2021 JEEP GLADIATOR Complaints

The LED center high-mounted stop lamp, more commonly called the 3rd brake light, failed. A silent code was available to be read by only the dealership service; there were no visible warnings on the vehicle nor any owner online dashboards. In fact, the owner online dashboard had green across the board and clearly stated no issues were detected. The real issue here, and the reason for this submission, is that this LED should not have failed at less than three years and reviewing online many people have been having the same exact issue. Without any visible warnings to the driver, I have no idea how long it has been out. An investigation into a potential recall should be initiated as this is starting to sound like a manufacture defect that is affecting a legally required center high-mounted stop lamp. Minimally, there should be a software update to inform the driver of this error code and not have it be silent such that only a dealership service center is able to read it.

The windshields chips very easily and then shatters The third break light quits working and the rear turn signal randomly quit working

Started hard shifting and then really struggled to shift and accelerate once I slowed down. Took to dealership and they said the transmission will need to be replaced. The engine light came on just shortly after the hard shifting and inability to accelerate.

Mopar recall Z96 posted October, 13th 2022 for high pressure fuel pump. My local dealership stated parts for replacement of the high pressure fuel pump did not become available until November of 2023. They inspected my vehicle November 21st, 2023 and determined the high pressure fuel pump was to be replaced under mopar recall Z96. Dealership ordered parts at that time. On to March 4th, 2024. I reach out to local dealerships service and parts departments. Not all parts had been received and there was no understanding of when the rest of the necessary parts would arrive. May 7th, 2024. It is now nearly 1 year and 7 months since this recall was released and nearing 6 months since my local dealership stated they ordered parts to replace the fuel pump. My local dealership continues to have no understanding or intention of securing the remaining parts necessary to complete this recall. This amount of time is unreasonable for a part that if it fails will cause loss of engine power and may cause a fatal crash.

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.

At speeds of 45-70mph the Jeep randomly begins a violent shaking of the steering wheel/tires/suspension components. The Jeep is completely stock and the tires have been rotated and rebalanced which did not assist in resolving the issue.

I took delivery of my 2021 Jeep Gladiator on 10/29/20. I brought the vehicle in on 12/29/22 for service (Webber Family Motor, Detroit Lakes, MN). The driver's door lock switch was inoperable. I could not lock, unlock the vehicle either with the FOB or with the key. This means that I was unable to lock my vehicle from the driver's side when leaving the vehicle AND I was unable to lock the vehicle using the switch on the driver's door panel (from the inside). This is a safety concern for a lone female. Webber Family Motor found Circuit G161 broken in the boot harness. They replaced the wire and retested. The vehicle passed. The charge out of pocket to me was $201.74. On 01/19/24, I again took the vehicle to Webber Family Motor for the same issue. They took the door panel off and found that "someone" had taped the boot harness. This someone was them in 2022. They want to charge $600 for replacement of the boot harness. My safety is at risk because I work nights and am unable to get into my vehicle and lock the door from inside. This issue has happened twice
