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.

They preyed on me, they overcharged me for the car in the 1st place, they lied to me and tried to cleverly extort me while victimizing me with their Predatory Lending. And in the midst of that, they broke several laws. Therefore, after gathering all of the evidence that I have... I really feel they have taken advantage of me. I work hard for my money ( being away from my family, driving from state to state ) to provide/pay for nice things for my family like this Big Beautiful Muscle car. Only to be victimized by the very company I purchased it from. Now... Any type of financing "ANYTHING" stresses me out. I worry will I be victimized again, from companies like Coast 2 Coast" And they have several locations just in the Houston area. Therefore, I'm wondering how many people have they done this to? Or how many people they might continue to do this to? This has me contemplating, should this be taken to the press / social media platforms and/or to congress/the police? To have the laws enforced/enhanced for companies like Coast 2 Coast who take advantage of their customers/consumers? Furthermore, I'm thinking about launching this publicly to see if there are other people that they have done this to" If so, this could be a MULTIMILLION DOLLAR CLASS A LAWSUIT that would include all of their locations and this could possibly be the lesson they need to learn. In conclusion, I know that most companies that victimize people and break the law, think they can resolve these issues by returning all of the finances that the victim(s) paid. However, I see that to be extremely disrespectful and very unethical and completely wrong because it gives them a pass. Due to that, the resolution has no repercussions for the lending predators. And since they tried to gain a monetary advantage, they should experience a monetary disadvantage of "AT LEAST" twice as much! Therefore, I would, ve paid close to $50,000 in total. So (rounding off) to $50,000 X 2 (Twice) = $100,000 is what I want!!

The touch screen display has suffered from delamination, which has caused serious safety issues for me and my passengers. The delamination has caused the display to become blurry and difficult to read, making it difficult for me to access important features such as navigation and hands-free calling while driving. This has been a significant distraction and has put myself and others at risk on the road. Here is the list of concerns 1. Caused navigation to improperly work 2. Causes temperature to increase without user input. 3. Makes calls without user input 4. Changes vehicle features such as engine and steering setting casting safety issues. 5. Causes Bluetooth and radio issues distracting me while driving 6. Causes system to reboot while driving allowing for some features to not be accessible.

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.

All too often while driving....... distracting, useless weather alerts pop up on my uconnect (radio)screen. I must tap "ok" to get rid of them. I called Dodge, uconnect, and sirrius. Nothing has been successful at stopping these alerts. There is no way to disable them.

In November and December of 2017 and again in January 2018 and series of power-train gear changing while driving occurred while on interstate I-20 and 285 and 85 and generally around town which caused to have to pull over and call a tow truck or park until the issue would stop. The vehicles was taken to don jackson and landmark and liithia springs Chrysler Jeep and no one to this point has repaired it. This continues to cause me to have to pull over on the side of the road becomes the car begins to change gears with no reason at all at high speeds. On 4-27-19 don jackson Chrysler performed a recall and work on the computer and since then my car cruise control comes on and goes off when ever wnats to as well the radio and dash display flickers. The cruise control is alarming because I am driving at low speeds on the roads and car suddenly speeds up with out my depressing the or increasing the gas pedal. I took the vehicle back to the dealer and they told me I could not see the technician until May 10, 2019. This matter all together points to a life safety issue and I would ask and hope your organization could send a engineer and access this vehicle. The deals have said to me while the car the was new that they would not provide a loaner of go to any expense to solve the issues. Please advise

Many blind spots on both sides of vehicle.. problem with trunk just started but I've only had the vehicle for about 6 months. Also 6 days after I bought the car had to be taken back to the dealer because of transfer case leaking oil. Transfer case replaced

  • 3,200 miles
Radio and navigation screen constantly taken over by pop-up messages about weather that cannot be removed without physically touching the screen while driving, thus causing distraction to the driver. There is no option to disable these, and they pop-up as frequently as every 2-3 minutes, despite closing them. Have called dealership, sirius/xm and Dodge multiple times to no avail. Concerned that distracted driving as a result of unwanted messages popping up in large format on radio screen could result in an accident.
