Jeep Gladiator Common Problems

Рет қаралды 24,128

After doing lots of research, today I'm taking a look at the Jeep Gladiator, a popular truck in the market, and highlighting the most common problems found on this vehicle. The engine is the first issue, with reports of stalling, hesitation, and misfiring, caused by faulty spark plugs, fuel injectors, or the engine control module. The transmission also has issues with slow shifting, jerking, and overheating during off-road use. Braking, steering, and suspension issues are also discussed, with the steering box being a significant concern, leading to swaying at high speeds and the death wobble. Electrical issues, such as problems with the radio, air conditioning, power windows, and the infotainment system, are also reported. The windshield and body are also highlighted, with the windshield being prone to cracking, and the body to corrosion on aluminum panels. We also talk about the best years to buy and which ones to avoid! Is this an overall reliable vehicle? Let's find out!

Some owners have reported that their turn signals blink.

I have a 2023 gladiator, I have 6k miles on it, steering issues doesn't track well, transmission shifts in and out of 7th and 8th gear at 65 mph, I think this is my last jeep

In general I like Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators however it’s always been an issue as far as reliability with them that has prevented me from buying one .

@Firstlastname69 8 ай бұрын

Many owners put over size tires on jeeps. Jeeps should never drive at 80 high center big tires . Over size tires cause transmission problems and brake issues.

2021 gladiator, at 13k miles had to get my cam shaft replaced and the lifter springs, then at 20k had to get my cam shaft replaced again and my bank 1 cam shaft sensor.. now it looses power on the smallest hill on the highway, can't get above 65mph, manual transmission, from 4th up to 6th, pedal to the floor won't get above 65mph (4th 65mph, 5th 55mph and 6th 40mph)... not so happy.

Swaying is not death wobble… that’s a different issue entirely. Death wobble is the violent uncontrollable back and forth of the front wheels causing an insane amount of vibration and loss of control.

21 Mojave, had faulty spark plug and front Fox shocks replaced under warranty, creaking badly, pure junk. $10 000 bucks for front shocks, thank goodness warranty.

I’ve had my Gladiator for about 3 years. The vale body broke 3 times and just had the transmission changed a few months back. Then a couple days ago my engine died its only at 51k miles.

@@tarawalton6778 found out later when i got it fixed both of my batteries were dead. Because the second battery that connects to the engine shutoff dies quicker, from the constant use of stopping. Over time it will die and drain the main battery. And theres no telling when the second battery will die. Overall with that issue everything else is fine.

i got the 2022 gladiator i went from the stock tires to 285 tires kept the same 17 inch rim and going from 6th to 7th and 8th gear its messed up. jeep struggles to change gears. also feels like if i was dragging a 30+FT trailer! horrible 8speed! also 3 days after i bought it brand new i had to leave it at the dealership for 2 weeks it was turning off by itself while at stop signs or red lights! after i picked it up from dealer same issue came up that same day while driving it home but this time it was the check engine blinking red not orange! also as he mentioned my turn signal blinking fast making me think its broken but when i walk behind my car to make sure ,its working perfect worse truck i ever had!

At 13k miles I needed my cam shaft and lifter springs replaced. Jeep did that, quickly and for free, took one day.

First jeep tj was awesome tank! the second JK 4dr was horrible death wobble tried to fix it still wobbling at 45mph geez got rid of it! Until Jeep can get their shit together with the suspension and engine, not going to get one. You think they would listen to their customers feed back and fix everything before they make more lemons! Sound like if they listen to this video they could fix about 90 percent of the problems with jeep!

ok now lets be honest and up front, did EVERY SINGLE gladiator have ALL those problems or can you just say 23% had these problems or something like that, you make it sound like monkey put it together

@SimpleCarGuy Ай бұрын

Of course not every Gladiator will have each issue, but overall those would be the more common issues to expect. I don’t do these videos to shit on cars, more so to warn potential buyers so they do some more research and look into the history of the vehicle to see if it was maintained and maybe fixed to avoid future issues.
