FROM THE DAY THE JEEP WAS DRIVEN OFF OF THE LOT WITH 20 MILES ON IT IT HAS EXPERIENCED WHAT CAN BE DESCRIBED AS LOOSE OR UNRESPONSIVE STEERING. THERE IS NO NOTICEABLE PLAY IN STEERING WHEN STATIONARY, HOWEVER WHEN IN MOTION THERE EXISTS ABOUT 1 OR 2 DEGREES OF DEAD OR UNRESPONSIVE RANGE IN THE STEERING. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED LEFT OR RIGHT FOR 1 TO 2 DEG. THERE IS NO RESPONSE OR A DELAYED RESPONSE FROM THE WHEELS. AS MOST WRANGLERS' STEERING WILL WANDER TO SOME DEGREE, THIS CAN CAUSE DANGEROUS BODY ROLL, OVER-CORRECTION IN STEERING AND LOSS OF TRACTION IN SNOWY CONDITIONS, PARTICULARLY WHEN 4WD IS ENGAGED. THIS HAS CAUSED LOSS OF TRACTION, NEAR ACCIDENTS AND VEERING OFF OF ROADS IN MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THIS WRANGLER HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP'S SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE THE SERVICE MANAGER AND MECHANICS AGREE THAT THIS ISSUE EXISTS, HOWEVER CLAIM TO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. INTERACTIONS WITH FCA (JEEP) HAVE PRODUCED NO RESULTS AS THEY CLAIM TO BE UNAWARE OF SUCH ISSUES.

I HAVE A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE STEERING OF MY JEEP. IT FEELS AS IF I AM DRIVING ON AN AIR HOCKEY TABLE. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE RIGHT AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEAL IMMEDIATELY AFTER I COULD BARELY KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. THEY SAID THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL ON JEEPS FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY SOLD ME A VEHICLE WITH AN OPEN RECALL. THEY REPLACED ONE LOWER LINK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, NOTHING ELSE. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. BROUGHT IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. THEY GAVE ME THE STANDARD TROPE THAT IT COULD BE THE TIRES, AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. AS I HAVE SEEN ON A LOT OF JEEP FORUMS THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I WANT JEEP TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE. SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED BY NOT BEING ABLE TO KEEP THEIR VEHICLE ON THE ROAD OR EVEN IN THEIR LANE.

THE STEERING ON THIS JEEP IS DANGEROUS. IT WILL NOT RETURN TO CENTER, WHICH AT LOW SPEEDS MEANS IT WILL TURN IN A CIRCLE AND YOU HAVE TO STEER BACK WHEN MAKING A TURN. AT HIGH SPEEDS IT MEANS CONSTANTLY OVERCORRECTING AND CORRECTING TO KEEP VEHICLE IN LANE. THIS IS TACKING BACK AND FORTH AT HIGH SPEEDS TO AVOID HITTING VEHICLES OR BARRIERS ON EITHER SIDE OF YOU. TERRIFYING. THERE IS ALSO A LARGE DEAD SPOT IN THE STEERING FROM ABOUT 11 TO 1 MAKING THIS EVEN TOUGHER. JEEP TOLD ME "THIS IS AS DESIGNED." EVEN THOUGH THEY COULD SEE THE PROBLEM, THE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO TRY ANY SOLUTIONS. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED/RECALLED BEFORE IT KILLS SOMEONE. THERE SHOULD BE NO VEHICLE THAT SHOULD BE "DESIGNED" NOT TO RETURN TO CENTER AND HAVE MINIMAL STEERING CONTROL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. A SECOND PROBLEM IS THAT IT TENDS TO REALLY WANDER WITH ANY OUTSIDE FORCE. A SLIGHT BREEZE WILL MEAN YOU ARE ALL OVER THE ROAD, AND WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO RETURN TO CENTER YOU ARE AGAIN GUESSING AT CENTER AND END UP TACKING BACK AND FORTH EVEN AT LOWER SPEEDS. THE DEALER ALSO NOTED THIS.

