What owners wrote
Steering is very loose, wanders all over the road and is especially noticeable at higher speeds. It’s very exhausting constantly correcting the steering to keep straight on the road. There is a lot of play in the steering box. I’ve taken my jeep to be fixed by the dealership more times than I can count. I’ve had the steering box replaced 3 times with no improvement. This has been a day 1 issue that hasn’t been fixed.
Steering loose. Several degrees of 'play' in steering wheel. Vehicle wanders on the roadway. Condition increases at highway speed. Vehicle was taken to dealership, was confirmed everything was within spec, and condition still persists.
