Consumer Description
JEEP WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD WITH VERY LITTLE STEERING PLAY IN THE WHEEL. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE GOING 40 OR 80MPH, IT WANDERS. MY WIFE DROVE IT THE OTHER DAY AND SAID SHE FELT LIKE EVERYONE WOULD THINK SHE WAS DRUNK. I TOOK THIS INTO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND THEY SAID IT WAS WITHING MANUFACTURERS SPEC. ALL STEERING AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS WERE TIGHT ACCORDING TO THEIR DIAGNOSIS. THEY DID NOT SEE AN ISSUE AND THIS WANDERING WAS NORMAL. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD WITH GUSTY WINDS AT 60MPH. WE ALSO HAVE EXPERIENCED AN AC RELATED ISSUE WHERE THE AC WILL BE BLOWING COLD, THEN START TO SMELL A WARM MUSTY SMELL AND HEAT WILL BILLOW OUT FROM UNDER THE DASH ON BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGER FEET. OPENING UP THE GLOVEBOX SEEMS TO ALLOW THE HEAT TO POUR OUT AND THEN THE JEEP WILL RETURN TO NORMAL COMFORT COOLING. DOES NOT MATTER IF THE VEHICLE IS ON AC, AUTO AC OR RECICULATION. VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN DRIVING LONG TRIPS FOR SEVERAL HOURS. SPEED DOES NOT MATTER, BUT APPEARS TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN DRIVEN FOR SEVERAL HOURS.
