WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING HAS A LARGE AMOUNT OF PLAY, FAILS TO HOLD A STRAIGHT LINE, AND REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION. AT HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE SPEEDS, IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE DESIRED LANE ESPECIALLY AROUND CURVES AND RESTRICTED LANES. STEERING ASSIST SYSTEM FEELS AS THOUGH IT GOES IN AND OUT DAILY. IN ADDITION, VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT RETURN TO CENTER WHEN TURNING AND REQUIRES DRIVER CORRECTION AFTER TURNING. DEALERSHIP HAS INSPECTED VEHICLE AND NOTICED SOME DRIVABILITY ISSUES. A TSB 19-002-19 WAS DONE FOR A STEERING DAMPER ISSUE, BUT ADDITIONAL STEERING ISSUES WERE NOTICED. 'FLOATING ON THE FRONT END' WAS REPORTED BY TEST DRIVING TECH BUT AFTER CHECKING ALIGNMENT CLAIMED EVERYTHING WAS IN SPEC. NO RESOLUTIONS OFFERED THROUGH DEALERSHIP OR ESCALATION WITH FCA. I WORRY ABOUT THE ABILITY OF THIS VEHICLE TO STAY ON THE ROAD UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CORRECTIONS.

2020 JEEP RUBICON UNLIMITED PULLS TO THE RIGHT AT SPEEDS ABOVE 35MPH AND NEEDS CONSTANT CORRECTING TO STAY STRAIGHT ON A FLAT PAVED SURFACE. THIS IS NOT A ROAD CROWNING ISSUE, HAPPENS ON SURFACE STREETS OR HIGHWAY BUT MOST NOTICEABLE ON HIGHWAYS. YOU CAN FEEL THE RESISTANCE OF THE STEERING WHEEL THAT WANTS TO NATURALLY BE IN A RIGHT PULLING POSITION. FURTHERMORE, YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN BALANCE BY TURNING TO THE LEFT AND WATCHING THE STEERING WHEEL COME BACK TO CENTER...TURN TO THE RIGHT AND IT BARELY MOVES BACK TO THE LEFT...IT WANTS TO STAY RIGHT. JEEP SAYS THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM, YET IT HAS BEEN REPORTED SINCE 2018. INFERIOR PARTS AND THE INABILITY TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS HAS PERPETUATED THIS ISSUE. THE NHTSA MUST FORCE FCA TO CREATE A PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. SEE ALSO 11258580. *DSY*DT*DT*JB*JB*DT*JB*DT CONSUMER STATED OLD ALUMINUM GEAR BOX WAS REPLACED AND PCM SOFTWARE UPDATED.

VEHICLE IS WANDERING ALL OVER THE LANE, STEERING FEELS "LOOSE" AND IT IS HARD TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT IN LANE. HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS BUT IT'S MORE NOTICEABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (50-70MPH). I HAD "NEAR MISS" WHEN DRIVING WEST ON I-10 BEFORE BAYTOWN WHERE ROAD WORKS ARE HAPPENING AND THE ROAD HAS BEEN BARRICADED ON BOTH SIDES MAKING THE ROAD TOO NARROW. SO WHEN DRIVING SIDE BY SIDE WITH AN 18WHEELER IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BE PRECISE AND KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT. I HAD TO BRAKE HARD TO LET THE 18WHEELER GO AND TRY TO AVOID ANOTHER ONE PASSING ME AND BEING IN THE SAME SITUATION. IF YOU HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT, THE VEHICLE WON'T DO THE SAME, SO YOU HAVE TO GIVE CONSTANT INPUT TO AVOID GOING TO OTHER LANES. I'VE FOUND MASSIVE COMPLAINTS ON JEEP FORUMS AND YOUTUBE. SOME VIDEOS ARE ACTUALLY LEADING TO A SOLUTION BY REPLACING THE STEERING BOX, FLASHING THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE OR REPLACING THE TRAC BAR AS WELL, ETC. I'M ABOUT TO VISIT THE DEALERSHIP FOR SECOND TIME AFTER THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED ON FIRST VISIT. ONLY ALIGNMENT WAS DONE AND THEY SAID THE STEERING ISSUE WAS "NORMAL" AND THAT ALL NEW WRANGLERS WERE LIKE THAT. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

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
