STEERING
I have a 2021 Jeep Gladiator Sport S 3.6L with an automatic transmission. I have been the only owner of the vehicle and bought it new in February 2021. The vehicle currently has just over 9700 miles. The only modification done to the vehicle are new wheels and tires. Today while out for a drive the Jeep suddenly experienced a malfunction. All lights and indicators on the dash began to flash various lights, alarms and warnings. The check engine light, ABS light, and airbag lights came on, along with the ECM warning, steering and traction control lights. The fuel level showed zero, then full, the warning screen flashed messages including: Speed Control, Messaging Unavailable, Service Required- No Bus, then switching to Service Electronic Stability Control, and a BRAKE warning appeared. Next, and most alarming, the vehicle showed the error AUTO PARK DISABLED which resulted in a loss of power steering control. The vehicle would not shift correctly and the engine switched on and off with the transmission indicator flashing all gears and the windshield wipers starting on their own, finally rotating to "Service Shifter" before starting the cycle over. Because I was on a back country road I was able to make a safe controlled stop. Had this occurred on a busy highway there could very easily have been an accident from loss of control. I do have video of the screen flashes and wipers activating.

STEERING
The steering is very loose and I have to correct the steering constantly. This is a new truck and is scary to drive. I can't go over 40 mph because it starts to wander and correcting its course causes it to wobble. When I come to a stop it pulls to one side and I have almost had a couple of accidents trying to keep the truck on course. The dealership will not fix it because there isn't an official memo from the manufacturer.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Gas "burps" back out when filling up. When filling up, after the gas nozzle shuts off with the first click, the Jeep instantly "burps" gasoline back out. I've performed 3 fill ups at different pumps, and this has occured in 2 out of those 3 fill ups.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE HAS IRREGULAR DOWNSHIFTS IN LOWER GEARS. WHILE BRAKING THE DOWNSHIFTS CAN BE HEARD AS WELL AS FELT. THE SOUNDS AND SHAKE FROM DOWNSHIFTS VARY IN LOUDNESS AND STRENGTH. OCCASIONALLY WHILE BRAKING AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS DOWNSHIFTING, THE VEHICLE WILL SURGE FORWARD. THE SURGE THAT CAN BE FELT CAN VARY AND SEEM LIKE THE VEHICLE IS BEING HIT FROM THE REAR BY ANOTHER VEHICLE OR SOMETIMES IT MAY FEEL LIKE A SLIGHT PUSH FROM BEHIND. WHILE DRIVING AND BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS LIKE IN A PARKING LOT THE SURGE FROM DOWNSHIFTS ARE A DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN. THE LOUD DOWNSHIFTS AS WELL AS THE SURGING DOES NOT HAPPEN ON EVERY DOWNSHIFT. A SEARCH OF ONLINE JEEP FORUMS REVEALED OTHER JEEP GLADIATOR OWNERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES WHILE OTHERS HAVE VERY SMOOTH SHIFTING VEHICLES. JEEP SHOULD BE AWARE OF ISSUES BUT CLEARLY WITH MY 2021 MODEL BEING THE SECOND YEAR OF PRODUCTION, THE PROBLEMS ARE NOT FIXED.
