Active Driving Assist - Hugs Left Side

Is anyone else experiencing the ADA hugging the left side of the lane when activated? Mine drives very steady just off center to the left. I took it in to be recalibrated and was told this is a common issue but there is no fix at this time. The dealership said they have checked several new ones not yet sold and they all hug to the left of the lane. They even opened a STAR inquiry and was told there is no current fix. Just curious if anyone has heard anything differently or if anyone has experienced the problem. TIA. (2021 GCL SR)

Have the same issue...been present since purchase. (2021 JGC Overland). Been inspected at two dealers and have been told "operating as designed". One tech told me Jeep has a lot of work to do with the ADA as he has a few vehicles in for review every week with customer complaints about the ADA tech.

Yep.

Sometimes mine hugs the centerline.

Sometimes it just drives right over the right side shoulder when the road curves gently to the left.

Sometimes it weaves back and forth within the lane like a drunken near-sighted toddler with amnesia. It's as if it's looking for both line markers, but has to drive nearly on top of the line to find it, and then it forgets where the other line was, and swerves over to the opposing side, and just keeps swerving back and forth. If a cop were behind me, I would definitely get pulled over for suspected DUI. It's that bad.

And then other times, it drives perfectly straight.

I've had it swerving on perfect interstate pavement on a clear sunny day, and then after getting off and getting gas and cycling the ignition and getting back on the same pavement, it drives perfectly straight. So it seems like either a software problem, or, because I have SO MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, it may be something wrong with the vehicle wiring harness, or one of the modules. It's a shame, because it's a really nice system when it works. It's just not reliable, which is really bad for a safety-critical 'self driving' system.

Mine hugs the center too but it does do curves and straight line really well, long as the markings on the road are bright and clear. I don't like it hugging the center line so I just use lane assist instead of the driving assist and have the warning vibration and nudge assist set at maximum. When using lane assist, keeping the Jeep in the center of the lane gives me green on the display. When I meet an oncoming vehicle I mover over to the right and the display will show a yellow right line but I have to get almost on top of the right side road line marker before the warning goes off and the steering starts to nudge the vehicle back to the left.
