Example complaints

“While driving to nashville, tn we were driving between 65 - 73 MPH with speed control and hit slower traffic it felt like the vehicle lost power steering. The steering was hard to handle on the Jeep. It would pull either left or right and wouldn't seem to go straight. We could stop the vehicle and turn it off and the steering would be fine again for a while. I took my Jeep back to the dealer on december 2, 2016 and as of today december 27, 2016 they still have it. I don't know if it is the power steering or the lift suspension but it most definitely is a safety problem. …”
