Consumer Description

This is a known issue with Jeep Gladiators and Wranglers. It’s called the “Death Wobble”. While driving at highway speed(70mph), I hit a bump which caused the entire vehicle to shake including the steering wheel. Once I braked and got the speed below 60 mph, the shaking ceased. This happened close to ten times on the particular 3 hour drive. I knew this was a possibility to happen since my son also has a Gladiator and it happened to his vehicle. It’s so prevalent there are YouTube videos out there showing it happening. This should be a recall.
