What I actually paid including all TTL, fees, etc. (state lemon law). Didn’t have time to do any mods so that was not part of the buyback.

Buy back was agreed upon prior to me getting the Gladiator back. I was fed up with FCA and dealership. Additionally I wasn't interested in a 60K Gladiator with a rebuilt engine. They literally had my truck 3 times for a total of 55 of the first 70 days of ownership. Service department put...

Quick update - they replaced my engine after 55 days in the shop. CEL/PO300 issue on 3 occasions. Currently driving the Gladiator, awaiting my FCA buy back scheduled to take place next week (no vehicle swap offered). Process took over 2 months with no Legal representation needed. Process is...

Sorry to hear that Gameshow. My final step of the buy back is scheduled for next Monday. Turn my keys over and they hand me a check. I seriously can't believe how long this process has taken. Still gun shy to buy another Jeep. Good Luck. Wish you the best.

Loaner. Not a jeep though... :(

Sad thing is, I love the JT and willing to give it another shot. Definitely NOT with this dealership!

Couldn't agree more jwork435. I'm still waiting for FCA to complete the buy back. Offer agreed and paperwork signed over 2 weeks ago. Process since agreement with FCAs been over 2 months across 4 different FCA departments. Unfortunately my dealer disappeared. Would NOT entertain a swap...

I had a similar thought jwork435. Just wasn't sure what that 'magical' date would be. Is anyone hearing of these issues for builds after Mar 2020? As much as I want to walk away and get a different vehicle, it keeps pulling me back in....:surprised:

Welp....finally received my buy back offer. It took some time (primarily my pain and suffering) but I will say that the FCA is making it right. This is my JT that will be going back to the dealers in a couple of weeks. Thought I could walk away, but after going 'naked', I kinda want to give...

Tapping out as well. Finalizing buyback and walking away. Not the new vehicle experience I was anticipating. Great people on the site and wish all the best.

Update on the ongoing saga of the dreaded CEL & ESS light (been in the shop 3 times). I just picked up my JT yesterday after a complete engine replacement, as requested by FCA engineers. Back out of my drive this morning and low and behold the ESS light returns. I Left a message with the...

SJK - Everything's been handled through FCA, although not complete yet. I had to escalate within FCA, which in itself is somewhat challenging. Dealership also escalated to the FCA regional POC, which helped. I didn't need to assert Lemon Law due to the issues, but would have if necessary...

Sorry to hear the bad news SJK. Mine is/was similar. 62 days of ownership. 40 days in the shop on 3 occasions -- CEL/ESS lights (still in the shop). I put less than 300 miles on the JT. FCA buyback is in process. I really do love the JT but not sure I'll buy another one. This process is...

FCA has already agreed to repurchase. Didn’t need to get legal representation. In MN. It’s out of service for 30 business days and/or 4 service events on the same issue. Waiting to hear back from the FCA purchase and reaquisition team. Undecided on purchasing another Gladiator. Wife has a...

On the 2nd attempt to fix my JT, the FCA Engineers replaced VVL solenoids on both banks along with rockers and lash adjusters on cylinders 5/6. Additionally they replace both CAM phasers that set the codes along with the OCV for those phasers installed. Zero success. Was back in the shop 2...

Interesting approach....I should have heeded the advice. :-) Gladiator owner for 48 days. JT's been in the shop for 28 of those days on 3 occasions and counting. ESS/CEL lights consistent with other owners. 1st remediation was replace secondary battery. Fail.... 2nd remediation replaced VVL...

I’m with you @jwork435. T Similar build date as mine. After 3 visits, they are now replacing the engine. Dealer stated FCA was buying back my Gladiator.

Good Luck @Gameshow. Hope everything works out!
