2021 JEEP GLADIATOR Complaints

My 2021 Gladiator frequently experiences the Death Wobble at Highway speeds when I hit bumps in the road. We received a postcard in the mail references the problem with 2018 - 2020 Jeep Wranglers and Jeep Gladiators but not 2021 and this same problem is happening. It is very scary when you hit a bump and the steering wheel just starts shaking like crazy or as referenced above a Death Wobble.

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Gladiator. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V767000 (Fuel System, Gasoline, Engine) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Transmission exploded while driving the highway creating a large hole on the side and sending shrapnel out which damaged further components. Transmission fluid was dumped all over the highway and vehicle lost power. It is available and I have photos and a video of when the failure accured. There are mutliple others who have had the same issue onFacebook group called Jeep Clutch Recal, related to a clutch recall that came out just before my Jeep was manufcatured. The failure occured with no other warnings available to me, Jeep told me that there was a fault code but would not give me a printout of the code or when it appeared saying the information was propriatery.

12-30-2022 When driving truck on interstate going over a bridge the bump caused a death wobble and wouldn't stop until brake pushed. Did this twice in about 2 miles while driving 65 miles an hour. Took it to the shop and was told replacing front end parts after they experienced it also. Shop called said Chrysler said to turn steering wheel to left and right 25 times, then they test drove it again and said it quit. We picked it up and still doing it.

Steering wheel shaking wile driving around 65 MPH, specially on cold weather around 30 to 40 degrees. Death wobble is the term I found been coming on jeep wranglers and gladiators. But not understand how this issue is not a recall from the FCA company. I bring my vehicle one time to the dealership the entire front suspension was replaced and the issue was ok for 11 months, now is happening again.

While driving on the highway at accelerated high speed, the steering has completely locked up on two different occasions and unable to steer at all. The truck has to come to a complete stop for the steering to unlock.

The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Gladiator. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the steering wheel started wobbling. The contact stated that the rear of the vehicle was also wobbling.

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Gladiator. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, the driver's side front tire kicked up a stone from the street which entered the cabin and struck the contact on the left side of his forehead. The contact stated that he understood that inadequate fender coverage allowed road debris to be picked up by the wheels and thrown into the cabin of the vehicle. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that there was no repair needed. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

My 2021 Jeep Gladiator Sport is very unsafe to drive specially at Highway speeds or speeds above 45 mph and multiple dealerships service departments are refusing to fix or even acknowledge the issue after not being able to fix the problem already due to no major recalls being offered by Jeep only a bulletin. Steering is very loose, and I cant drive my Jeep Gladiator Sport straight specially on a windy day. I have to constantly adjust my Jeep Gladiator Sport from side to side to keep it in my lane specially if being passed by a semitruck. My Jeep Gladiator Sport sways at speeds as low as 45 mph, but the problem increases at higher speeds. Most of the pulls on highway speeds or windy days are to the left and I have to hang on to the steering wheel for dear life or constantly correcting the wheel.
