2020 JEEP GLADIATOR
Filed May 27, 2026
On Friday, May 22, 2026, at approximately 59,442 miles, the vehicle's instrument panel cluster (IPC) failed suddenly and without warning. The vehicle was driven to a store in [XXX] , with the display functioning normally, but upon restarting the vehicle less than an hour later, the central information screen went completely blank. The screen remains permanently blank and fails to display any driver information. At night, turning the vehicle on causes the screen to emit a faint dark gray…

My 2024 Jeep Gladiator Mojave has an ongoing brake issue that persists despite inspections by multiple dealerships. When starting the vehicle in the morning, the brake pedal is unusually hard and sits lower than expected, requiring excessive force before the engine will engage. Once the engine is running, pedal pressure returns to normal. For comparison, I also regularly drive a 2020 Jeep Gladiator and a 2023 Jeep Wrangler, neither of which exhibit this condition. Additionally, after driving…
2021 JEEP GLADIATOR
Filed May 25, 2026
I recently experienced significant transmission issues, specifically hard engage in reverse (cold), and failure to shift higher than 3rd gear. The rear axle is leaking and the front axle is shaking. My jeep has the P0733 code for the D-clutch failure confirmed at a Jeep dealership, along with the steering damper Campaign XF1 and the Dana M220 axle (TSB 03-001-23) and should be included in these TSB’s/CSN’s/Campaigns! It is currently sitting at the Jeep Dealership in Covington, La unable to be…
2026 JEEP GLADIATOR
Filed May 22, 2026
This vehicle suffered a sudden; catastrophic hydraulic brake fluid leak and complete system failure shortly after a service visit with only 700 miles total on the new vehicle. Hours prior to the failure, Lindsay Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Manassas, VA (where the vehicle was purchased new, earlier that month) performed and signed off on a multi-point inspection as fully functional while the vehicle was taken in for other warranty service (non safety or brake related). As a former mechanic, I…
2021 JEEP GLADIATOR
Filed May 20, 2026
Last year I received a message, letter and perhaps an email related to my jeep and recall for the clutch plate assembly. The recall was performed twice because first was incorrect. Transmission had to be replaced a few weeks later. Since then, I've had numerous visits to dealership, and had several incidents this week traveling across country to clear Service Transmission messages: on the display, and two incidents where the jeep went into limp mode at high speeds. Four more stops have not…
2024 JEEP GLADIATOR
Filed May 13, 2026
Premature clutch failure around 20,000 miles. It happened the first time the 4WD was engaged. Vehicle is in limp mode and cannot drive. There were no warnings prior to the issue. Previous year models have had NHTSA recalls issued for clutch failures.

The contact owns a 2020 Jeep Gladiator. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the infotainment center display blinked on and off. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with a failed instrument cluster panel. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was advised to take the vehicle to the dealer. In addition, the contact was informed of a recall NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V652000 (Electrical System) however the contact's VIN was not associated.…
2022 JEEP GLADIATOR
Filed May 9, 2026
The third brake light is not working on my 2022 Gladiator. It was working, but shortly after purchase it stopped working. This seems to be quite the issue as I have seen many Gladiators of all years with the third brake lights not working. This is a safety issue and will not pass inspection if not working. Since there are so many years of Gladiators with inoperable third brake lights it shows that the manufacturer has not addressed the issue. They then turn around and charge up to $100 per…
2025 JEEP GLADIATOR
Filed May 6, 2026
2025 Jeep Gladiator was struck on the rear drivers side by and on the rear tire by a Nissan Rogue. The Jeep was spun 180 degrees and flipped on the passenger side. None of the airbags deployed at any time during the accident.
