NHTSA has received 15 owner complaints about the 2025 Jeep Gladiator, or 8.4 per year on the road — far fewer complaints than typical (complaint index 0.21, where 1.00 is the average of all tracked vehicles). Among the 86 model-year 2025 vehicles we track, it ranks #16 of 86 by complaints per year (#1 = fewest). Against other Jeep models its rate is 87% lower; against other Midsize pickups it is 58% lower.
