2023 JEEP GLADIATOR Electrical System Problems

This version of the jeep has two batteries, a main and auxiliary. The auxiliary battery is used to power the cpus and such. Tens of thousands of Jeep owners have to disable this aux battery. This is due to both batteries not being charged and charged in a way that destroys both batteries. The cause of this is an engineering fault. Two batteries in parallel as in this case MUST be that same voltage and chemistry. Jeep has engineered the process to allow the aux battery to run down independent of the main. This unbalanced electrical situation destroys both batteries. Jeep will do nothing about it, the mechanics are in denial about it and can only return the vehicle back to it's defective state.

I was turning a corner and as soon as I made the turn, the truck completely stalled. Lights were on and the screen was prompting me to step on the brake and press start even though the gear was on Drive. The gear wouldn't shift to neutral to at least remove the car from the busy street. The dash lights were flashing and as I tried to restart the car, it just made a grinding sound. Almost got hit by two other vehicles. No other symptoms observed other than when on a freeway a few months ago, the vehicle was having difficulty switching to a higher gear in a stop and go traffic. It was stuck at 30mph even when gas pedal was engaged and everyone behind and around were picking up higher speed than 30.

This Jeep gladiator has not started on several occasions. And is now stuck in our driveway not turning over the engine. This apparently is a known problem and has stranded my family. Has Also stopped all the electrical with the engine driving down the road when my husband was returning from work, this is a safety issue please respond.

2023 Jeep Gladiator with 8000 miles shut off while driving down the highway at approximately 40 Mph. Service Electronic Throttle Control light illuminated. Coasted to a stop and put the vehicle in park. Vehicle wouldn’t restart. Vehicle is currently at the dealership awaiting service.

Went, to start the Jeep. No power to anything, dead. Waited a bit tried again nothing. Called Jeep and they sent a wrecker out. he tried to jump nothing. ended up towing to the dealer. They found no issue. Then Jeep sent this letter to me after a few conversations. They must have a problem they do not want to fix.

This Gladiator had at the time less than 5k miles on it. I went to start the Jeep and there was no power. No lights, not starting nothing. I called the dealer. They would not deal with me without going through JEEP WAVE, Called a tow company to tow to the dealer purchased from. The tow truck driver tried to jump the jeep with his portable system. We did get a few lights, still not starting. When the Jeep was delivered to the dealer the service clerk witnessed the same issues. The jeep was then taken to service and put on its charger and it started. I asked what would have drained the battery, but did not explain why this would have happened. The dealer kept the Jeep for a week. They could not reproduce the issue. Jeep Wave called and offered to pay me a sum of money to forget about this problem. From my research, this is an ongoing issue with the Gladiator and it stems from the Aux Battery. When I ask Jeep and the dealer about it they act as if they have no clue as to what I am talking about. All one has to do is google this problem. There are plenty of people having the same issues.

Was driving and my vehicle came up and said I had an issue with the electrical power steering assist system and was going to shut off. I was waiting at a red light the vehicle put itself in park and shut down. I restarted the vehicle and it would not move out of park or any of the windows or radio controls would function. I upon restarting four more times was able to get it back into drive and return home. The steering functioned fine but the radio, back up camera, aux power port, and windows still do not work. Once I returned home this seems to be a reoccuring problem on the Gladiator and Jeep Wrangler platforms. Seems these vehicle throw either one of two codes which I am not sure which mine is but considering the light is out for check engine I am going to say I have the P0563 error and not the P0562 which from what I am reading leaves the light on in most instances. My vehicle has 1803 miles on it and was purchased the first week of April 2023.
