On November 3rd, while driving on the interstate, we drove over some uneven pavement. The steering wheel and vehicle started shaking. After slowing down, the shaking disappeared. It then reappeared again after another rough patch of highway. This is the 3rd time it's happened while we've owned the vehicle. Dealer always downplays our concerns.

At 8100 miles whenever driving on interstate and hit an uneven patch of road, such as a bridge entry, exit, the wheels start vibrating heavily and requires decreasing speed to get under control. This vibration gets out of hand and creates an out of control feeling that requires sudden deceleration and this gets dangerous with traffic behind traveling at interstate speeds.

Several times while driving on the interstate highway, my gladiator starts shaking violently! It is just at normal highway speeds. It is not like going too fast or anything. It seems like if it hits some rough spot in the road that it begins shaking and won't stop. If I change lanes, it keeps going with the shaking. Not until I slow way down will it stop shaking. This vehicle has less than 5000 miles on it. It is scary and unsafe.

I was turning a corner and as soon as I made the turn, the truck completely stalled. Lights were on and the screen was prompting me to step on the brake and press start even though the gear was on Drive. The gear wouldn't shift to neutral to at least remove the car from the busy street. The dash lights were flashing and as I tried to restart the car, it just made a grinding sound. Almost got hit by two other vehicles. No other symptoms observed other than when on a freeway a few months ago, the vehicle was having difficulty switching to a higher gear in a stop and go traffic. It was stuck at 30mph even when gas pedal was engaged and everyone behind and around were picking up higher speed than 30.

This Jeep gladiator has not started on several occasions. And is now stuck in our driveway not turning over the engine. This apparently is a known problem and has stranded my family. Has Also stopped all the electrical with the engine driving down the road when my husband was returning from work, this is a safety issue please respond.

This truck shakes (trembles) usually at highway speeds triggered only when there is an irregularity on the pavement, it continues doing that even after I pass the irregularity, until I reduce the speed. My truck has only 2103 miles on it, I have not driven it off roads or any extreme driving. I first noticed the problem at 610 miles. I took the truck to the dealership so they can fix the problem. They did not do anything. I worry about loosing control of the truck and have an accident. I check this and found a name :" death wobble". What can you do? Thanks.
