NHTSA Complaint #11553527 — 2019 JEEP WRANGLER

The steering wheel locks up in which it makes it very hard to turn. This usually happens when the vehicle has been sitting for hours and then is driven. Also the weather is usually cold when this happens. Initial driving is hard and it continues for a few minutes. When driving around a roundabout the wheel almost did not straighten out and I would have been going into the curb. This is a dangerous situation in which it has occurred on a regular straight road. The incident occurs at any speed. After putting the vehicle in drive, it is hard to maneuver at the start of being in a parking position. There are no warning lights or error codes that reflect an issue. The dealership has checked it out twice and cannot reproduce the issue. I stated 11/4/23 as the date of occurrence but it has happened many times since late 2022.
