Not really a thing. Couple of unverified complaints of "spontaneous" fires, an attempt to scrounge up enough people for a class-action, but nothing of substance ever showed up.

Read away... Also, it appears the parties stipulated to a stay. No longer have access to a PACER account so don't know why or for how long.

Man, I haven't heard of a JT fire in months! It sort of raised its head, then went back to sleep.
Is that still even a thing?

Probably the guys deleting the Aux battery causing the fires.
Man. That is just a joke boys!

Come on man, two of those were while in use (not off), one was due to excessive modification, and one was due to an issue during service.https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/gladiator-burndown-anyone-we-know.70510/

One fire reported here a couple of years ago or so was likely the clutch issue.....

The spontaneous ones are supposedly attributed to the electric power steering pump. High amperage power wires. I check mine often, and plan to eliminate it as soon as possible. A winter steering project is the goal.

Maybe...

"However, Fiat Chrysler told NHTSA it was aware of several thermal events originating at the power steering pump electrical connectors. The fires occurred on the front passenger side of the engine compartments, and that's where the power steering pumps are located."

And yet weren't these while sitting, off? There's no draw to create heat unless you have it running and are steering. Electrical fires are caused by high draw across a connection with resistance. If it was the end, it should happen while driving or within moments of shutdown.

Just so you know.... every issue that you will ever read about with the Gladiators also happens to other vehicles from other manufacturers as well. But when you're only concerned with the vehicles that you own, that's mostly what you will hear/read about.
