I have at least a 4ā dead spot. My steering is dangerously sloppy, Iām happy for the OP that his is nice and responsive BUT that he acknowledges others have a different situation.
Thatās kinda my point!
āIf it has a dead spot bigger than an inch...ā
I was giving credit where credit is due, he...
I have an overland with the 2ā Mopar lift and 35ā KO2s (E load) other than steering issue (that will be taken care of with new TSB..thank you Jeep!) I LOVE my JT!!
I do lots of mountain highway driving (Iām in So Cal) and it handles it fine.
I donāt understand all the finger pointing!
1) There wouldnāt be a TSB if there wasnāt an issue
2) Jeeps are meant to be modified...EX. My mods are Mopar and done at a dealership Jeep would need to prove your mods affected the parts, not āsuspectā it...PROVE
3) People arenāt asking about or...
The first thing Iāll say is āHell Ya!ā
I could not be more excited to get this announcement (came out on my B-Day Iām taking that as a sign lol!)
I called my local dealer, said I was told there was a fix for the loose steering on the JT and that Iād like to bring mine in for the parts...
Iām sorry! Itās really unbelievable that they wonāt even ātryā to fix the issue. I think the problem is so many people willing to shrug it off as āa Jeep thingā when itās not affecting them, or even when it does.
My fingers are crossed for you, hopefully after the storm theyāll do the right thing! Please keep us updated, this is essentially what my dealer did as well, street driving around a residential/business block, instead of highway driving at speeds.
I wonāt flip out, but I certainly donāt appreciate you putting the blame on me Or anyone as the purchaser, really.
The details, since youāre ācuriousā:
There was no way I would have any idea before purchasing, I drove three vehicles prior, locally, in town driving as I was NOT aware there was...
Thank you I appreciate the clarification, Iām willing to admit Iām a bit defensive about the JT situation cause as much as I love it, Iām hating it! Damn technology lol...the timing of posts, because Iāve always thought you were a champion of our cause, looks like I jumped the gun and you still...
Iām really happy your Gladiator drives to your satisfaction and is SAFE, I truly am.
I wish everyoneās did.
Mine does not, and is not. Frankly if you think Iām complaining because Iām a woman, good grief! Iām a Small business owner, baseball, football, LAX mom, I shoot, camp, horseback ride...
@JeepCares
What do you suggest?
Iāve been asked to do a. Photoshoot next week, with girls (women) and their Jeeps for a well known 4x4 Off-roading magazine!
I am the ONLY person in a gladiator....I WILL BE Jeep Gladiatorās representation for all to read...Cool right? NOPE!
āCause Iām ABOUT...
The dealer I purchased from (over 3 hours away) installed the lift, my wheels were delayed (back ordered) so I drove the three hours back on the original stocks wheels and tires, it drove HORRIBLY once on the highway, we took side roads the first 175 miles, to ābreak inā but than had to get on...
