Get the dealer to check codes. ou might have a defective sensor and the computer won't let it start until it gets a signal from the crank sensor, etc.

Yeah did that already and there weren't any codes the guy told me to videotape it the next time it happened

Sounds like a relay sticking. I haven’t looked, but if there is a starter relay in the power distribution center, I would try swapping it with a comparable relay.

Hi zOOMzOOM,

We know you are just looking for advice from your fellow forum members at this time, however, if your Gladiator is still at the dealer we would like to offer an additional layer of assistance. Please send our team a private message with addition details if this is something you are interested in.

I have bought 3 and my daughter one Jeep. No apologies needed for any of them.

Damn. I feel left out that my JT has been flawless. Maybe 1911tacticalnut can start a thread showing the service orders for his JT’?

To the OP: had a similar problem years ago on a Ford and it was a bad fuel pump. Maybe that will give a direction to look.

any resolution on this issue? mine is doing the same. took it the dealer a while ago and they couldnt recreate the issue. It doesnt do it at every startup, but when it does, I have to shut it off. It always fires right up on the second try

 

[jpacosta481]

I know this is an old thread but any updates?

@JeepCares,
I still have not resolved this issue. For the 2nd time, the jeep as at a different dealership and of course it wont duplicate the issue when it is at the dealer. They claim it has no issues
