Touch screen delaminating: The vehicle's LCD screen has become delaminated which causes the control of the radio, air conditioning, navigation, and other features controlled by the "radio" portion of the car to become dysfunctional. This has also caused, twice now, the touch screen/I connect system to attempt dialing 911/assist emergency services without me touching the screen. This is scary. The car will randomly beep, change air temperatures, start navigation, cause the loss of hands-free communication. This is a safety hazard as it causes the driver to be distracted in order to attend to the incessant beeping and issues related to AC/heat, navigation or radio (volume, etc.), and attempt to connect with emergency services. This appears from Chrysler Forums to be an issue among a large group of Chrysler 300 Year Model 2018 owners. I am encouraging them to file a concern with your group and to ask for a recall of the car for this reason due to the uconnect system/screen delaminating.

The audio system screen has become delaminated. This causes buttons to be selected at random by the unit. Climate control constantly changes. When in the phone mode, it will hang up current call and call other contacts listed on the attached phone. The radio switches stations and audio functions at random. Cannot use the GPS unit because it will change to previously used addresses.

The screen is bubbling or delaminating on the radio/head unit. It will randomly select or unselect any item on the screen. Sometimes when using the backup camera it is very hard to see. Sometimes it does not disengage from the backup screen, you will have to shut car off and restart when that occurs. This has been going on for about 1 year.

The Large Control Screen appears to have "delaminated". At first it only affected radio controls causing loss of function and random acts. It eventually progressed to fail other functions controlled by this unit including seat and communications functions which caused the unit to intermittently adjust seat and more seriously call emergency numbers randomly. The random adjustments significantly affected the driving safety of this vehicle and impacted local emergency call centers with calls. The dealer confirmed the malfunction and was unable to repair the unit. The failures were intermittent and so there was no warning when changes happened.

My vehicle has a backup camera and also controls different functions of my vehicle the screen will completely blank or when I put into reverse the screen will show a distorted view on the screen or I will get bold colored lines on the screen with distorted views. I took a picture of the screen and took it to a Chrysler dealership while my vehicle was still under warranty the service advisor told me that he had never seen that before and they would have to keep my vehicle and see if it did it when they had it.I told him that I never know when it will do it.

Laminate is melting on uconnect interface for control panel for climate control, navigation, defrost/defog, and radio. It's an anecdotal problem for many Chrysler/Dodge owners when scanning internet forums. Chrysler/Dodge has been unhelpful in rectifying the situation. This defect causes "phantom" screen touches which causes the navigation system to skip around to different destinations while in use causing the potential for an accident as the driver suddenly must change course when listening to verbal prompts. Further, the "phantom" screen touches causes the climate control to randomly shoot up to blast hot air in the driver's face while driving. Also, defrost/defog cannot be set and relied upon because "phantom" screen touches turn them off at random causing a driving hazard.

The contact owns a 2018 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that the door panels on all four doors had started to independently separate from the door frame. She also stated that the center console had also began to separate. In addition, various electrical failures would occur while driving including the backup camera. The contact's boyfriend had taken the vehicle to an unknown dealer and was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and she was given the same information as the dealer. The contact was then referred to the NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
