2020 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

RIGHT HAND LATCH FOR SOFT TOP RELEASES ONCE YOU PASS A SEMI TRUCK WHEN YOU ARE DOING OVER 70MPH OR HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD TRAVELING INTO THE WIND.

UP TO 2 INCHES OF PLAY IN STEERING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO WANDER AND REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION TO KEEP STRAIGHT

BRAND NEW JLUR FIRST ROAD TRIP, GOT LESS THEN 500 MILES OUT OF CO INTO HAYS,KS. VEHICLES HAS LEES THEN 5000 MILES, WAS PASSING A VEHICLE AT 68 MPH. LOST ALL FORWARD GEARS, GOT A CODE FOR VALVE BODY SILENOID HIGH VOLTAGE. JEEPCARES DID NOTHING FOR A TOW. IT'S A LITTLE SAD YOU PAY $55,000+ FOR A VEHICLE, JUST TO HAVE A VEHICLE SIT IN THE SHOP WITH NO LOANER. TRANSMISSION IS ON A 2 MONTH BACK ORDER. WORD OF ADVICE STAY AWAY FROM ANY THE NEW JL/JT MODEL JEEPS.

THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER DOESN'T REACH THE OUTER PORTIONS OF THE WINDSHIELD WHICH RESULTS IN DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS IN COLD WEATHER. I HAVE TO TURN THE HEAT ALL THE WAY ON HIGH AND THE FAN ALL THE WAY UP TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS HURTING MY EYES AND IT STILL DOESN'T PREVENT ICE ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES. I HAVE TO LEAN TO THE RIGHT TO SEE THROUGH MY WINDSHIELD. THIS HAPPENS WHILE SITTING STILL, DRIVING, ETC. IT HAPPENS ANYTIME THE WEATHER IS BELOW FREEZING AND THERE ARE WET CONDITIONS

MY VEHICLE IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE SAME RECALL AS OTHER JEEPS BUT HAS THE SAME STEERING VIBRATION DAMPENER DEFECT. AFTER HITTING A BRIDGE SEAM ACROSS THE HIGHWAY OR A POTHOLE THE WHEEL AND STEERING COLUMN SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY FORCING ME TO SLOW AND ATTEMPT TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY.

MY 2020 JEEP WRANGLER JLUR HAS A DEAD SPOT IN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT IS ABOUT 1.5 TO 2 INCHES OF STEERING TURN WITH NO RESPONSE. IT IS VERY HARD TO KEEP IT FROM OVER STEERING ESPECIALLY AT SPEEDS MORE THAN 50 MPH. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY MAKE MICRO-ADJUSTMENTS TO KEEP IT IN MY LANE. WHEN LARGE TRUCKS LIKE 18 WHEELERS PASS ME IT GETS VERY DICEY. I'VE GOTTEN SCARED TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY JEEP NOW. THERE IS NO EXCUSE AT ALL FOR A VEHICLE TO DRIVE THIS POORLY. I PAID NEARLY $60K FOR THIS CAR AND IT ONLY HAS 5,000 MILES ON IT THUS FAR. THE PROBLEM STARTED AT ABOUT 2,700 MILES. I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD MY FIRST OIL CHANGE YET. I HAVE HEARD MANY OTHERS WITH JL'S HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. FCA NEEDS TO RECALL THE STEERING ON JL WRANGLERS BEFORE PEOPLE GET INJURED OR DIE FROM THIS STEERING ISSUE. IT'S NOT SAFE!!

I PURCHASED THE JEEP 7/4/2020 NEW OFF THE LOT WITH 9 MILES ON IT. I NOTICED RIGHT AWAY DRIVING HOME THAT THE CAR WANDERED A LOT AND I SPENT A LOT OF TIME CORRECTING THE STEERING TO STAY IN THE LANES. IT WAS SCARY. I HAD EVEN MORE DIFFICULTY ON THE BACK ROADS HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA AND ESPECIALLY ON THE FREEWAY WITH ANY KIND OF WIND. I SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THE JEEP BOARDS AND FOUND THE TSB BULLETIN THAT CAME OUT ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ALUMINUM STEERING BOX WITH 2 SCREWS WITH THE STEEL STEERING BOX WITH THE 4 SCREWS. I TOOK IT IN THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER AND THE BOX ARRIVED MID-OCTOBER DUE TO THE BACKLOG. IT WAS INSTALLED BUT IT MADE LITTLE DIFFERENCE. I HAD OTHER WARRANTY ISSUES WITH THE JEEP AND CONTINUED TO ASK EACH TIME I WENT IN AND WAS TOLD THAT'S JUST JEEPS AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I HAD AN OLDER JEEP AS A RENTAL FOR A WHOLE WEEK AND IT DIDN'T HAVE THIS STEERING ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHO COMPARED THE NOTES OF WHAT WAS DONE AND CONFIRMED THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO AS PROTOCOL WAS FOLLOWED. THE CAR IS DANGEROUS. I CAN'T LET MY KIDS DRIVE IT AS IT IS REALLY ONLY FOR AN ADVANCED DRIVER WHO CAN DEAL WITH THE CONSTANT WANDERING IN AND OUT OF THE LANES. I HAVE A VIDEO I CAN SUBMIT BUT IT LOOKS LIKE MOV FILES ARE NOT ACCEPTED. PLEASE ADVISE IF YOU WANT A COPY OF THE MOVIE AFTER THE STEERING BOX REPLACEMENT.

THE JEEP WANDERS SO I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT STEERING ALSO IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT AND DARTS BACK AND FORTH WEN IM PASSING OTHER CARS OR ON WINDY DAYS I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT MY WIFE WONT DRIVE IT AT ALL I EVEN GOT A FOR WEEL ALIGNMENT IT DIDN'T HELP THE PROBLEM THEY NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM

WHILE DRIVING ON HWY 65 MPH, I NOTICED MY STEERING GETTING HARD TO CONTROL, I THEN REALIZED THAT IT WAS LOCKED IN THE STRAIGHT FORWARD POSITION, AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF FORCEFULLY TRYING TO TURN THE WHEEL IT FINALLY BROKE FREE, I EXITED THE HWY AND WENT STRAIGHT TO THE HOUSE. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME. QUIT SCARRY IN TRAFFIC I MUST SAY. IT DOES DRIVE NORMAL NOW, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN DRIVEN AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. EACH INSTANCE REQUIRES IMMEDIATE STOPPAGE OF VEHICLE AND THE NEED TO SEEK EMERGENCY ROAD SIDE AREA TO PULL OVER ONTO FOR SAFETY. THIS FRIGHTENING EFFECT OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING.
