What owners wrote
I was driving on the interstate highway when I heard a loud pop and saw an arc flash and pulled to the side emergency lane. I then saw flames dripping from my jeep and the entire front end of the jeep went up in flames and caught fire.
2018 jeep wrangler has terrifying steering issues. Consistently while steering a highway curve at 40-55 MPH my jeep steering disengages and results in an unsafe inability to maintain the steering column. The steering can be described as loose and commonly described by passengers as the unsettling feeling that the frame of the vehicle is coming off the wheels. Please look into this safety issue. I have not been injured yet but if this continues I don't think it will remain that way.
