2020 Jeep Gladiator

The side mirror amber lights warning of a vehicle in the blind spot randomly illuminate and remain on for upwards of an hour or upon turning the vehicle off and back on. The dash randomly notifies me that the forward collision warning isn't available and both side mirror blind spot warning lights illuminate for upwards of an hour or until I turn off and restart the vehicle. The Dash randomly goes blank and doesn't display any information such as speed, RPM, warnings etc.

While driving under normal, clear road conditions, my center gauge cluster display went black. I have checked my fuses (both fuses that are assigned to the instrument cluster, both were functioning as designed) and disconnected the negative battery terminal to allow the system to reset with negative results. This puts my vehicle, and others, is an unsafe position because I am unable to tell anything about certain critical vehicle data such as engine temperature, fuel level, mileage, TMPS, etc. I have not taken the vehicle to the dealership yet because I don't feel comfortable driving it. There were no warning lights or problems prior to this issue presenting.

I was driving, accelerating into heavy traffic, and just about to go under an overpass (sunny day), when the Forward Collision System activated and hard-braked me to a stop, nearly causing an accident with the vehicle behind me. Although there was a car in front of me, it was not close and there was no danger of a collision (it was accelerating). Worse, no warnings came from the system until it started braking. This has happened several times, always in heavy traffic, and always on a underpass or lower bridge deck. I'm going to have to turn this system off, because I don't want to get rear-ended. My FCS is on the medium setting.

ONE OR MORE OF THE SUSPENSION KITS SOLD BY ROCK KRAWLER USED INFERIOR MATERIALS IN THE CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS THAT WILL BREAK DOWN WITH THE USE OF HYDROCARBONS (GREASE) CAUSING SLOP/PLAY IN THEM WHICH COULD CAUSE ERRATIC AND OR LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL PARTICULARLY IN THE FRONT ARMS. THEIR ARMS REQUIRE THAT THEY BE GREASED PERIODICALLY AS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THEY DID NOT MAIL OUT ANY NOTICES TO THE CUSTOMERS THAT PRUCHASED THE DEFECTIVE ARMS BUT RATHER LEFT IT UP TO THE CONSUMERS TO FIND OUT ON THEIR OWN. THEY HAVE A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE AND A LINK ON THEIR WEBSITE IN REFERENCE TO A TSB #2 BUT UNAWARE CUSTOMERS MAY BE IN JEOPARDY WITH THE SAFETY OF THEIR LIVES OR OTHERS. THE BUSHINGS AS THEY STATE WERE SUPPLIED BY DAYSTAR. HERE IS A LINK TO THEIR WEBSITE LISTING THE TSB'S: HTTPS://ROCKKRAWLER.COM/TECHNICAL-SERVICE-BULLETINS/

SINCE PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD LOOSE AND UNRESPONSIVE STEERING. IT CURRENTLY HAS 1600 MILES AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES. I AM TOLD THE STEERING GEAR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED UNDER A CAMPAIGN HOWEVER THERE IS NO DECAL AS OF YET. JEEP DOES NOT HAVE THE REQUIRED PARTS IN STOCK AND I AM BEING TOLD IT MAY BE MONTHS UNTIL A REPAIR IS AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE U CONNECT SYSTEM CRASHING WHICH ALSO CONTROLS MOST OF THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AND RENDERS MOST OF THOSE ITEMS LIKE THE HVAC INOPERABLE UNTIL THE SYSTEM IS RESET. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE CONSTANTLY PRESENT. THE STEERING ISSUE IS A NUSSINACE BELOW 40MPH AND NEARLY UNCONTROLLABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I FEEL COMPLETELY UNSAFE IN THE VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL SITS APPROX 15-20 DEGREES TO THE LEFT TO GO STRAIGHT AND YOU CAN MOVE THE WHEEL THE SAME DISTANCE TO THE RIGHT BEFORE IT REACTS. TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE YOU MUST CONSTANTLY OVER CORRECT THE WHEEL.
