NHTSA Complaint #11331257 — 2020 JEEP GLADIATOR

THE STEERING ON MY JEEP JTR (GLADIATOR RUBICON) IS SLOPPY. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE TRUCK WANTS TO WANDER AND REQUIRES LOTS OF CORRECTION TO MAINTAIN A GIVEN PATH. ON WINDY DAYS OR WHEN SEMI TUCKS PASS BOTH HANDS ARE REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES JUST TO MAINTAIN A GIVEN PATH. RESEARCHING ONLINE REVELS LOTS OF COMPLAINTS EXIST WITH THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE VIDEOS (AND I HAVE INCLUDED PICTURES OF MY JTR) SHOWING THE STEERING BOX MOVING OFF THE FRAME WHEN THE STEERING IS ACTUATED. SYNGERY MANUFACTURING HAS DEVELOPED A BRACE FOR THE TRACK BAR AND THE SECTOR SHAFT THAT ELIMINATES THIS PLAY AND ALMOST ALL PEOPLE WHO HAVE PAID TO INSTALL THIS AFTERMARKET BRACE REPORT MUCH IMPROVED STEERING. THE COMBINATION OF COMPLAINTS, VIDEOS, PICTURES AND AN ALREADY DEVELOPED "FIX" - NOT TO MENTION PERSONAL EXPERIENCE DRIVING MY VEHICLE - ALL POINTS TO A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THIS STEERING SETUP. JEEP NEEDS TO RECTIFY THIS IMMEDIATELY. *TR
