I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK 3 WEEKS NOW AND ABOUT 1,000 MILES. THE ISSUE I HAVE US WITH THE STEERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ESPECIALLY. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A MODERN DAY VEHICLE WITH THIS MUCH STEERING PLAY.

THE STEERING BOX HAS AN UNACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF PLAY ACCORDING TO 49 CFR 570.60 - STEERING SYSTEM. IT HAS MORE THAN 2 INCHES (1 TO EACH SIDE) OF PLAY AND REQUIRES CONSTANT ADJUSTMENT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE GOING STRAIGHT. FCA HAS REVISED THE STEERING BOX 5 TIMES SO FAR AND IS ATTEMPTING TO MASK IT WITH A STEERING DAMPER WHICH DOES NOT DO ANYTHING FOR THE LASH BEING OUT OF SPEC FOR THE VEHICLE.

Owner report 11342146 · 2020-07-29 (July 29, 2020)

LEASED BRAND NEW GLADIATOR. NOTICED AT SPEEDS ABOVE ~40MPH, VEHICLE WANDERS. THE STEERING FEELS VERY LOOSE, RESULTING IN NEEDING TO ACTIVELY STEER THE VEHICLE JUST TO KEEP IT GOING STRAIGHT (NOT AN ISSUE WITH ALIGNMENT). WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLES PASSES ME, IT PULLS ME TOWARDS THEIR LANE (LIKE WHEN A SEMI PASSES). TOOK IT IN TO DEALER 3 TIMES WITHIN A MONTH OF OWNING IT, WHO SAID IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS DUE TO THE NEW ELECTRICAL STEERING. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. IT IS NOT SAFE.

THE STEERING HAS TOO MUCH PLAY BEFORE ACTUALLY TURNING TO EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. THIS IS VERY NOTICEABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS MAKES THE TRUCK WANDER HAVING TO CORRECT IT CONSTANTLY AND WHEN HITTING THE BRAKES IT MAKES THE TRUCK PULL TO EITHER SIDE. I HAVE BEEN NEAR HITTING OTHER CARS AND CONSTANTLY CORRECTING THE WHEEL TO STAY IN LANE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I OWNED A JL THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE UNTIL THE DAMPNER RECALL WAS DONE.

On 12/2/22 while driving at 70 mph, I suddenly lost power steering. Every system warning light came on and windshield wipers began running when this happened. I managed to get it to the side of the road, but it has zero gauges, no acceleration, cannot shift, and cannot be shut off. After 30 minutes, the warnings began to clear themselves and I was able to safely drive it to a dealer. The battery was assumed to be the issue and it was replaced.

transmission will not shift all the time and gets hung up! After following a group this seems to be a problem with the gladiator automatic transmission. It will not shift into reverse and shifts hard from 3rd to 4th. This should be a recall due to so many people having issues and the only thing to fix it is to get a new transmission.

The start-stop system reports unavailable, then within a few miles of driving, the check engine light will come on, followed by problems with the transmission shifting gears, sometime causing the vehicle to stay in first or second gear while accelerating and creating a dangerous driving situation. Power cycling the vehicle sometimes helps. Diagnostic trouble codes show low voltage in one or more O2 sensors, "too lean" warnings and cylinders randomly misfiring.
