    I have a Jeep Gladiator 2022 overland! I already got a factory recall on the idling issue and the dealer did a diagnostic test and updated my programming, and no issues were found! I love my Jeep Gladiator! I drove a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee for 20 years and my 1998 Jeep Wrangler for 19 years! I loved them all and never had any major problems with any of them 💯! Good luck with your Gladiator ❗️

    2022 Sport S Max Tow coming up on a year. Not a single issue. Only oil changes. Auto SS works flawless. I have always left it on and do nothing and it works. Drive smooth. Steering tight. No complaints at all. Sometimes it is the individual car. Had a nice Landrover and it had so many weird electrical issues that never would fix. Always ended up with a dead battery. Jeep is outstanding. Had a TJ back in 97 and it also was perfect.

    I've had jeeps for over 40 years. About 5 years ago, I owned nine jeeps. I'm down to 4 now. Most of my older jeeps had over 2 hundred thousand miles on them. In fact, one I had, I gave to my son-in-law when I gave it to him it had 192 thousand miles on it. It now has 400 thousand miles on it. If you keep up with the maintenance on them you'll have a lot less problems. Yes, I have a gladiator now to, love it.

    Yea had ours for three weeks with no issues, stop/start has been fine but only works intermittently, something to do with operating temp and climate control settings. But I love the truck, no towing package and just a Sport S with stock 245/75-17 Dueler AT tires that have highway tread, that rides great, too soft in the rear if anything, but very forgiving. Great in heavy rain.

    Almost 4 years in my Mojave, +33k. Had it since new. Never seen a check engine light yet (knock on wood). Just recently did both batteries for close to $900, stop start feature stopped working; truck batteries probably went bad because truck sat for over 2 months at one point. So far, has been bulletproof reliable.

  • @paladin11C40

    I have a 2022 Gladiator Rubicon, I have not had any problems with it. I currently have it set up for overlanding with a roof top tent. I have a winch, and extra lights, but no lift or bigger tires yet. I have taken it on many trails in Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. The only thing I wish Jeep engineers would have done is put a lock on the rear seats so they wont come up when locked, similar to what they did to the seat backs. If you keep things under the rear seat and take your doors off, all of that stuff can be stolen, and I have recovery gear under my seats.
    First off, I did not buy my Gladiator to haul or tow, I bought it for wheeling and being able to take the doors and roof off. This truck is great for what I use it for, which is not a work truck.
    I have around 22,500 miles on it. I am getting ready to head to Colorado for 10 days next week for some wheeling fun.

    Landed my first jeep 2 days ago finally at 50 years old. I was so bored with cars and trucks since ive owned almost everything, from hellcats, to cadillacs, to fullsize suvs, i just was ok with driving dependable beaters for 4 years. Saw the Glad Nighthawk and it had just the things i wanted in the package, plus color Anvil. Its quirky, a little old a little new just like me, i love this trucks personality, and am excited to now finally drive something new and fun again!

    The Aux battery problem is not a problem you trade in your jeep gladiator for. Its on every jeep gladiator so its going to die again like all batteries do and leave you stranded if you ignore the Stop/Start Not Ready warning which preceeds an Aux battery failure. It failed on my Mojave cause I didnt know what that warning meant. You can replace it again or bypass it by removing a fuse and a couple of cables but dont trade it in😂😂😂

  • @LaurenceHoneytoast
    @LaurenceHoneytoast 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    The most wear an engine endures is on startup. Now with a start-stop feature, it starts and stops at every stop sign and red light you encounter. They have done this for emissions reasons and it is such a bad idea for the engine's longevity too complex for my taste, especially with something that is supposed to be "offroad tough" and capable. Jeep used to be tough when it was a Willys Jeep back in the military days, they were simple field-ready, and easy to fix, but those days are long gone. They are great-looking trucks there is no arguing that it looks good that's it. Stellantis knows how to market to people who don't understand nor care cause they won't keep it long enough to deal with the problems. Let's see that truck at 300k if it goes that far. My 2 cents.

  • @jakey20022

    But once you have a JEEP especially if you live in a part of the USA where it snows I mean really snows . You will smile and wave at people in "SUV'S" with AWD and all season tires as they are stuck or having issues getting stuck .

  • @georgesebastian6306
    @georgesebastian6306 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    The auto stop/start problem extends across the spectrum of JK and JL Jeeps. In fact I have an appointment with the dealer for my 2020 JL tomorrow. I have come to the opinion that they don't have a clue why the function does not work properly. The dealer just got a "new" battery tester and now they are going to fix it. Various users will swear that the main and aux batteries both need to be changed and there is a school of thought that the IBS module is the problem. I believe it is a combination of all three. The Intelligent Battery Sensor needs to be "trained" over several daily ignition start/stop functions with eight hour off periods. When the dealer changed the IBS module they told me that the AUX battery was only charged to 57% but would recharge over time. My suspicion is that the IBS module is keeping the AUX battery from getting a full charge. The auto start/stop may work for a few days then quit. A 140 mile drive yesterday had the auto start/stop working last night but I suspect it won't work today! Will keep you posted!

