Picked up my Gladiator Rubicon from Mac Haik Georgetown. Drove it home to CA with no issues- planned for a lift and bigger tires. 1500mi later, 1wk, I'm driving to work and I hear a loud thump up front. I pulled over, and saw no damage or leaks. I kept driving to work, truck kept bucking so I slowed it down. The popping noise and bucking was so bad I had to contact a tow to take my truck to a local dealer. It's been at the dealer for 3 days now, dealer tells me it is a loose wire in the drivetrain. Part needs to be ordered and won't be in until Monday. Hopefully installed and trouble shooted by Tuesday. 60k truck and in service after 1st week of purchasing is completely UNSAT for Jeep. I was planning my 1st off road adventure with the family in the Gladiator during Labor Day but that didn't happen.
I'm not sure if I want to keep this truck, the popping and bucking was really extreme. To me it sounded like parts broke - Jeep is only replacing a wire - WTF!?
