• 12/31/2020· STRUCTURE

  BOTH LATCHES ON MY 2020 JEEP GLADIATOR SOFT TOP INADVERTENTLY UNLATCHED WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, CAUSING THE TOP TO START OPENING. DRIVER AND PASSENGER GRABBED TOP AND CONDUCTED EMERGENCY STOP ON SHOULDER OF INTERSTATE TO KEEP THE SOFT TOP FROM FULLY OPENING. THE INADVERTENT OPENING OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN SPAN OF 15 MINUTES AT INCREASINGLY SLOWER SPEEDS. TO CONTINUE OUR TRIP, WE WERE ABLE TO SECURE THE SOFT TOP TO WINDOW FRAME WITH BUNGEE STRAPS INSTALLED OVER THE LATCHES TO KEEP LATCHES IN PLACE. CONCERNED THAT AN INADVERTENT OPENING OF THE SOFT TOP AT INTERSTATE SPEED MIGHT CAUSE DRIVER TO LOOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE WHILE DEALING WITH GRABBING THE SOFT TOP AT HIGH SPEED, STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO TOP, AND/OR POTENTIAL FOR SOFT TOP TO DEPART THE JEEP AND DAMAGE VEHICLES DRIVING BEHIND. THE STRUCTURAL ISSUES APPEARS TO BE WITH THE DESIGN OF THE TWO LATCHES THAT SECURE THE SOFT TOP TO WINDOW FRAME. LATCHES SEEM TOO WEAK/LOOSE TO PROVIDE SECURE CLOSURE OF THE SOFT TOP. I TOOK THE JEEP GLADIATOR TO A CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP DEALER AND THE DEALER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE STATED THERE WAS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN FOR ADJUSTING THE LATCHES. THE DEALER MECHANIC ADJUSTED MY JEEP'S LATCHES ACCORDING TO TSB SPECIFICATIONS. IN MY OPINION, THE LATCHES ARE STILL LOOSE AND UNSTABLE. WILL NOT DRIVE MY JEEP AT HIGHWAY SPEED UNTIL THE ISSUE IS FIXED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER TO HOPEFULLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

  MY TRUCK FAILS TO DEFROST ABOUT 1/2 TO 1/3 OF MY WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I NOTICED THIS BEHAVIOR IN MY TRUCK THE DAY I PICKED IT UP. FOR ME, IT DOESN'T DEFROST THE 1/3 OF THE WINDSHIELD IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SEAT, INHAVE HEARD FROM OTHER JEEP GLADIATOR AND JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS THAT THE DEFROSTING ISSUE CAN BE MORE SEVERE, OR CAUSE MORE OF THE WINDSHIELD TO BE COVERED IN FROST. I ACTUALLY HAD TO CARRY A PIECE OF CARDBOARD ON MY DASHBOARD TO HOLD OVER THE VENTS TO DISTRIBUTE THE AIR TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN I SPOKE WITH JEEP OVER THE PHONE, THEY JUST SAID 'WE HAVEN'T HEARD OF THIS/THERE IS NO TSB, ETC.' I HAVE MADE IT CLEAR MANY TIMES THAT I CONSIDER IT A SAFETY ISSUE WITH BOTH JEEP DIRECTLY AND WITH TWO SEPARATE DEALERS'NONE OF WHICH SEEM TO EVEN WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR TEST FOR THE ISSUE'EVEN THOUGH VISIBILITY (ESPECIALLY IN WINTER CONDITIONS) IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IN MY OPINION (IF NOT JEEP/FCA'S).

• 12/25/2020· STEERING,SUSPENSION,WHEELS

  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.

  * Instrument cluster screen went black *unable to see any safety lights, fuel, mileage or anything else displayed here. My Jeep Gladiator was not part of the recall 30B but should be.

• 12/23/2021· VISIBILITY/WIPER

  The visors come out of their sockets which result in blocking one's vision and making the visor not only useless but a safety issue. It bugs me that there are all kind of YouTube videos about how to fix this and they say that getting the Jeep replacement kit results in the same thing happening. I don't understand why Jeep has not fixed an obvious problem and issued a recall. We certainly did nothing to cause the visors to come out of their sockets. This is obvious and doesn't require that it be confirmed by a dealer. There is no warning when the visor will initially break and no warning when it can fall down and block your view. The normal road vibrations are enough to cause it to fall out.

• 12/23/2020· STEERING

  THE STEERING FEEL IS VERY LOSE. THE TRUCK HAS THE FEELING LIKE IT WANDERS IN THE LANE AND ALWAYS NEEDS STEERING CORRECTION TO KEEP IT GOING STRAIGHT. NONE OF MY OTHER CARS HAVE EVER DRIVEN LIKE THIS INCLUDING MY PAST JEEPS. THIS MAINLY HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

• 12/22/2020· STEERING

  WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45MPH ON A 2 LANE ROAD, MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME STUCK OR FROZEN IN ITS POSITION. I WAS UNABLE TO COURSE CORRECT, AND ENDED UP BRAKING INTO THE MEDIAN. I NEVER LOST ENGINE POWER, OR POWER STEERING. THE WHEEL WAS SIMPLY LOCKED, STUCK, OR FROZEN. ONCE STOPPED, I TRIED THE WHEEL AGAIN, AND IT WORKED. I'VE SINCE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO JEEP, AND THEY ARE ATTEMPTING REPAIR.

• 12/19/2024· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  The instrument panel cluster of my 2020 Jeep Gladiator is blank, no display. Therefore, my odometer, fuel gage and several other notifications are not visible and makes it hazardous to drive my car. My eyes keep looking to a blank blacked out panel. The recall #30B for the instrument cluster panel does not include my vin #. My Jeep service center said that it is the piece I need and it will cost $2,000 to replace. I do not have the funds for the unit. Please ask them to include my Gladiator in the recall. Thank you.

