What owners of this build wrote

Steering Oct 2024
Just purchased a 2020 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited 4 door. At low speeds, the vehicle wanders a little on the road. At highway speeds, in traffic, the vehicle swerves towards passing vehicles. In heavy traffic, it becomes a white-knuckle experience trying not to hit or be hit by…
Power Train Oct 2023
There is an open Safety Recall on my vehicle with no fix. See 19A/NHTSA 23V-116. Stellantis (formerly FCA) has refused to reimburse me for aftermarket clutch replacement in the amount of $1527.10
Unknown Or Other Oct 2022
Both drivers and passenger side sun visors have fallen off at the hinge with minimal use. Vehicle is under 60k miles and bought new
Steering Aug 2020
Steering wandering at highway speeds. Steering wheel feels looser and looser in comparison to when I first bought the vehicle. At only 3k miles the steering should not feel this loose