  • @33SkidRowe
    @33SkidRowe ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have the 2020 white Gladiator Sport. I had the Stop/Start issue that was resolved by replacing the aux battery. My engine runs very smooth and I contribute that to a practice I have been using for years. Naprhalene is a product that is produced by refining crude oil or distilling coal oil. It it easily purchased in the form of "mothballs". It will disolve directly back into gasoline and boost performance while cleaning the fuel system through to the exhaust valves. This is accomplished by the resulting NO2 and hydrogen . Also a slight acidity that helps clean the system. Addition of one morhball to each 5 gallons will keep everything clean and provide a increase in mileage noted on trips but not on daily driving.

    This happens with my 2018 jeep grand Cherokee- trail hawk addition. When the light comes on it throws a cam shaft position sensor code. It does bog it down as far as power feel. And if I drive it about 20ish miles it turns off. Starts with a auto stop start light in the dash tho. Looking at a 2024 gladiator rubicon x trim but thinking hard about it. 😅

    I was back and forth between a 2021 Mojave but when a gorgeous blue 2021 Rubicon Gladiator rolled off the truck...MINE. Still have it, 16000 miles. Only issue I've had was the speedo display had some dead LEDs on it. Replaced under warranty. I use it to tow my boat and cargo trailer. I also used it to move house from Missouri to Florida. I always enjoy climbing in it to drive it.

    I have a 2020 Sport S 6 speed manual I bought back in April 22' used. It had 17,900 miles on it at the time and currently has a little over 27k. I have had no issues up to this point. The only thing I did have was a software problem with the radio and control panel underneath it which was corrected by a couple updates. It had something to do with the Apple car play. Otherwise, I love driving the Gladiator and get a ton of compliments on it. I was lucky because it already had a lot of upgrades done to it that I didn't have to make! For example, it has a lift kit, 37" tires, 20" black wheels to name a few. I am definitely glad I bought it. I also enjoy your channel and keep up the good work.

    My dad bought a new 1974 Jeep J10 back when I was 15. That was one cool truck. I have a 1976 Jeep CJ-5, it is not stock, almost every part on it has been replaced. I've set it up several different ways in the past 25 years I've had it. I would never buy a truck or car with a computer in it. I spent 41 years as a government fleet services mechanic working on that trash. Constant problems with the computer electronics. We would have seven or eight vehicles a day come in with the check engine light on, but still running fine. But being a government department, we had to fix it. We spent more time diagnosing and repairing things that made the check engine light come on than just about anything else. Huge expense to the taxpayers, and whoever brought the vehicle in had to go without it until it was fixed. Often vehicles would come in for routine service with the check engine light on. Whoever that vehicle had been assigned to knew if they brought it in just for that light knew they would probably be without the vehicle for a couple of days, and unable to do their job. We did have a few loaner vehicles (older vehicles that would have been turned in for auction) but we saved them for employees of other departments to use while their vehicle was being worked on if they really needed it. I stick with carbureted vehicles only, and they have been nearly 100% reliable. Plus you can work on them without thousands of $$$ worth of diagnostic equipment and vehicle specific software.

    The auto stop issue on the JT’s and wranglers is a real issue. That with the engine oiling issue on start up. I immediately removed the auto start feature and aux battery. Then i out the baxter oil system on it to eliminate poor oiling on start up. Once done, then your pretty good imo. Having a lack of oiling on top the engine on start up, then putting a auto start stop function on that engine seems to me to be asking for premature wear. Im now T 70,000 miles. All good so far.

      Start Stop is ignorant enviro-nanny crap. Just turn it off. The Gladiator is my 3rd Jeep. I had a Comanche, still own my 2010 Wrangler. Manual transmission daily drivers. Picked up Gladiator in October of last year. Love the wind, love the noise. Will not drive anything else. I am 75 years old. If the Jeep is too much for you, there are plenty of Prius cars out there. Overpay for one of those and stop watching Jeep videos.

    I'm sorry a check engine light coming on and never actually finding out what the actual issue and saying the gladiator isn't reliable is not acceptable. Dude a check engine light can come on if you leave your fuel cap off and drive the vehicle. It could have been something stupid simple. Now my 2020 gladiator had alot of real issues, the transfer case had a leak, the rear lock solenoid failed, the infotainment failed and the back window leaked. Those are real issues but I still bought another one🤣 I love them as well.

    Love my '21 Rubicon Gladiator, it has been very good from day 1, no issues. That is, up until I installed a set of larger (Quadratec Hard Rock 17" X 8.5" wide) aftermarket wheels with 35" tires (B.F. Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO2). From the on-line company I ordered the package from, the balance job they did was terrible. Took it to the dealer I purchased the Jeep from to have all 4 rebalanced and they are still bad. Issue appears to be mostly in the rear. May have to try to find a tire shop that can do a better job.

But, if you're buying tires thinking a tire is a tire. Trying to save a few bucks. You'll see this happening from time to time. If the tire is out of round. It'll never balance out. You'll have to buy tires again. I've seen this happen to a few people, unfortunately. Buy tires and rims from legit business. You may pay more.

Occasionally, when I know, I’m gonna go on a long drive I put two bottles of feel injector cleaner and top off the tank.

Not nearly enough field testing being done on these vehicles before sending them to dealers. We (the general public) are becoming their test mules and they (the manufacturers) just issue service bulletins whenever enough people complain or die.
