After voiding their warranty for driving in the mud, this unfortunate owner was left with no other options.
The Jeep Gladiator is designed to tackle tough terrain from steep hills and muddy bogs to deep rivers. It came as a surprise, then, when one owner, Cara, a.k.a. JeepGladiatorForum user Gladiatrix, voided her warranty after plowing it through a mud bath. Ironically, it was even fitted with special mud tires.
To recap, caking the truck in mud damaged the alternator, radiator, and both batteries. One dealer quoted $3,000 for the repairs, while another fixed the alternator but didn t think the other parts needed replacing. A few months later, the rear axle locked up, causing the truck to fishtail on a highway and nearly causing an accident. From there, the nightmare situation only got worse.