PE25014 · Instrument Panel Cluster (ipc) Failure

Opened Oct 23, 2025 · No close date supplied

Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Electrical System: Instrument Cluster/panel

The Office of Defects Investigations (ODI) is opening a Preliminary Evaluation on 2020 Model Year Jeep Gladiators and Wranglers involving a malfunctioning Instrument Panel Clusters (IPC) resulting in the loss of important vehicle metrics and other status information.  ODI has received 89 Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQs) alleging a complete or partial loss of the IPC display while driving.  The subject vehicles' IPC display includes the speedometer, fuel gauge, engine temperature, turn signal indicators, warning light, and other gauges that are normally illuminated while the vehicle is in operation.  Loss of the fuel gauge while driving may lead to an inability to determine the fuel level and result in a loss of motive power, and the loss of other safety-related information may impede a driver’s ability to take action to prevent a safety risk.  Furthermore, an IPC that is suddenly not visible to the driver may divert the driver’s attention from the driving task, potentially causing a vehicle crash. ODI is opening this Preliminary Evaluation to evaluate the scope, severity and frequency of the alleged IPC malfunctions and to assess potential safety-related consequences. To review the ODI reports cited in the Opening Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov

EA23001 · High Pressure Fuel Pump Failure

Opened Mar 17, 2023 · No close date supplied

Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Fuel System, Diesel:delivery:fuel Pump

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE21-021 on October 14, 2021, to investigate incidents alleging a stall/loss of motive power as a result of high-pressure fuel pump failures in certain model year (MY) 2019-2020 Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500 heavy duty trucks equipped with 6.7L Cummins turbodiesel engines. During the investigation, ODI sought to determine if the related defect allegation was limited in scope to the recalled population. After review of information request response materials from both FCA and BMW, NHTSA determined that sufficient information to identify a comprehensive recall population could not be produced by FCA and BMW.During the investigation FCA filed recalls 22V406, 22E048, 22V767, and 22E087 which include vehicles not identified in the initial subject population by ODI. ODI also received recall 21V586, involving loss of motive power due to failed CP4 fuel pumps on certain BMW manufactured vehicles. An information request letter response received from BMW indicated that failed pumps on their vehicles were caused by an interaction between pump internal components and US market diesel fuel, leading to increased slip and eventual particle-generating wear surface. Additional work will be done to identify whether a similar root cause is associated with the FCA recalled population and if similar wear dynamics occur on pumps supplied to vehicle manufacturers other than those included in the recalled population.ODI has upgraded this investigation to an EA in order to 1) determine engineering specifications of internal pump components that are correlated with pump failure leading to loss of motive power or other safety related hazards, 2) identify vehicle populations equipped with alleged defective pump variants, 3) assess if vehicles equipped with alleged defective pump variants result in an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety and 4) gather and review any other relevant information related to high pressure fuel pump failure associated with the subject populations of recalls 21V586, 21V880, 21E094, 22V406, 22E048, 22V767, and 22E087.Review of the above information will allow NHTSA to confirm root cause and recall remedy viability, and identify and evaluate vehicle populations equipped with pump components that may pose an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety.The ODI reports cited above can be reviewed at: http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchNHTSAID using the following complaint identification numbers: 11257550, 11351441, 11361603, 11361616, 11365300, 11365426, 11365858, 11366401, 11372337, 11373793, 11374797, 11376793, 11377871, 11378173, 11384377, 11386063, 11387018, 11399710, 11402550, 11415339, 11418868, 11418870, 11427075, 11434276, 11436807, 11437226, 11437249, 11437273, 11437292, 11437294, 11437394, 11437399, 11437403, 11437405, 11437423, 11437528, 11437565, 11437579, 11437580, 11437590, 11437679, 11437744, 11437781, 11437842, 11437993, 11438006, 11438008, 11438121, 11438138, 11438155, 11438392, 11438629, 11439359, 11439879, 11440397, 11443030, 11446542, 11448163, 11453556, 11458918, 11460558, 11469337
