Ex Gladiator owner here New Member

Glad to be here, great info, nice community. Happy to be done with Jeep Gladiator issues.

 

Issue detail’s ?

 

Oooh, agreed. Give us the details

Welcome to TW!

 

I would also like to know.

I heard the 3.0 eco diesel had some bearings wearing out, and a few other issues with the diesel specifically. Pretty much made up my mind for making the switch.

Curious indeed…

 

Early 2019 purchase started having Misfire issues going on for more than a year. Jeep wanted to tear down motor, luckily with this market I was able trade for near what I paid for it 2.5 yrs ago. Got into a 19 OR DC SB with 19kmiles for a few thousand less. Happy to be done with terrible Jeep dealer warranty issues. Gladiator cool truck but mine was trouble/junk and the company behind them is to.

 

with the V6?

 

Welcome to TW! At least switch the rear diff oil over to synthetic and you should be good to go for a couple of 100k

 

yes V6 had troubles with misfire codes, ESS system codes. Very widespread problem with 2020 builds. Mistake to buy the first year. There a glut of used on the market around DC MD NOVA area. I suspect people are getting away from some of the problems and leveraging this crazy car market. Glad I was able to get out clean/easy without having to play the Lemon Law game.

 

Yes, I will plan to switch out rear dif fluid on schedule and should be good to go as you say! assume its an easy DIY and use Mobil syn dif fluid.

 

That was my worry on the 1st yr"18" JLUR's.
Iv'e been more than happy with it so far.
Welcome to TW.

 

Welcpme to TW! I am sorry and glad to hear about your Jeep problems

 

I bought a new Jeep Cherokee in 1985.Biggest pile of junk ever made.Traded it in for a new 1986 Toyota pick up .Toyotas ever since.

 

1. Good that your JK is working out! I think that Fiat Chrysler rushed out the Gladiator and did not test or have QC on vendors, there are many issues that people are having, nagging visits to dealerships and most dealerships do not provide support anymore. The last 2 times I needed to bring mine in for the same group of issues I had to wait 3-4 weeks for appointment and then they played all of the games/stories until I decided enough and traded it it. Dont have time to put up with this and I tried another dealer with the same results. FCA is a company that I will not do bus. again. Looks like it will be Toyota and Honda from now on for my purchases. No more new and 1st model years for me either. Happy with Taco so far, miss the gladiator just not the constant issues.

Welcome to TW!

 

It's a JLUR. I wouldn't own a JKU if it was free. Assuming you were talking to me.
