Good points, and I do think a lot of the steering complaints are coming from first time Jeep owners. Regardless of the steering improvements (electronic steerings an improvement?) They are still piloting relatively flat faced and broad sided vehicle down the road. Even my JK brand new had some small amount of wandering but it was all a hydraulic system versus what the JL is utilizing. A good amount of what I have seen are people new to the Wrangler that are expecting race care steering characteristics on a live axle brick of a vehicle. I am sure the engineers went as far as they could feasibly take the design without compromising the off road capability. It's always a trade off unfortunately (depending who you ask).
Plenty of white knuckle highway driving when the winds were blowing hard in my JK. Probably what keeps me coming back to owning Jeep's is the thrill that you could be horribly mangled or killed at even the slightest gust of wind lol. I too haven't driven a JL strictly because I know I am weak and won't say no to taking one home. I'll regret it when the JT is available so I steer clear of Jeep dealerships. I know better.
LOL yea high winds and mountain passes have given me some butt puckering of drives. That and long open ranges with big cross winds on a two lane road and semis blowing by in the other direction and almost pushing me off the road. I really really really hope the JT with its longer track, and ram rear suspension feels more planted.
