Consumer Description

2020 JEEP GLADIATOR - RUBICON HAS SIGNIFICANT 'WANDERING' ISSUES. I'VE DRIVEN WRANGLERS FOR YEAR AND HAVE NEVER HAD STEERING ISSUES THIS APPARENT. THIS HAPPENS WHILE ABOVE 25 MPH AND CONTINUES THROUGH 60+MPH. SIGNIFICANTLY HAVING TO ADJUST STEERING THAT THROWS YOU ALL OVER THE ROAD. I CANNOT TAKE MY HANDS OFF THE WHEEL WITHOUT FEELING LIKE I AM GOING TO CRASH THE VEHICLE. I NOTED THE ISSUES THE DAY AFTER PURCHASE, SENT AN EMAIL TO THE DEALERSHIP SAYING I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH MY 6 MONTH OLD IN THE VEHICLE. MY WIFE ALSO COMMENTED AFTER HER FIRST DAY DRIVING IT AND ASKED ME 'WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE STEERING'. SHE ALSO FELT EXTREMELY UNSAFE DRIVING IT. JEEPS REPLY WAS ' WE ARE SORRY YOU REGRET YOUR PURCHASE, BUT THAT'S HOW JEEPS DRIVE'... AND DID NOT OFFER ME A SOLUTION. I ASKED TO BUY MY TRUCK BACK THAT I TRADED AND THEY SAID NO. VEHICLE IS ALL OVER THE ROAD, CONSISTENTLY HAVING TO OVERCORRECT STEERING. WENT TO JEEP FORUMS TO SEE IF OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY APPARENT PROBLEM AND JEEP DOES NOT OFFER A FIX, TELLING PEOPLE TO REPLACE STOCK PARTS WITH STEERING STABILIZERS AND BRACKETS TO HELP STABILIZE THE RIDE. I AM NOT SPENDING $1000 ON AFTER MARKET PARTS AFTER SPENDING $60,000 ON A VEHICLE. JEEP REFUSED THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE, WHICH ARE COMPLAINTS THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD AS WELL. I CURRENTLY HAVE A CASE OPEN WITH FCA AND HOPEFULLY WILL HAVE A REMEDIATION SOON...
