I have a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon that only has 12500 miles and I just got the surprise dash light show and shut down at the end of October this year. I have found the problem and had it fixed under warranty only because I had a extended warranty. I'm just letting owners know in case they start having this problem. I have read and seen videos with similar problems. Mine happened to be the power steering pump module was shorting out the communication wires. I started unplugging the wires one at a time on the star connector behind the glove box until the problems stopped and the only dash light was the service the power steering was on. When I pulled the communication plug at the power steering pump everything on the Jeep worked except the power steering. When I tested the voltage at the plug it was right at 2.4 or 2.5 in each wire. But when it is plugged back in and tested at the star connector it was high at 6 or 7 volts. I think it is a bad design when one problem in the communication system causes you to loose everything else that won't let you drive safely to a garage or home. When my warranty runs out I will change my power steering system to a belt drive system to eliminate this happening again. I seen a video where a 2020 Gladiator had the same problem but they had mud all over everything from off road use. I have never taken mine off road yet. That is something I will do after I retire because I don't have time for that right now. Hope this helps someone in the future.
