What owners wrote
Test drove a 2020 jeep sahara on 8/7/2020 and drove good. Bought a white one but was not ready so it was going to get delivered the next day at my house. White 2020 jeep sahara was delivered on 8/8/2020 at around 12:00 pm. Salesman showed all features and left. I did a test drive around 5:00pm, wen on the highway and steering was really off, did a turn around to come back home. At 55 pmh I tried to change lanes and I I lost control and ended up in a ditch.
Driving fully stock at speeds near 60 MPH on highways, car seems to want to steer dangerously either right or left & the play in the steering greatly increases & needs some correction to avoid likely collisions.
