What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2019 jeep wrangler. While driving, the contact heard a loud popping noise and the entire console screen failed. The contact stopped and restarted the vehicle, but the entire console screen still failed to function. The contact was still able to drive the vehicle. In addition, the contact stated that after the vehicle being parked for two days at an airport lot, the vehicle was later started and the entire console screen failed and the power steering seized.
The steering in very loose at highway speeds allowing vehicle to wander all over. Very hard to keep in traffic lanes. Dealer has been unable to fix since new. Less than 1500 miles on unit now. The jeep is very dangerous to drive and all other new jeep wranglers tested feel the same way. All older models tested were a lot tighter and easier to control at highway speeds.
