2022 JEEP GLADIATOR Engine Problems

The camshaft went out, along with the rocker arms, cam phasers, there is a box on the passenger side wheel well that goes out and will not allow the truck to shift or go into park. There is now something wrong with the automatic start/stop as the light continues to be on in the dash. Things started to go out as soon as the warranty expired… The truck has 80kmi. We fix one problem only for more to pop up. We purchased the jeep brand new and everything since it has had one problem after another.

Vehicle Caught Fire while parked and off - the business "stellantis" has been unresponsive to all calls/attempts at help/resolution

Component Affected: Engine – Camshaft and Rocker Arms Summary of the Problem: My 2022 Jeep Gladiator experienced a failure of the camshaft and rocker arms due to scoring on the camshaft. This issue occurred at approximately 52,000 miles. The vehicle is currently inoperable (on and off flashing check engine light) Dealership gave me the vehicle back to drive while awating parts for repair. The required components are on national backorder with an estimated delay of over 4 weeks, leaving me without a functioning/safe vehicle. Safety Concern: This failure occurred without warning and could have led to a dangerous situation if it had happened while towing. I use this vehicle to tow a 3,500 lb camper, which is well within its rated towing capacity (6,500 lbs). The sudden loss of engine performance could pose a serious safety risk, especially on highways or in remote areas. Additional Notes: I am reporting this...

I am filing a safety complaint concerning my [Year] Jeep Gladiator (VIN: [Insert VIN]), which has experienced two high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) failures—the latest occurring on [XXX]. This issue is directly related to the Jeep HPFP recall previously issued in 2023. After the first HPFP failure, the fuel system—including the pump, injectors, fuel lines, rails, filter, and tank—was replaced under warranty using Jeep’s reengineered HPFP component. The vehicle then sat at the dealership for five months awaiting parts and repair. Jeep also issued a compensation check, which I accepted based on the belief that the reengineered pump was a permanent fix. However, the same failure occurred again on [XXX], requiring a nearly identical replacement of the full fuel system. The recurrence of this failure, even after the “fix” Jeep implemented through the recall, raises serious concerns about the reliability and safety of the reengineered HPFP. I am concerned this is...

Engine began making a ticking noise and quickly began misfiring and displaying error messages. Dealership diagnosed issue as a camshaft failure, and which is a very common issue on the 3.6L V6. Issue happened on a rural road at night, but could've been a serious safety issue if it had happened in a different setting.

The engine turned off while driving multiple times. Unexpected loss of engine power while at highway speeds forced us to maneuver to shoulder on busy highway in 70 mph zone. The dealership service team has not been able to reproduce the event or confirm it happened. The dealership service team inspected the vehicle. There were no warnings, lights, or symptoms before or after, that would have indicated the engine power loss event to us before or after the event occurred, in any of the occurrences.

Warning lights come up on the dashboard often (brake failure, airbag failure, steering failure, start/stop needs servicing, transmission needs servicing, pullover safely car will turn off, car not in park but it is and won’t turn off) the car turns itself on and off all day. From the beginning the vehicle had electrical issues, not connecting to my phone or Bluetooth, the screen not working, locking and unlocking only working from the key not using the passive entry and having to start the push button by pushing it with the key or it wouldn’t work, it’s gotten progressively worse and now mid drive it will slam to a stop like it hit a wall, flash all the system failure lights then just all the instrument panel lights, it turns on the windshield wipers, the hazards do not work, the headlights start flashing independently etc. it will not turn off or...

Our 2022 Gladiator has 1,758 miles on it and no modifications. It was last driven about two weeks ago. It burned to the ground [XXX] while parked next to our house. The fire started in the engine compartment. There were no warnings of symptoms and our jeep app showed everything was normal when last driven. It was investigated by the VRFA and I am waiting for their report. Insurance has not yet inspected. We reported it to the dealership we bought it from. On the [XXX] website, there is another 2022 Gladiator, also low mileage, that also burned to the ground while parked. That person's insurance stated that they believe it burned due to a manufacturer defect but there are no recalls.

Not just not repair for faulty fuel pump as they continue to mfg vehicles but has electrical issues going to limp mode without warning causing dangerous issues driving with no power and lack of operational system. Stellantis refuses to honor warranty or repair. Asked me to fix issues myself. A 50k vehicle I can't use and pay $900 per month.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Gladiator. The contact stated while driving approximately 45-50 MPH, the horn, windshield wipers, and several unknown warning lights were illuminated and flashing. The vehicle turned on and off until the battery drained. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the auxiliary battery, fuse, fuse box, and battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. While driving, the vehicle turned on and off. The electrical system was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to another local dealer, Griffin Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Valdosta (4164 N Valdosta Rd, Valdosta, GA 31602) to be diagnosed and it was determined that the fuse box needed to be replaced. The parts were on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no additional assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 16,700.

2022 JEEP GLADIATOR. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO ENGINE RATTLING WHILE DRIVING UPHILL & STEERING WOBBLE.

My 2022 Gladiator with only 2700 miles on it locked up at a stop light. Every light on the dash was blinking, and the wipers came on. I couldn’t move the shifter, or turn the Jeep back on. Hazard lights would not come on initially. Not being able to move the vehicle or turn on hazard lights on a busy 6 lane road was extremely scary. I have never had a vehicle do anything like this before. I had it towed to the dealership. I explained what happened and they had never heard of this before. I have read of it happening on social sites and forums. I feel uncomfortable driving it even if they repair it. I bought this vehicle less than 60 days ago as of this message.

The check engine light came on and said the vehicle will be shutting down and the vehicle died while driving and wouldn't restart! It said to service the power steering, vehicle not in service electronic stability control. It currently still won't restart. It has 300 miles and is one week old.
