Owner report 11579173 · 2024-03-24 (March 24, 2024)

Steering wheel has excessive play while driving, forcing driver to constantly correct when driving down the highway. Jeep will drift out of lane on its own putting all drivers at risk. From time to time the steering gets better for one trip but then back to being sloppy the next drive. One dealership said it needs steering box replaced, the place which I bought it from new, said it is “just a Jeep thing.” Both dealerships said that they checked other steering components: tire pressure, ball joints, etc. No warning lights have come about at…

Owner report 11711611 · 2026-01-17 (January 17, 2026)

I have two open serious recalls on my Jeep Wrangler 4xe. There is a recall for the batter/charging system so I cannot plug it in to the charger I purchased for my home. I also have a continuing issue with my gas tank - it will not fill and the nozzel clicks off even though I have next to no gas in the tank. I can't charge the car, yet can't fill it with gas. I have brought it back to the dealership 3 or 4 times in the less than two years of owning the car. There is also a recall that effects the engine so I am scared to drive it on the hig…
