2023 Jeep Gladiator Safety and Reliability

The NHTSA has not performed a thorough review of the Jeep Gladiator, so it currently does not have an overall safety rating. It received four out of five stars for a frontal crash and a disappointing three out of five for a rollover. To date, it still hasn't been sent to the IIHS for evaluation, but we expect full reviews of the Jeep Gladiator from both authorities in due course.

As a fresh contender in the pickup truck segment, Jeep could have led the way. Unfortunately, it let an amazing opportunity slip through its fingers. On the traditional side, you get four airbags (dual front and front side), a rearview camera, stability and traction control, hill-start assist, and tire-pressure monitoring. All of the driver-assistance features are optional, including blind-spot monitoring, rear park assist, adaptive cruise control, and forward-collision warning. To be fair, this is regrettably the standard in this particular segment. At least Honda's Ridgeline breaks the mold by offering a more comprehensive advanced safety suite as standard.

The Jeep Gladiator pickup has not had the easiest life so far. In its introductory 2020 model year, there were five recalls in total, and three each for 2021 and 2022. Some of the issues mentioned included front seat belt tensioners failing, potential fuel pump failure, and the possibility of the vehicle rolling away due to a malfunctioning parking mechanism. The 2023 model year is recall-free at the time of writing.

Jeep offers a three-year/36,000-mile warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty.
