  1. Surprising Jeep Damage

    Didn’t say I was ok… unfortunately my back and neck are on fire and I hit my head on the roll bar. I’ll be installing seat drop brackets to avoid hitting my head in the future
  2. Surprising Jeep Damage

    I have a bone stock High Altitude 3.0 eco diesel and, just before thanksgiving, I fell victim to the disaster that is known as the Washington DC beltway (495). I was rear ended while slowing for another accident up ahead when the kid in the civic behind me did not. I was pleasantly surprised...
  3. Dead Gladiator

    Dealership found the issue after the 3rd time it died. Had they headed the advice from this forum and looked at the wiring harness they would have resolved the issue on the first time instead of dragging the process out for nearly a month. The apparent cause was a wire grounding out at the...
  4. Harness issue from JL forum

    This was what killed my truck and left me stranded several times. It was in and out of the dealer for more than a month, at one point it was in the service dept for2 weeks. They finally discovered where the harness had rubbed through(even though I told them this was a known issue at the first...
  5. Baby seat placement Gladiator

    I got a bit frustrated and had to cut the strap behind the seat. But I found the solution at Amazon which holds the seat tighter than it’s ever been before. Car Seat Strap,moinkerin General Belt Car Seat Latch Safety Car Seat Connector Compatible with Most Car Models...
  6. Anyone have electrical issues? My Jeep started acting crazy today

    I didn’t read through this entire thread but let me add that you need to check the wire harness through its entire length. Mine was at the dealer for just under a month on 3 separate occasions and on the last time they found the short that I had told them to look for the first time I brought it...
  7. Dead Gladiator

    By all means hop on over to the JL forum and you can read for yourselves the countless others who have had this issue with multiple vehicles in the mopar spectrum since they started using the dual battery. There is a relatively simple fix to either delete the aux battery altogether, carry a...
  8. Dead Gladiator

    I jumped on the JL forums and it’s been an issue since at least 2018. I plan on disconnecting it no matter what jeep does to repair it
  9. Dead Gladiator

    My truck is still at the dealer waiting for Jeep engineers to provide a solution. No time frame on when I can expect my truck to be fixed…
  10. Opposite of Disappointed

    Everything is powered up but the motor won’t run and you can’t power anything off
  11. ESS - Rate It

    Wait until the auxiliary battery dies and it leaves you stranded somewhere. I’m on my 4th time of being stranded
  12. ESS delete question.

    My truck is at the dealer now after the 4 time of leaving me stranded, twice out of state with kids in tow. I will do everything in my power to completely delete this auxiliary system. Can you imagine being out on the trail and the auxiliary battery dies totally disabling your vehicle? F that

  14. Opposite of Disappointed

    I’ll let everyone know because I’m the OP, although I still truly love my truck, there’s a serious design flaw. If the auxiliary battery dies, the truck is dead. The power will stay on (because the main battery is fine) but the engine won’t run and there’s no way to jump it. Then it kills the...

    Round 3…. Maybe @JeepCares will get it right the 3rd time back to the dealer
  16. Dead Gladiator

    Guess what happened again today…?at least it was only a few miles from a dealership where I bought an extra auxiliary battery to take back to my dealer. I thought I’d have longer than a week to come up with an emergency solution, but such is life. Let me add that the second dealer told me this...
  17. Dead Gladiator

    Exactly this. At a minimum I plan on carrying around a jumper for the positive lead to bypass the aux battery in the event of failure
  18. Dead Gladiator

    All right class, today I learned that I will be buying a taser and deleting the ESS. The root of all of my problems was a dead auxiliary battery.!? Even though the main battery was perfectly fine the dead lawnmower battery below it disabled my truck and left me stranded. Off to buy a taser to...
  19. Dead Gladiator

    While I recognize that Jeep has contracted out towing, call centers, and rentals, there really should be a little more flexibility with their services and the ability to communicate more easily. I now recognize that the call center is outsourced to Asia, but they should be able to understand the...
