2021 Jeep Gladiator transmission complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 72 of 72, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
