2020 JEEP GLADIATOR — Complaint #1651646
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS filed March 4, 2020
NHTSA complaint #1651646 (ODI reference 11316012) concerns a 2020 JEEP GLADIATOR and was filed on March 4, 2020. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 29, 2020. The vehicle had 1,200 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Washington based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as exterior lighting:hazard flashing warning lights, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: yes, fire: no, injuries: 2, fatalities: 0. A complaint that flags a crash, fire, or fatality is escalated on NHTSA's internal review queue and factors more heavily into any Preliminary Evaluation decision on this make and model. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same JEEP GLADIATOR cohort independently describe similar exterior lighting:hazard flashing warning lights failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data.
