2023 Gladiator with 800 miles won’t start.

I’m pretty sure that all you have to do is step on the brake and hit the button but on occasion my jeep won’t start. I gotta set it back to off by hitting the button a few times and go back and forth.

any one with experience here? I don’t see any codes.

Yes…..I have the key

Check the FOB Battery, and the brake system.

With the FOB in the cab and your foot on the brake, it should respond to the button push and start.

If the FOB Battery is weak or dead, it has to be put against the Start button to be recognized.

Some have reported trouble with the pressure in the brake system. It requires a hard press on the pedal to get the system to recognize it.

Thanks. I just picked it up last month. Do you think the batter would be dead?

It's a simple enough thing to eliminate. Probably spending more time talking about it than it would take to do it.

Also, do try his suggestion of stepping on the brake pedal harder. It needs to sense you're actually engaging it, not just touching it.

If you have 800 miles on it, I'd just take it to the dealer and make a warranty claim. If it is a bigger problem, they will find it and you will have documentation of it down the road. I'm all for DIY, but it seems silly to try to fix this on your own when you have a warranty.

I had a similar problem with my Ram at one time. If you have an Rfid protected wallet in you're front pocket and the fob in the same pocket the wallet can block the signal between the truck and fob.
