NHTSA Complaint #11324318 — 2020 JEEP GLADIATOR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY GLADIATOR HAS BEEN BACK FOR STEERING RELATED ISSUES. THE FIRST WAS DRIFTING TO THE RIGHT WHICH WAS CORRECTED BY ADJUSTING THE TOE (AT 412 MILES). TODAY I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN BECAUSE AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE STEERING NEEDS CONSTANT CORRECTION TO STAY IN THE LANE. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT WAS IN FACTORY SPECS BUT THE TIRES WERE A FEW POUNDS OVER SO PERHAPS THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. I ONLY GOT TO DRIVE ABOUT 55 MPH ON THE WAY HOME BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. MY OLD 2009 WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAS NEVER HAD ANY SUCH STEERING ISSUES AND STILL TRACKS STRAIGHT AT 110K. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THAT MAYBE JEEP (FCA) HAS YET TO ACKNOWLEDGE BECAUSE THERE ARE NUMEROUS VIDEOS/BLOGS LISTING COMPLAINTS VERY SIMILAR TO MINE AND ALSO NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FILED WITH THE NHTSA. A COMPANY, SYNERGY MFG, HAS COME UP WITH A NOVEL SOLUTION DUE TO DEMAND FOR A FIX SO APPARENTLY THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR
