Instrument cluster has failed at random. No blown fuses etc. no misuse or incidents. Instrument cluster working as normal when started at driven at days start. Started vehicle for second time same day to depart location and instrument cluster completely black and not working. This issue has not fixed itself over time, and is not linked to any other issue causing such. Issue also has not been resolved as a new cluster is almost $500. Instrument cluster not functioning makes it very unsafe to drive as well as makes it impossible to see or find any vital information pertaining to the vehicles health and performance. I can no longer access fuel levels, engine/oil/transmission/etc. temperatures. Oil life, as well as not being able to reset oil life when/if oil is changed. With this issue I can not even see if check engine light is on or if receiving important safety message from vehicle. Also cannot see if vehicle is in 2H 4H N or 4L via dash. As well, but NOT limited to, I also cannot even access vehicles current mileage, and cannot even see battery voltage. My vehicle also is in desperate need of new tires, but because of this issue I cannot even replace them properly as I need cluster screen to make sure the accurate, proper and PRECISE tire size is imputed to vehicle to not affect vehicles performance and most importantly health. It’s ridiculous that their is currently a recall for such exact part, but only certain gladiators are supposedly “affected”. Yet, here I am, with a 2020 Rubicon Jeep Gladiator that has the EXACT issue and am being told my vehicle is not part of such recall.

It has not been inspected by any other entity other than the Opelika Jeep Dealership in Alabama.

The instrument panel cluster (IPC) display has started flickering on and off, progressively getting worse until it goes dark. The problem is intermittent and seems to be happening more frequently over time. This issue is distracting when driving; the display shows critical vehicle information.

PE25014 · Instrument Panel Cluster (ipc) Failure
Opened Oct 23, 2025 · No close date supplied
Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Electrical System: Instrument Cluster/panel
The Office of Defects Investigations (ODI) is opening a Preliminary Evaluation on 2020 Model Year Jeep Gladiators and Wranglers involving a malfunctioning Instrument Panel Clusters (IPC) resulting in the loss of important vehicle metrics and other status information. ODI has received 89 Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQs) alleging a complete or partial loss of the IPC display while driving. The subject vehicles' IPC display includes the speedometer, fuel gauge, engine temperature, turn signal indicators, warning light, and other gauges that are normally illuminated while the vehicle is in operation. Loss of the fuel gauge while driving may lead to an inability to determine the fuel level and result in a loss of motive power, and the loss of other safety-related information may impede a driver’s ability to take action to prevent a safety risk. Furthermore, an IPC that is suddenly not visible to the driver may divert the driver’s attention from the driving task, potentially causing a vehicle crash. ODI is opening this Preliminary Evaluation to evaluate the scope, severity and frequency of the alleged IPC malfunctions and to assess potential safety-related consequences.
