Like Mark said,, do not let FCA off the hook! Keep bringing it back and hounding them until they get it right. You deserve to have a Jeep that is not a death trap! I understand its inconvenient and frustrating but you cannot let them win. and @DunnMan I think that set up would be great and the...
It is pretty sad when you drive two brand new vehicles and they both have crappy steering. You are absolutely correct in saying that this is not a "Jeep thing". Whoever says that is stupid as far as I am concerned. I hope your JT comes in with no issues at all and hope your steering is fine. I...
Holy Shitake! They should have reimbursed you as soon as it became a recall. I think dealers know that people would rather fix some things themselves rather than go through the hassle of the dealer, so they make things difficult on purpose. I was one of those people until my steering got bad...
The thing that bothers me the most is that FCA and these dealers know bad steering boxes are out there yet they give people shit about after market parts causing the issue! I mean own up to your freaking product and fix what is broke no matter what else is installed! I hate that you are having...
Did they replace it? Or was it just a recommendation by the tech? They need to change it out and get a new box in there for you. Keep us posted on what happens and how your JT drives.
I would bring it in to the dealer and have them drive your JT at highway speeds. It sounds to me like your steering box is bad. Putting the Fox Stabilizer on and even the sector shaft brace are just band-aids covering the real problem. I also bought both of those items to install but I brought...
Definitely functional. I am not sure if I like the squared look or the more old school rounded look? I will keep my eyes out for any that I see and post them here. thank you for that one you sent.
My JT is basically all stock besides the Mopar 2" lift that was installed at the dealer before purchase. They did try to blame it on the lift at first even calling it a 4" lift. I remained calm and gave them facts and told the foreman that we needed to take a ride. I threw him the keys and said...
I totally understand that logic LoJac. My steering was bad but not horrible since day one but it took me until 10,000 miles to finally bring it in. I wanted to be armed with as much information about this problem that I could. This Forum helped out tremendously as far as gathering intel about...
I almost cant contain my excitement about how my Jeep drives now!! Tell them to change the steering box and don't mess with anything else. I could have had my JT back a week ago if my dealer would have listened to me. They finally figured it out but a whole lot of time could have been saved had...
I picked my JT up with the new steering box installed yesterday evening. It is a night and day difference than before. This is how it should have drove from the factory. I am thankful I did not have to go through 3 or 4 boxes before getting a good one. My JT now drives amazing! I will keep you...
I am sorry to hear this happen to you. Your wife is right, it is not safe at all. Tell the dealer to check the box first and foremost. That way a bunch of time trying other things is not wasted. I wish you luck and hope your dealer takes care of the problem for you without a bunch of hassle.
My new box was installed yesterday afternoon. The shop foreman will be driving my JT today to see if the problem is fixed. I really hope I don't have to do this 4 more times, that would drive ne nuts. Again, thank you for sharing your experience with us and giving us hope that there is a...
I am driving a brand new Jeep Wrangler JL while waiting for my steering box to come in and be installed. If my JT drove like this Wrangler I would be tickled shitless! It still drives like a solid front axle Jeep but is nowhere near how my JT drove. Are the steering boxes pretty much the same...
