2021 JEEP GLADIATOR Wheels Problems

Death wobble, while traveling down any road that has a bump or is not smooth as glass I get the front end wobble, the only way to stop it is to slow down, have had a couple near miss accidents because of this. This jeep is all original, second time in shop was told all original parts are fine no wear no loose parts. They are putting a steering damper on it. Was told by the dealership where it was purchased “it’s a jeep thing”. Because of the wobble had to replace tires because of uneven wear, had tires rebalanced multiple times trying to fix issue, now another fix to see if it works.

Several times a day when I drive over un-even pavement the front end, wheels, & steering wheel start violently shaking and become uncontrollable to the point other vehicles move out of the way. It will only stop when speed is lowered low 5 mph. This has happened between 25-40 mph. Too afraid to drive at highway speeds. This vehicle is a 2021 with only 12,800 miles on it. Very scary situation to be in, especially for a vehicle I bought new and have never taken off road.

This Jeep has the death wobble. When you’re going 70+ miles an hour and hit a bump. It violently shakes and you have to slow down to 55 quickly for it to stop. This has been an ongoing issue and I have even put a new set of tires on and it’s continued. This is a known issue but there’s not been a recall. I had a previous 2012 Jeep and it did the death wobble on that as well.

Vehicle is 2 years old, with only 21,000 miles. Driving on the freeway, above 65mph, the vehicle wobbles violently if you hit a pot hole or a small bump. It jerks the steering wheel very hard from side to side, making it very difficult to stay within your lane. The only way to make the extreme wobble go away is to slow down significantly (<40mph) or sometimes come to a complete stop. A simple internet search and you will find MANY complaints about this with Jeeps, and it is commonly referred to as the "Death Wobble". PLEASE help us consumers put an end to this terrifying issue. I was on my way from Austin to San Antonio (1.5-hour drive) and was almost involved in two accidents because of this. Very few drivers expect for the vehicle they are following behind of to slam on their brakes, which is exactly what...

“Death Wobble” at Highway Speeds > 45 MPH. The steering wheel begins to “Wobble” after hitting a pot hole or uneven surface such as a bridge joint. I have taken it in and was told everything is to factory specs. This is not the case and I have video. The latest incident occurred Saturday Nov 5th.

Axle has leaked for a second time. No notification. Grease starts to seep out of the right rear passenger side onto the brake rotor and wheel. Fixed at 6800 miles. Happening again at 8500. Was without the truck for a month the first time. There is no warning when this happens.

Leaking axle , transmission fluid leaking onto wheel and brakes. Was deemed unsafe to drive, parts on back order. Car swerves hard to right doesn’t steer straight

Purchased vehicle 8/20/21. Car was brought into dealership for repairs to the rear axel leaking. This seems to be a huge problem with gladiator trucks and feel this should be considered a recall. The part needed to fix is on back order with no eta date which is even more concerning. I have a brand new car and I have to drive with it not operating at 100%. There is zero reason for this. If the part is on back order with no eta this is clearly happening g to a lot of other gladiator owners. I discovered leak due to Jeep forum. I’m grateful I checked. Jeep needs to address this and not allow defecting vehicles leave assembly. My car only has 1000 miles and leak was discovered around 950 miles.
