2020 JEEP GLADIATOR
Filed Oct 12, 2026
My 2020 Jeep Gladiator has been experiencing transmission slipping, jerking at 20–30 mph, and rough shifting into Reverse, with diagnostic code P0733. An authorized Jeep dealership inspected the vehicle and confirmed that the transmission problem matches Jeep’s Technical Service Bulletin regarding D-clutch failure. Despite confirming the defect and the need for repair, the dealership returned my vehicle without fixing it. I am concerned about the potential safety risks and request that NHTSA…

The interior driver's side door latch lever is experiencing extreme delamination. The liquid chrome silver coating has cracked and peeled away from the plastic lever. This has created a razor-sharp edge that poses an immediate safety hazard, acting like an open razor blade when trying to unlock and exit the vehicle. My wife cannot open her door without actively risking laceration to her fingers a second time. I have attached pictures. This vehicle currently has only 34,862 miles on the…

While I was driving home with 2 of my boys, the instrument cluster malfunctioned and went completely blank while driving. I had a mechanic check the vehicle and the fuses were/are working fine. He stated that he found issues online about Jeep Gladiators from this model year having issues with the instrument cluster suddenly going blank due to a parts issue. There is an active recall for this issue, but my truck is not included. When I called Jeep Customer Care, I was told that NHTSA was…

Experiencing death wobble at over 50 mph. Very dangerous on a roadway where you are required to go over that speed. Brought to shop, explained steering dampener is leaking and driver side tie rod is loose causing vibration at higher rates of speed.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Gladiator. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle went into the death wobble. During the failure, the front end of the vehicle was shaking and vibrating severely, and the steering wheel was difficult to control. The four tires were replaced, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed, and it was determined that front drag links and steering dampeners needed to be replaced. The failure mileage…
2022 JEEP GLADIATOR

The DPF system has failed upon numerous occasions. This model is a 2022 they only made these diesels for 3 years in the gladiator and discontinued them I assume for reasons stated above. The issues is not resolved and continues to happen. It should have a recall and the government put these standards on these vehicles and should be responsible for removing the dpf system and deleting the problem it restricts the engine not allowing it to run smoothly.

I believe it is the blend door actuator, the heat when on defrost automatically switched between hot to ice cold which fogs up windows and causes other issues. Brought the vehicle in for for the current recall along with service on this, and this was not looked at. When the temp changes the A/C is turned off and temp is turned up to clear the window. It starts blowing ice cold air that fogs up the window almost instantly

Instrument Panel Failure. The center LCD screen that displays speed, tachometer, oil temp, coolant temp, oil pressure, battery voltage, and transmission temps, fuel gauge, tire pressure readings, warning messages, and many other things just stopped working. This is obviously a safety risk and can cause an increased risk to safety and crashes, as it has been recalled on many other Jeep Gladiators and Wranglers. This screen started out working upon purchase, but would often have a digital…
