What owners wrote
The 2018 jeep wrangler began having problems in oct of 2019 with a racing engine and electrical issues, may of 2020 the car had severe electrical issues and the dealership could not find anything wrong. The car was at the dealership for 5 days. In june the same electrical problems occurred and it was at the dealership for 6 days. When the car was returned to us the dealership said not to drive it very far. On july 23rd. The car went rogue in reverse at 60 miles an hour backwards.
Just got this jeep used from jeep dealership back in july. I usually don't drive over 60 because of the speed limits around here. But I just did when I went to go visit family 2 hours away and my steering wheel seemed to lock up when I went anywhere from 60/70MPH. I had to jerk the steering wheel slightly to one side so I could drive on a bended portion of the road. It's not listed as a recall but this is seriously concerning to me.
