Here is why I am asking. After going through 7 trips to the dealer, out of service for 40+ days and a buy back last Friday, I test drove a new Gladiator. While the driving the ESS light popped on once, and never again. So I hooked up my obdII and it picked up a 1.00 degree test value on VVT...
I am in the same boat with you, and I am giving it another go. I had the CEL that would not go away. Here is what I did to be comfortable with my decision.
How many Gladiators have been sold? Last count I heard, 70k units. I have always lived by a 10% defective rate is to high. Now where...
My Gladiator has been to the dealer 3 times and for over 20 days. I am on my 4th trip. Supposedly they are going to replace the cams etc. I did request a compression check so I have it documented, and I believe that this been escalated within the Jeep customer service system. I have not...
While I was trying to create the spreadsheet, I noticed some of the entries were off. For example one entered the production date of 9/20 but the entry was in Aug. I tried to review some of what I captured and all of the ones that might have had a later than June I am skeptical on. I know...
Thanks for pointing out that the retention team is the only way to get it done. May I ask how did you get to the retention team?
I was going to go by Carmax and see what they offered, but before doing so I checked my VIN at the KBB site. When it pulled up my vin it said that there were '4...
For those of you that might be interested.
There are 123 of us that have posted a CEL or P0300. That is including some of the other threads in this Gladiator forum. Of that 42 have provided their production date and or build date. 9 of these are November builds. If you have your Gladiator...
Mine is still in, I had the 2 degree out on the 2,4,6 side as well and new adjusters installed. I think they are going to follow in your foot steps.
If mine is not fixed this time, i will jump on the attorney route as soon as possible. @JeepCares, what is happening to GIJOHN is unacceptable.
I have a question for you regarding your buyback, do you have a lot of mods/upgrades on yours "tires, lift, cover for the bed etc."? The reason why I am asking is to see if they bump up the buy back to cover those of if you have to take them off.
I have a really nice tonneau on mine and I am...
I traded in a perfectly good 2013 JK with only 15k miles and sold my 2009 duramax with 20k on it to help pay it off. Both with zero issues....
I wish you the best and hope you get some wheels really soon!!
You are still waiting for your replacement?
I was thinking of going Lemon and asking for a replacement but I think you answered that part.
I am very sorry to hear that. I hope they are covering your payments or something!!!
Follow up;
When I received our Gladiator back the dealer put 33 (I think the odometer was 892, can't recall exactly)miles on it. Looks like their approach worked...Wrong.
I am at 958ish miles the ESS light and the CEL both popped up. This is the 3rd trip to the dealer. Second for ESS and 3rd...
I hope this helps any others of us out there. This is the results of my second CEL trip to the dealer. 859 miles on the vehicle at dealer from 10/5 - 10/15. Total at dealer now 11 days between the two visits. I feel I am lucky in that respect but not out of the woods. They did the steering...
Build date: 1/23/2020
Mileage when it first occurred: 448
How many times has it occurred: Twice
What exact codes did it throw:
No code but the JT Powertrain software was not up to date so it was reprogrammed from 68433753AI to 68433753ak per RRT 20-053-2020

I have read some posts where getting assistance, let alone communication from Jeep (Corporate, Dealer, service writer etc) is very frustrating.
I am trying to get some information about my issue and looking for recommendations on the best path.
I bought a new 2020 Gladiator Overland on Sunday...
I am currently going through the same thing. Bought it on 8/16/2020, back at the dealer 8/17/2020. Dealer said it was probably a loose connection. They now have my Overland with only 70 miles on it waiting for the cluster. I just hope there are units available and not on back order.
