Absolutely. If Jeep could let you turn it off permanently then they'd have to re-rate the fuel economy and emissions numbers. And FCA desperately needs every fraction of an MPG they can get.

This text is from the TSB for the steering box, so I expect you have additional issues: " NOTE: This Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) repair will NOT correct a sustained steering shake, shimmy or vibration. Video aid has been developed for this issue. Refer to the detailed service procedures...

I don't have my Jeep registered for UConnect messages. I probably should set that up. I'm going to pull out my scanner to see if any codes are present. I'm still waiting for my first oil change where I will discuss this and my hope they will do the steering TSB. I'm a long way from the nearest...

Keep in mind FCA does not get to decide if this becomes a recall or not. The NHTSA will have the final say. FCA has been caught diverting recall repair parts to keep building new vehicles before and got their hand slapped for it. Obviously they will care even less about TSB warranty recall...

I've had several Jeeps and other trucks as well. When the tank is low, it may read incorrectly. My Dakota was famous for the fuel level bouncing up and down as I accelerated and braked as gas sloshed around in the tank. But it didn't drop to ZERO fuel and stay there for an extended time on any...

I'm not talking about a gauge that's reading less than what's there. I'm talking about a gauge that, for an extended time, registered no fuel. That tells me the float is either sticking or there's a communication problem (both of which are situations I expect can get worse over time).

No, this isn't normal. I've never had another vehicle, Jeep or not, fail to recognize there was fuel in the tank for 20 minutes as I was driving up and down hill. Either the float was stuck or the system wasn't getting the reading from the sending unit.

Twice my Gladiator has decided it has no (or very little) gas. In each case, I was around 1/4 of a tank. Only after several miles did it read the correct level. Obviously it's some sort of glitch and will likely only get worse with time.

File a complaint with NHTSA if you feel this is a safety issue. That might force FCA to recall them if appropriate.

If you aren't getting help from Jeep, put some pressure on them. File a complaint with NHTSA. Mention the TSB and the parts not available. This could easily turn into a recall with enough pressure. And FCA has been in trouble before for providing parts to build new vehicles but not for recalls...

Year end deals aren't always the big deal you expect, 4 years ago I was buying a new Durango. I had picked out a leftover silver 2016 Durango R/T. Dealer asked if I really wanted silver and I told him another color would be OK. He ended up making a deal on 2017 Black Durango R/T with the exact...

I've had no problem dealing with Hayes in the past. I'd bought a Challenger and a Durango there and got good prices. Just never has service beyond an oil change. I'll give Jasper Jeep a try first. Thanks!

I just moved back to Georgia from Pittsburgh after 3 years. I bought a Gladiator up there this past spring and I'm finally getting closes to an oil change and more importantly wanting the steering TSB done. My Gladiator is stock other than BFG KM2 255/75/17 tires on JK wheels. I'm looking for a...

Crap rolls downhill. FCA treats dealers poorly (reducing pay on warranty work vs. customer paid work where they legally can). FCA sources cheap parts even on expensive vehicles which kicks the problem to the dealer from the manufacturer. Then the dealer treats the customer poorly and we wonder why.

In the past few months I've made the trip from Pittsburgh, PA to Jasper, GA in three vehicles. First was my 2018 Ram 1500. Nice drive, plenty of room. Second was the 2017 Wrangler 2 door. Not as nice as the Ram, but it was an up level trim (Winter Edition) and the seats are very comfortable...

People blame the stop/start for causing issues. But it isn't. It's a symptom. What happens is the computer detects a problem with the engine. As soon as it detects a fault, even sometimes before it lights the check engine light, the computer shuts down the stop/start system. Failure of the...

I've been running BFG KM2s on JK wheels on my Gladiator. For my trip south from PA to GA, I put the stock wheels and tires on and it for the long drive and it was worse. Sure surprised me. Now I've got to figure which dealer I want to go to for this steering TSB issue. I live near Jasper Jeep...

FCA was really bad, even with recalls. Some years back, there was a problem with rear minivan windows. They were building new minivans with the new parts, but the recall stated they would disconnect the rear power window until parts were available. They made owners wait months on the recall...

I towed a 6x12 enclosed U-Haul trailer when I moved from Pittsburgh to North Georgia two weeks ago. I didn't weigh it, but I'm sure I was well under my tow rating. What I considered mild steering issues were really tiring with the trailer out back (full or empty, didn't matter). Yes, my gas...

Look over the paperwork. Many work orders have an option to check if you want your old parts back. If you signed a work order that says you didn't want the old parts back, it will be harder to make your case that you are entitled to them.