  EXCESSIVE STEERING WANDER/ROAD WALKING. THIS IS BEING REPORTED IN LARGE NUMBERS OF JEEP GLADIATOR VEHICLES IN ALL JEEP FORUMS. ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND WITH INCREASED WINDS, OR TOWING. JEEP CURRENTLY HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 08-074-20 ACTIVATED, BUT DEALERSHIPS DON'T HAVE AVAILABLE STOCK OF THE REPLACEMENT STEERING BOX CALLED FOR, AND SEEM DISINTERESTED IN REPLACING BECAUSE IT IS NOT A RECALL. THIS CONDITION AND PROBLEM HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE BUYING THE VEHICLE, AND THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH REPORTS BY OTHER BUYERS ACROSS ALL FORUMS. PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING A RECALL, AS THE PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS, AND AFFECTS MOST VEHICLES, SO AS TO FACILITATE REPLACEMENT.

  MY JEEP GLADIATOR REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION WHILE DRIVING AND SEEMS TO HAVE A ~1 INCH DEAD SPOT FROM CENTER BEFORE THE WHEELS REACT WHICH SEEMS TO ALLOW IT TO ALSO WANDER FROM LEFT TO RIGHT SLIGHTLY AND DOES NOT WANT TO COME BACK TO CENTER. IT IS MORE APPARENT AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND REQUIRES YOU TO CONSTANTLY OVER-CORRECT TO KEEP IT CENTER ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. I SCHEDULED A SERVICE AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT AFTER I RETURNED TO PICK UP MY JEEP A ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER TO TAKE A QUICK DRIVE WITH ME AND I WOULD SHOW HIM THE ISSUE. AFTER DRIVING MINE WE ALSO DROVE ANOTHER ONE FROM THE NEW LOT AND IT SEEMED TO HAVE THE SAME DEAD-ZONE/PLAY IN THE STEERING THAT MINE DID. THE SERVICE MANAGER AGREED THAT HE COULD TELL THERE WAS SOME SORT OF ISSUE BUT THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT AT THIS TIME. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A BRAND NEW $55K+ VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE STEERING BOX SEEMS TO ACTUALLY MOVE SLIGHTLY WHILE LOOKING AT IT WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL IS BEING TURNED. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED QUICKLY AS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING OF THIS. FCA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT ASAP.

  My jeep has 140,000 mile engine oil has been changed on time every time. And the engine has cylinders that are missing and it's using antifreeze and riddles like a diesel from time to time. I looked it up and it seems to be a common problem with these engine and there has not been a recall for this. But funny thing is they make a repair kit for this issue. Why has this not been recalled yet it's on all the jeep forms. Even wright ups of fires after a while of driving in this condition.

• 12/14/2022· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  On 12/2/22 while driving at 70 mph, I suddenly lost power steering. Every system warning light came on and windshield wipers began running when this happened. I managed to get it to the side of the road, but it has zero gauges, no acceleration, cannot shift, and cannot be shut off. After 30 minutes, the warnings began to clear themselves and I was able to safely drive it to a dealer. The battery was assumed to be the issue and it was replaced. Picked the vehicle back up on 12/7/22 and the exact same scenario occurred on 12/13/22; highway speeds, complete loss of power steering, multiple system warnings, wind shield wipers began running. Once again, couldn’t shift it and couldn’t shut it off. I timed the process the second time. At exactly 30 minutes, it began resetting itself and I was able to drive it home before delivering it to the dealership this morning.

I SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT FOR 12/9 AND FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD MY DEALER IS THAT JEEP HAS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM , THEY HAVE FILED A CASE WITH FCA.

  The instrument panel cluster (IPC) failed. The speedometer, fuel gauge, and other driver information displays no longer function. The vehicle and failed instrument cluster are available for inspection upon request. The failure resulted in loss of critical driving information, including vehicle speed and fuel level. This creates a safety risk because I cannot accurately monitor speed, receive warning indicators, or assess vehicle operating conditions while driving. The issue has been diagnosed by ASE certified shop No warning lamps or messages were displayed prior to the failure. The instrument cluster failed suddenly and without warning.

  I recently purchased this vehicle used, while driving the lights go off and the vehicle shuts off while moving. Not displaying any warning indicators at the time. Luckily vehicle is a manual, so I have been able to coast to a stop safely. Situation could be very dangerous. Once off the vehicle will go dead and won't restart. After a few moments vehicle will restart until the problem occurs again without warning. Jeep/chrysler has obvious issues with this vehicle and has not done any recalls. Even though they have documented occurrences with similar vehicles.

  My instrument panel cluster on my 2020 Jeep Gladiator has gone totally dark...no speed, no gas gauge, no temp, no milage, no functionality...no can drive!!! I couldn't even get the emissions tested because they can't record the milage on the vehicle. There is a FCA safety recall (#30B) issued for this exact problem for my exact make/model/year, however the dealership (Premier, Hyannis Ma) says there is not a recall, stating "there's a lot of stuff on the internet, we don't have a recall for that", then handed me a $1300 quote to replace the dead panel cluster. I then called the FCA Customer service, they confirmed the recall existed, however my vin # didn't meet the recall.

ALSO, THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL MEANING THAT I CAN TURN THE WHEEL AN INCH/INCH AND A HALF AND THE TRUCK WILL NOT RESPOND WHILE DRIVING AT SAY 45MPH. NOT A VERY FUN DRIVING EXPERIENCE ESPECIALLY ON LONGER TRIPS. WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE IT. I'VE HEARD OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINING TO DEALERSHIPS, BUT DEALERSHIPS SAY, "IT'S A JEEP AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO DRIVE THIS WAY."
