Totally commiserating with you about this turn signal issue. Some people are probably thinking: “What are you doing with a Jeep?” And “why do you even need it?” Answer: Because although the state and county governments are sucking up huge amount of tax dollars, they’re not using that money to...

Yeah, but the thing is it’s not really a minor annoyance because it’s a control that‘s legally mandated for you to use. Most of my driving is city, suburban, and exurbs. I’m using the thing constantly. Trying to shove it on. Trying to yank it off when it didn’t turn itself off. Like one guy...

I can’t have this previous Jeep product discussion without also bringing up the memories, many not good. 2004 Grand Cherokee V8: Nice ride, no issues. 2012 Wrangler Unlimited 4-Door: First year with the Pentastars to my recollection. Nightmare! Bad cylinder head at 9,000 miles. Another bad...

“Work truck” stick implies strong and masculine. This “El Cheapo” turn signal lever belongs in a $16k Hyundai, if such thing still existed. Rather than in a $66k diesel Rubicon.

I tried to get Krebs to write about it/expose it, but he declined because of his existing article. But this security fiasco with Unconnect needs some daylight disinfectant in a prominent news source to get a swift fix taking place.

Wouldn’t it be cool if the turn signal level was a mini version of the gear shifter? Metal shaft, leather wrapped end, etc.

That touches on something that I selected in the survey data questions: It asked what other vehicles had I considered? The answer is a Ford Super Duty, because of their aluminum bodies and superior corrosion resistance. . Honestly, if we were still in 2019 times and I could go on any...

I made some phone calls, and the last entity I got bounced to was Sirius Guardian. The rep was nice, but had the gall to blame me for not cancelling the Sirius subscriptions, which is what is giving me access to the two vehicles. As noted in the Krebs article, the dealerships I traded the...

I’m a fan of repeat engaging in that “definition of insanity experiment,” hoping for a different outcome But in all seriousness, I did expect a better steering experience two years and a lot of customer griping later. And the steering is slightly improved, but I credit that to what reviews have...

I forgot to add an important one in my post that I dinged Stellantis for on the survey, The Dodge Garage and the Uconnect app. My Uconnect app via Dodge Garage says I own three vehicles: A 2022 Gladiator Rubicon, A 2020 Gladiator Mojave, and a 2022 Dodge Challenger Scatpack Widebody. The...

I literally just clicked the submit button on my Jeep Quality Survey from Stellantis for my 2022 Gladiator Rubicon diesel. Overall, I gave the vehicle high marks with a few exceptions. These are the things I complained about: 1. The steering still has too much free play in these things. It’s...

Yeah, I’ve studied the pros and cons of the Gorilla glass, and the fact that it’s almost impossible to get because of supply chain issues isn’t lost on me, but if some divine intervention occurs and Safelite manages to get me one, I’ll take it over the regular OEM. No harm living in fantasy...

I’m trying to unscrew this in my head too. My spouse was parking (pulling into a parking spot, a cause for alarm) the vehicle today and it hit me that I have all the safety packages, but no front parking warning alert was going off. So I got out of our Gladiator and pulled her forward to avoid...

It wouldn’t be fair to frame it as me being “stuck” getting OEM glass, because I won’t settle for anything less. My vehicle still has less thank 4 miles. And a “hell yes,” if they can somehow get me the Gorilla glass for a replacement, even if I have to cough up some extra money beyond my $50...

I’m beginning to feel like Safelite played me. They called right away, claiming they had a windshield to set up an appointment, to which I agreed to. Safelite then cancelled the appointment a couple of days laters, saying the windshield is on back order at the dealership. Last I heard from them...

Feeling likewise, it’s respectful banter, and your points are well taken. And no doubt the right course for some folks. But we differ in the fact that I’m not willing to modify a brand new $66k vehicle and possibly void the warranty because some moron at Loves or Pilot or elsewhere put the wrong...

I suspect it’s not as widely known as you believe. Especially for new diesel owners. I literally had like 700 miles on the vehicle, and was afraid to leave Garden City without figuring it out because outside of that area is a pretty desolate fuel desert. If it happens again, which it probably...

The problem nozzles weren’t “big boys.” They were much smaller than the opening where the flap is, and because of that couldn’t trip the multi-point unlock mechanism. We pulled ahead to the next pump and I verified the problem one was smaller, the same size as the unleaded nozzle on the same...

I’m thinking this had to have been discussed, but when I encountered the issue and did a Google search not much showed up Wasting about an hour of my trip. Did a recent road trip from Missouri to Nevada and back. At a Loves Travel Stop in Garden City, Kansas, I attempted to put fuel in my 2022...

This article doesn’t support what you’re claiming: ”In the case of the Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator, the models' newly available windshield option consists of a thin Gorilla Glass inner ply and a 52 percent thicker outer ply. As a result, it ought to provide ample resistance to chips and cracks...
