2022 JEEP GLADIATOR Complaints

We have 2 2022 Jeep vehicles with the EcoDiesel engines in them (a Gladiator and Wrangler) that we purchased in 2022. I am filing a case for each of them on this site. In April 2023 there was a recall of the fuel pump on the 3.0 EcoDiesel and to date the problem has not been rectified for either of my vehicles. We have made notification to the dealership that we want to get this done but they say they do not have the parts in stock to do it. The dealership said they only get 1 fuel pump a month to replace and we are waiting and have been waiting for about a year since we notified the dealership for this safety issue to be rectified. I am filing this complaint as directed by the NHTSA website because I feel this issue has not been handled in a timely fashion and I believe that it is irresponsible of Jeep to not rectify this in a much quicker fashion. Each time we call the dealership we are told they do not know when it will be rectified.

The contact stated that after the first failure, the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the parking brake had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, unknown parts were replaced. The failure reoccurred the third time and the dealer refused to repair the vehicle and stated that the failure was due to the operator’s error. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.

Driving down the Interstate at Interstate speed. Suddenly, the front end started shaking uncontrollably which in turn caused the whole truck to shake violently. I had to slow down immediately. The shaking stopped at 60MPH. The truck is a 2022 Jeep Gladiator with only 47,074, miles. The truck has not been driven off road but just normal driving. Has not been wrecked or has struck any road hazard. The event has been commonly referred to as " Death Wobble". I have read that this is a common occurrence for Jeeps. I had to pay over $800.00, dollars for repair. There was no rhyme or reason for this occurrence.

Vehicle caught fire while parked unassisted in our driveway. It was trying to start itself while on fire pulling itself into our porch setting it on fire. Fire dept put house and vehicle out. Total loss on vehicle. Vehicle is available for inspection. Fire appears to have stated on passenger side under hood.

I parked my car in the garage. It was turned off. I left the garage door open and went inside. After approximately 5 minutes I heard a car horn sounding. I went outside to check and saw flames coming from the passenger side of the car. I got the hose to put the fire out, and my neighbor called 911. The flames grew quickly and were growing. Soon the flames were on both sides of the car. Both the police and fire department arrived. The fire report indicates that the fire started in the engine area of the car. The car is now in the possession of my insurance company. My safety and the safety of others was at risk due to the fire. I was burned on my arm, neck and head. The car was completely burned. My insurance carrier inspected the car. The fire department said the fire started in the engine area. My insurance company conducted a preliminary inspection and determined that the fire started in the engine area. The vehicle been inspected by the manufacturer (Chrysler Jeep by Bosch Automotive Service Solutions), the police, the fire department and a representative from my insurance company. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

This is a known issue with Jeep Gladiators and Wranglers. It’s called the “Death Wobble”. While driving at highway speed(70mph), I hit a bump which caused the entire vehicle to shake including the steering wheel. Once I braked and got the speed below 60 mph, the shaking ceased. This happened close to ten times on the particular 3 hour drive. I knew this was a possibility to happen since my son also has a Gladiator and it happened to his vehicle. It’s so prevalent there are YouTube videos out there showing it happening. This should be a recall.

Instrument panel failure when driving over any small bumps. Randomly turns off while driving. Complete loss of electrical system.

have a leased vehicle from ken garff dodge jeep in west valley utah service dept has offered excuses or flat denied service for the recall concerning the transmission clutch assembly on the manual transmission on the jeep gladiator ------- the 3 year lease ends on 16 march 2025 I get bombarded by emails to get it done but whether I make a appointment in person or over the phone ---- they will not do the work!!!!!I did make a complaint but to no use at all!!!

Occasionally, while driving on normal roads, my steering wheel locks up completely when I am changing lanes or accelerating. This issue typically resolves only when I reduce my speed to around 20-30 mph. Details: - The problem occurs intermittently and without warning. - No warning lights or error messages appear on the dashboard when this happens. - I have already taken the vehicle to the dealership, but they were unable to identify the cause after performing several checks.
