I get what you’re saying. There is just no other vehicle out there that does everything that the Gladiator does. I understand that statistically the failures are rare. Jeep Cares responded quickly. I’m not really sure what can happen though as parts are (More often than not!?!!) lost in the...

Thank you Kate PM sent

And next week, as soon as I land, we continue with the recovery of another Covid victim. Cooked a couple of cylinders in the @Desert_Dog_aviation backcountry dog transport. New cylinders disappeared on a boat from China. ? Been stuck in south-central Minnesota, again, no rental cars, no Lyft...

Dogs are happy and she is on the road.

Jeep found a substantial U-Haul truck for her. She is in the process of hooking up the horse trailer as we speak. Latest word from the service department is that the turbo is shot. Still problems in the exhaust system yet to be identified. The dogs are amused by all of the activity. Saying...

Wow. That is so incredibly nice of you. That is why I go to this forum. Things are coming along. It’s day three now, The service department is open but they said what they always say. “ it might be a week and a half before we can look at it“. As Kevin Costner and his crew film Yellowstone...

I get that the problems are rare. I’m happy for that. With that said, I don’t think it would hurt Jeep to do a little better assistance with warranty work. There’s an eco-diesel that’s been sitting at a dealership in Salt Lake for months. In cases like that, Jeep should at least provide another...

Me too. Actually there’s no other vehicle out there I would rather own. I love the size, the ride, the ease to park, the turning radius, even the “Man Bun” soft top. All I want is to not risk animal safety or a financial catastrophe any time I leave town. I had much higher hopes for the...

I get what you’re saying. I have a Pentastar with a six speed in a soft top JL. With the altitude and mountains in Utah it won’t even pull a pop up camper. We also have a JLU Rubicon with a 2.0 turbo E Torque. It’s better but still totally inadequate. The Ecodiesel is perfect when it runs. I...

I want to be fair with them and give them every chance. We are Jeep fans top to bottom. everyone is safe and thankfully there’s not a horse this time in the mix.

Posting here has been very therapeutic so thank you everyone for putting up with my rant. I guess Covid put most manufacturers in very difficult positions. My wife secured a rental car through Costco so she is safe. The rental car company requires that it be returned to Butte but they will allow...

Well said. Just going into limp mode with no explanation is definitely not OK.

That’s why we’ve abandoned the vehicle. I would buy another but this one is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. (third Jeep in two years. Buying a fourth might cause marital problems ) I’m letting her make the call on what to do. I’ve already flown out. I think she’s about to do the same.

All good stuff. Yes. We carry spare DEF. I’m trying now to call individual rental car companies as their websites simply want to know pick up and drop off locations to which they say “unavailable”. The Gladiator is now officially abandoned. Lost work will soon exceed the cost of the truck...

It was great to be in the “no issues”camp. Then we actually started doing road trips. First trip driving from Salt Lake to Missoula to get our son to college. Fortunately we had a caravan. Also Gladiator started freaking out with electrical and alternator warning messages. Uconnect warnings...

LOL. Siri Voice dictation. Need to get out of Butt. : ) And you’re right about Chico. That has been a favorite of ours for decades. We used to love it when you could land on the road and tie down in front of your room. Now an hour and 20 minute flight from Salt Lake takes eight or nine hours in...

Right now we’re stuck in Butt Montana. Wife’s pretty pissed. Jeep only covers $1,000 during a trip when a Jeep becomes undriveable. Third trip. Third nightmare. This time the message was Exhaust service….see dealer (!) . Good luck with that one! Pressing the U Connect button is as worthless as...

Sorry. Sold

Glad you can find one. For what it’s worth, Ken Garff has the Chinese knock offs. If anyone gives you crap about it being a Chinese knock off and the warranty issues, I can supply you with the email from Jeep cares stating to go that route.

We’ll, because I believed 5 different dealerships who said it would not be a problem. I believed 4 different parts departments who verified through Jeep that they were in transit which turned out to be false. Jeep tried hard to remedy this and did a good job at least staying in contact with me...
