCH WORSE. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. NOT FUN TO DRIVE. CONTINUALLY WANDERS. VEHICLE TWO WEEKS OLD. FACTORY STOCK.

MY 2020 JEEP GLADIATOR REQUIRES CONSTANT MICRO CORRECTIONS FROM 35 MPH AND ABOVE, EVEN MORE NOTICEABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 50+. APROX 1 INCH OR MORE DEAD SPOT IN STEERING BEFORE I GET A REACTION TO THE WHEELS. I SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT FOR 12/9 AND FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD MY DEALER IS THAT JEEP HAS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM , THEY HAVE FILED A CASE WITH FCA. I PERSONALLY WANTED IT DOCUMENTED WITH THE NHTSA, TO FORCE FCA TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, BEFORE SOME ONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED . VEHICLE CURRENTLY ONLY HAS 1500 MILES. UNACCEPTABLE FOR A $45K+ VEHICLE

LOOSE STEERING, THERE IS A DEAD SPOT IN THE STEERING WHERE YOU HAVE TO CONTINUALLY SELF CORRECT TO STAY IN A STRAIGHT LINE.

STEERING SEEMS TO WANDER. CONSTANT CORRECTION NEEDED. INQUIRED AND HAVE BEEN TOLD 'IT'S A JEEP THING' TO WHICH I WOULD SAY MY OTHER JEEP DOES NOT DRIVE LIKE THIS. MOST NOTICEABLY ON HIGHWAY SPEEDS

THE JEEP WANDERS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY MAKE CORRECTIONS JUST TO STAY IN MY LANE AND OUT OF OTHER LANES OF TRAFFIC. SEEMS SUPER SQUIRRELY WHEN THERE ARE HIGHER WINDS. ALSO, THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL MEANING THAT I CAN TURN THE WHEEL AN INCH/INCH AND A HALF AND THE TRUCK WILL NOT RESPOND WHILE DRIVING AT SAY 45MPH. NOT A VERY FUN DRIVING EXPERIENCE ESPECIALLY ON LONGER TRIPS. WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE IT. I'VE HEARD OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINING TO DEALERSHIPS, BUT DEALERSHIPS SAY, "IT'S A JEEP AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO DRIVE THIS WAY." VERY UNSAFE AND IT'LL BE A SHAME WHEN PEOPLE START DYING FROM THIS ISSUE BECAUSE FCA DIDN'T WANT TO FIX THIS.

LOOSE FEEL IN STEERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. VEHICLE WANDERS EXCESSIVELY REQUIRING CONSTANT STEERING WHEEL CORRECTION.

BOUGHT VEHICLE NEW EARLY SEPTEMBER DID NOT NOTICE ISSUE DURING ROAD TEST WHICH WAS MOSTLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS DUE TO TRAFFIC. AFTER PURCHASING AND DRIVING ON HIGHWAY IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THERE WAS AN ISSUE AND WENT ONLINE TO DISCOVER I WAS NOT ALONE WITH THE LOOSE STEERING. NOT MY FIRST JEEP AND IVE PURCHASED MORE THAN THE AVERAGE JOE IN THE PAST AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS ONE. MY DAUGHTER WILL NOT EVEN DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT SCARES HER. THE STEERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS WHERE ITS AT ITS WORST AND YOU CONSTANTLY HAVE TO BE CORRECTING TO STAY INLANE. IF ITS REALLY WINDY PEOPLE THINK THERES SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ANY HOW CLAIMS THEY HAVE IT.JEEP IS TELLING PEOPLE ITS A JEEP THING AND THERES NOTHING WRONG.

EXCESSIVE PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL WHICH RESULTS IN THE VEHICLE WANDERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

THE STEERING HAS TOO MUCH PLAY BEFORE ACTUALLY TURNING TO EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. THIS IS VERY NOTICEABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS MAKES THE TRUCK WANDER HAVING TO CORRECT IT CONSTANTLY AND WHEN HITTING THE BRAKES IT MAKES THE TRUCK PULL TO EITHER SIDE. I HAVE BEEN NEAR HITTING OTHER CARS AND CONSTANTLY CORRECTING THE WHEEL TO STAY IN LANE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I OWNED A JL THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE UNTIL THE DAMPNER RECALL WAS DONE. THE DEALER TELLS ME IS A JEEP THING AND I KNOW NO DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR IS A JEEP THING.
