2020 JEEP GLADIATOR — Complaint #1855219
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:CALIPER filed November 22, 2022
NHTSA complaint #1855219 (ODI reference 11494574) concerns a 2020 JEEP GLADIATOR and was filed on November 22, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on November 11, 2022. The vehicle had 33,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Texas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, air:disc:caliper, 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: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. 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 service brakes, air:disc:caliper failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2020 JEEP GLADIATOR shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2020 Jeep Gladiator. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, he heard a scraping sound inside the vehicle. The contact then stated that while he pulled into a service station, the brake pad and caliper bracket assembly detached and got caught in the rear passengerâs side wheel, causing the tire to be punctured. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was provided a case number, but no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 33,000.
