The LCD of the uconnect control panel has progressively continued to delaminated since about 12-18 months after purchasing. Recently it has become a driving hazard. It presses the screen at random, which has changed the engine performance mode while driving and engaged the manual transmission option while driving. It has made over 40+ phone calls in the past month and has dialed emergency sos services least once. I am now forced to repair the screen myself because no recall has been issued for defective LCD screens.

The touch screen on the 2017 dodge challenger radio is separating, which controls all systems on the car!! System is changing settings on its own. This is very dangerous.

The driver side smart window rolls up and down about a half inch when the vehicle is completely off sometimes causing a dead battery. In addition when driving the window will also Crack open and do the same thing causing loud noise which can easily distract the driver while the vehicle is being operated.

Two radios have gone out within 30K miles. I am getting my 3rd replacement at 31K miles. The screen is frozen and says Dodge. Not able to access climate controls. Going to try upgrading to the better factory radio, it only costs 1648 for parts and install!!! this is a consistent problem per the internet. Please recall this issue!!!

Uconnect 8.4in screen started to become blurry, like the screen was peeling away or delaminating causing malfunction in touch controls, which includes controlling vehicle performance and settings. Dealer said screen was cracked, not of my own doing. They stated that was not covered under warranty, though vehicle was certified pre-owned with additional warranty purchased. Vehicle owned for 7mths and driven 6000 miles.

I was driving down the highway when my vehicle completely cut off on me forcing me to pull over the car lost power.very very unsafe. I pull over and was able to press the push start and the vehicle started again about 15 minutes late it cut completely off again losing all power I end up getting the vehicle towed. While the vehicle was being tow the power came back on then lost all power again. I thought it was my battery so I purchase a new battery however that was not the case traveling back how that same day it cut off twice on the highway scaring the you know what out of me. I managed to make home. The next morning I went to start the car and the power completely dead so I tried playing with the battery and power cut on so I cranked up the vehicle and proceeded to drive to work the power cut out again right in the middle of the road in front of my apartment complex. So I started the vehicle again and parked it the vehicle had to be towed to the dealership.
