Example complaints
Electrical system: “I was turning right and while turning the vehicle froze on me, these included the steering wheel brakes and almost crash into upcoming traffic since it was hard to turn I end up in the upcoming traffic lane”
NHTSA complaint #11709485, filed 2026-01Other or unknown: “2025 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon X. I have experienced two separate incidents in less than a month where the vehicle accelerated suddenly and violently, while attempting to park in my garage. Both incidents resulted to significant damage to a parked vehicle, and the building structure. Both incidents were completely random and unexpected. I assumed the first on was caused by something I did. I know with 100% certainty, that the second was not. My research indicate this might be related to a faulty Hill Start Assist control module. …”
NHTSA complaint #11745476, filed 2026-06Fuel system: “I was driving my 2025 jeep gladiator, on several occasions I tried to stop and my jeep didn't want to stop, the jeep wanted to keep accelerating (i was not using cruise control) . I stepped on the brake and it felt squishy but did stop the vehicle (it only feels this way when the uncontrolled acceleration is happening). Once was pulling into our driveway and it almost rearended my husband pick up. It also has happened several other times. It seems like it only happens when making a turn. I will be addressing this with the dealer when I go for the oil change today.”
NHTSA complaint #11745542, filed 2026-06Vehicle speed control: “After getting gas and attempting to turn around in the parking lot the vehicle on its own accord while my foot was holding the brake attempted to speed up like cruise control was taking over on its on”
