Please keep us in the loop on how this turns out. I had to hire an attorney and send a letter to the dealership and FCA. Stlantis created a case and assured me nothing was wrong with my vehicle. I had a 2020 Gladiatior that didn't smoke, so i guess there was indeed somthing wrong with it.
Have the same bug deflector. 2020 Altitude with 40k, only a few initial problems. A leaking shock and a valve needed to be replaced in the transmisiion. Just had the main battery replaced after 2.5 years, which is good for Arizona. I am happy with the reliability so far.
And that's more frequently? for a typical person, that's a lifetime.
That happens in non-ESS starters.
That's also a Ford TSB - meaning they have a known issue. They have resolved it. Gee, we have a lot of TSBs for failures in our Jeeps, too. That doesn't mean it's a problem they can't fix or...
Car and Driver also consistently rates the Ridgeline the best midsize pickup; are you really going to give their opinion any credence for anything on the topic?
I'm not going to go any further to justify my purchase other than to say that for my needs it's an upgrade in every way except the one...
My 2020 was a great vehicle - identical in many ways. Went 27,000 miles with nothing major, nothing to cause pause as to whether or not to trust it cross-country.
This 2022 is also turning out to be as reliable and trouble-free.
That's not saying there can't be future "issues" but my luck with...
Understand that your Gladiator had issues not all Gladiators or jeeps have them. My 2020 with just over 30,000 miles has been excellent with zero issues and zero Maintenace save oil changes and annual state safety inspection. It may be just luck of the draw that you got a mild lemon and could...
you need a M220 rear set. The one you linked is M210 and all JTs came with M220s. front is correct tho. The rubicon, mojave and max tow also have M220s but they are widetrack i.e. longer and thicker axles tube but still the same gear set size as all other JTs, only differing in ratio. You also...
I don't know for a fact, but I think the new Uconnect 5 that is in these 2024's has considerably less functionality than previous models, and instead leans into CarPlay/Android Auto to do the heavy lifting.
For example, if my phone is connected to Android Auto, the "voice command" button will...
Same problems mine and others posted here. Good luck

Then why are the vast majority of posts about cam issues related to 2020 model year?
You don't see later 2021 models or 2022 model owners talking of the cam issues like the 2020 model year owners did.
Gather up all the complaints about cams for 2020 model year then go gather the numbers for...
So I've got a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Sport S (NOT Max Tow). I've done a number of things to it including:
2.5" Clayton Lift w/ Track Bars & Adjustable Arms (Link)
Falcon Shocks SP2 3.3 Fast Adjust Piggyback Front and Rear Shocks
Falcon 2.2 Steering Stabalizer (Link)
ABOUT TO REGEAR TO 4.88 (Not...
When I first bought mine, the Carfax and dealer record showed only maintenance and a replaced windshield in 35k miles. The aux battery failed at the 3 year mark, which is normal. So that's again a maintenance issue. I've had zero problems in the 15k miles I've owned it. I replaced the tires...

I bought my Gladiator in July of 2021, it’s a 2020 but was brand new with only 4 miles on it. Since then anytime the weather gets cold it won’t start or it starts and won’t go into gear. I have had it towed to the dealer twice and driven it to the deal 5/6 times for...
Looking for opinions (with reasons) about whether or not the model year matters with the first generation Gladiator, as I start used Jeep shopping. I’m not sure I want a “covid Jeep” (ie, supply chain shortages) based on nothing whatsoever, but also don’t know if Jeep actually made improvements...
I tow a 19’ 3,500 pound travel trailer with a 2020 JT Overland with tow package. Three years so far with 7,500 miles towing, no issues. Add too much weight, or mechanical problems, it just may overheat. In the real world, my Overland has performed well doing what it was designed to do within its...
I was a little worried at first when I decided on the Heigh 10. I read where quite a few Jeeples that switched to it had problems. I'm guessing they didn't use the right wiring harness. I've had no problems at all with my system. I changed out all the speakers and added 2 amps (with tuners) and...
