Consumer Description
WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, WENT OVER A ROUGH SURFACE ON THE ROAD AND THE GLADIATOR STARTER SHAKING AS IF I HAD HAD A BLOW-OUT. ONCE I SLOWED DOWN IT STABILIZED. HOWEVER, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED TWICE IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA. UPON RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, I'VE COME TO LEARN THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" THAT HAPPENS ON JEEP OFF-ROAD VEHICLES, WHICH MAKES IT ALL THE MORE CRITICAL THAT NHTSA REQUIRE CHRYSLER-FIAT TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. THANK YOU.
