The clutch has been slipping for a while. Over the last week the situation has become worse. Today the slippage resulted in failing to accelerate ended up in a stall while on the on ramp on a highway and narrowly escaped being rear ended by an 18 wheeler which barely managed to stop 2 feet behind. The clutch on this vehicle has been deffective since I bought it (I have driven a manual truck for 20 years and never had problems). FCA has issued a recall (software update for fire hazard) which has been completed on this vehicle but in my opinion fire is not the only danger for this defective clutch. Clutch slippage and stalling is also a hazard. When this incident happened, and tried to get more information I realized there is a second recall for the same exact issue which the "software update" was supposed to fix. When the incident happened earlier today, the clutch was extremely hot and while it did not catch fire it slipped and put me in a dangerous situation. All the while the software update did not do anything. I urge NHTSA to force FCA/Stellantis to replace the clucth on all affected vehicles, or reimburse customers who like myself will do so at their own cost.

i replaced the gears to 513 at 5000 miles The locker went out at 17000 miles.. The locker is internal to the axle Went to jeep to try to get it covered under warranty and they have refused stating that changing the gears voids the warranty on anything in the axle This should not be valid as the locker was never touched.. There are 1000's of locker issues going on with the axle

My truck malfunctioned at an automatic car wash. It has approximately 54k miles. I had no warning lights or system alerts on vehicle or Uconnect app. I stopped in the parking lot & put the Gladiator in Park, I left the ignition on. I got off truck & got a towel to clean interior.There are several spaces to vacuum. I put the vehicle in DRIVE to move forward & out of the way of a patron that was going to reverse out. In DRIVE, I pushed the gas pedal in a slight & normal way. The truck REVERSED in DRIVE position. It accelerated to an unknown speed, it felt constant. I pushed break with foot I pushed D with. Right foot. The breaks didn-??t work. I tried breaking several times during incident, it was approximately 10 seconds. I didn-??t have time to use e- break. I don-??t believe back up camera was displayed. I concentrated on physically looking at surroundings & steering. I avoided hitting 1 car, a SUV & a brick wall. The truck made contact with around 4 trees & a sign. The damage was mainly to L side. There-??s damage to R side & R back tire had a bulge on it. I went over a concrete, grassy area & felt the impacts of front & back ends going over it & landing. I went over another concrete curve & hit a tree at an angle around the middle of front L cab. The impact caused the car to bounce forward. It didn-??t move. I put the truck in Park from D position. I pushed off button. I couldn-??t get out of truck of driver side door it-??s damaged. 1 witness & lady from suv stopped to check on me. I called police to crash site. He noted witness & lack of break marks. Roadside service wait was long, officer called one. I made a report to Uconnect that evening. They gave me a case # told me they-??d move vehicle to a dealer, inspect, analyze & call me. I-??ve called, recorded calls & told case was elevated to higher level & no info can be given to me. They refused to tell me where car was, if inspected, warranty info, or what malfunctioned.

Electrical system malfunction. Gladiator is burned down completely. Copart now has it under my insurance companies instruction. Large electrical fire. I took my vehicle into the dealer because the start stop feature stopped working. I received a call at the end of the day and was notified that both my batteries where bad. They replaced both under warranty and kept it over night for testing. Received a call the fallowing late morning informing my that my vehicle was repaired and was ready to be picked up. On my way home I was stopped at a light and noticed smoke coming out around the hood. I immediately pulled over and opened the hood. The electrical wire on the passenger side below the fuse panel were burning. I tried to put it out with a towel but was burned. I called 911 but by the time the fire department came it was too late.

I am getting a "service shifter" error and then my power steering goes out and the vehicle goes into "limp mode" This has happened at 70mph on the highway causing me to almost lose control of the vehicle around turns and slow down to an unsafe speed. I have taken it to multiple dealers that could not duplicate the issue but could see codes in the system. The vehicle is once again in the shop now and they are trying to blame everything but the Jeep itself. I know a few other Gladiator owners this has happened to.

Very concerned about the clutch pressure plate recall, I am paying a lot of money for this Jeep that I dont feel safe driving as it can catch on fire. The fact that there is no fix right now is ridiculous. I have driven Jeep my whole life and never had a life threatening issue like this. If there is no solid solution I will never get another fca again

- Livonia, MI, USA

There are now 2 recalls on manual transmission clutch failures. Original recall 20V124000 and a new one 21V028000. Both are for catastrophic pressure plate failures for clutch slipping, overheating and fragmenting. What is going to happen to all these pressure plates when the clutch disk wears down over time as is normal for a manual transmission and starts slipping then? it will most likely overheat these pressure plates and cause failure then. If these pressure plates are defective they need to be completely replaced and not just reroute electrical lines and reprogram the software to limit engine torque. Fix the issue!

It was towed from the mountains to the dealer in denver where it was discovered that the clutch was "charred". the Jeep had 16,000 miles on it.I have driven manual transmissions my entire life (I am 60 yrs old) and never had a clutch go under 100K on 6 vehicles

As I exited my vehicle I observed smoke coming from the hood vents. The engine bay then became fully engulfed in flames and the fire department responded to extinguish the fire. Vehicle is total loss.
