Gremlins in the JT?

[Big John]

Try HGP gorilla glass windshield. It’s about $695 but has a two year warranty and may get a chip but they don’t spread! The glass is so much clearer than standard windshield!

I really want to buy the HGP Gorilla Glass but the company told me they don't make a windshield for the JT with all the electronic bollocks at the top centre of the glass.

I had the steering then the TSB fixed that.
The only other gremlin I have is if I get out of the Jeep while it is running it will freak out the blind spot monitoring until the next time I restart the Jeep. Dealer "fixed" twice but not really.

I read that somewhere - the original type pits HORRIBLY with sand and teeny rocks kicked up on the highways. Mine is a year old and it always looks dirty and spotted from the nicks in the glass. (second glass, BTW)

I have the auto start/stop warning light constantly on regardless of it being enabled. Must be a known relay issue going on...

with mine, the auto start/stop light never went on. when the surge happened, it fried the fuse board and everything would basically shut down, or in this last case it shut down then the lights would flash all over the place.

No image on screen from back up camera - both settings...

And now my backup camera works fine. I guess I had the equivalent of the Levi’s Edition Gremlin

3rd Gladiator I have owned, Windshields on all three were leaking from factory. 1st one had the fender liner recall after it caught on fire, 2nd one had real bad door seal leaks in car wash, 3rd and current has an intermittent surge of power/ gas while at low RPM. It feels like the old trucks when your clutch was slipping. Any suggestions?

We're sorry to hear of these multiple concerns, Henson002098. If the current one is still unresolved, we are happy to take a look. Send our team a private message with more details, including the last time it was at the dealer.

Where did you order your Gorilla Glass Windshield from. I am only finding quotes for $800 or more.

Just had this today. Was on a longer trip and gas went down to 35 miles range. Parked on an incline, then the fuel indicator went from 1 bar up to almost 1/4 and range went up to 58 miles. I was like... guess I found the auto refuel setting.

Actual Gremlins! Two of them!
1. My driver-side door lock buttons stopped working. Key fob and keyless entry still work fine, but the button on the door won't lock or unlock the other doors.
2. My sun visor broke and now dangles. Taped it up for the time being to keep it out of view.

Warranty visit has been scheduled. Asked them about steering box TSB while I was at it. I figure, why not? Get a better steering box to eliminate potential issues for when I lift and slap on 35s.

Just had a really strange radio issue two days ago. Was driving and my audio (android auto tidal music) started cutting out ever two seconds. Rebooted phone, didn't work. Restarted car, same issue. Disconnected android auto and switched to bluetooth, exact same issue. Phone call still audio cut every two seconds.

Started backing into the driveway at home and got a blue screen with camera unavailable. Exited and pulled it back up and it worked. Put into park then revers and it stopped working. tried manually cycling and it would either work or not every time I launched it from the app. Cargo cam input seemed to work though just about every time.

Later that day and the last two days everything has worked completely fine. I am at a loss unless there was just a visiting gremlin. lol

7 months, 16k+ miles

Only issues are premature steering wheel wear (waiting on a warranty replacement) and a broken windshield

Gremlins resolved! Service appointment went fine, they replaced the broken sun visor and the door lock switch had disconnected, so easy fix after the panel was removed to gain access. The steering TSB, now... I guess I never realized how much of a deadspot actually was in the steering wheel, but the new steel steering box eliminated it all but completely. Definitely more responsive with less micro corrections when driving on straight-aways. A bit firmer of a feel overall and a nice (free) upgrade under warranty. If you have a 2020, I'd recommend making the appointment. Can't speak for all dealerships, but my experience was hassle free.

Other than the TSB for the steering box, I've not encountered another issue with my Gladiator. I realize that a forum probably exasperates the number of issues we see/hear about, but did Futterman get it right? I've only owned Jeeps and not experienced any reliability issues. Are these normal annoyances? I get overwhelmed just reading what some other forum members experience!!!

Edit: Can we just all agree that Gremlins is, in fact, a Christmas movie as well? Thanks!

I got some weird stuff going on,auto stop start isn't working,I lost all engine parameters from my gage cluster and my cruise control is acting wonky also check engine light for particulate filter
