The contact owns a 2018 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that the U-connect 8.4 screen was delaminating with a ghosting affect to the infotainment system and all aspect of the vehicle controls. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer due the repair cost. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to a dealer. The contact mentioned that the manufacturer had provided a low-key reset procedure however, the failure recurred. The failure mileage was approximately 43,000.
The U connect touch screen is defective. This is a problem where the touch screen buttons activate on their own randomly, constantly across all screen control systems. This defect is activating multiple car systems including seat heaters, radio, bluetooth, environmental controls, odometer units, and 911 calling, the car has become unsafe due to activation of multiple systems while driving. The problem is very prevalent among Dodge Chrysler vehicles. I contacted Dodge customer service and they will not replace it for free. I want me to come out the pocket and pay for the full service and they refused to recall this uconnect control system.
The vehicle screen will freeze and be stuck. This happens when I start the car up also as I'm driving. Also I believe whatever happening it affecting my headlights as well and my back up camera goes out as well
The U-connect touch screen is defective. This a "ghosting" problem where the touch screen buttons activate on their own, randomly, constantly across all screen control systems.

The uconnect radio is delaminating and there causing to jump from station or it will jump to resetting the clock causing me to look away from the road which is a distraction and I also believe that it controls more thrn just the radio. I called Chrysler customer care and was told it is my expense. But when I took it to a Chrysler dealership U was told by the tech on duty it was S known problem.

The touch screen uconnect stereo is delaminating which makes the display hard to see which also allows humidity to enter the gap and makes the stereo flip between settings (radio, nav, seat heating controls, climate control) and proceeds to randomly click the touchscreen interface buttons. This causes distractions and has resulted in a frozen touch screen while driving (which renders the climate controls dead as well as backup camera, navigation and the stereo). After taking this to the dealer I was told that I was past my warranty which means this is an out of pocket fix.
Problem 1) I have 2018 Charger. Couple of thing have happen where the rear passenger tail light come on and goes off randomly. I have change the fuses in the fuse box. Have purchase a additional tail light and doesn't not function properly. It?S a serious electrical issue or improper grounding somewhere in the car harness or wiring.

Again speed sensors have been replace. Problem 3 ) uconnect radio something it will freezes up and wont play any sound, wont connect to the phone. It?S blank out and I have go to the back fuse box in the trunk and hard reset it by pulling the fuse.
The video display has a bubble forming within the screen and is increasing in size. The warping does not go away when the video display is turned on. It is present in all driving conditions (I.e. driving, parked, and reverse.).
My car often times won't register the fob. Making it difficult to unlock or start my car. I have both factory fobs with new batteries, sometimes the car registers them and sometimes it doesn't. this has been happening for months.

The back camera lags after the car sits for a few hours. It has major lags and disruptions. Took it to the dealership, they said that Dodge is aware of the issue but hasn't done anything about it yet
We have 12 different Dodge Chargers that are stalling out while the officer is driving. Vehicle would periodically (3 times a week, about 3-4 times a day) hesitates when it's in the process of switching gears. When quickly accelerating and braking running (code 3) on 4 occasions to date while cruising regularly (patrol speed) vehicle.

This problem has occurred 3 times in less than a month. Vehicle is parked. One head light out, depending which time this has happened. Vehicle will not turn over but all electrical comes on and stays on. Dash board messages include: "service transmission continue in D. do not shift or turn engine off", 'until you reach a desired location you may not be able to shift again until serviced','service stabilitrack' or something along those lines, and "key fob not found" even though key fob is in car. Shifter continuously blinks and a constant dinging as if a key was left in an ignition. You cannot move shifter out of park. All electrical components stay on and will not shut off. Car has acted like it doesn't want to start but ends up turning over slowly, a few times before these problems started. This issue started at around 5250 miles (but restarted after 15 mins), then again two days later at 5300 miles (got it to restart after at least 30 mins) took into dealership and that's when Dodge replaced the shifter after having the car for a week. Again the issue has occurred at 5857 miles. Moved car out of garage, noticed one head light out, and I knew I had to try and restart it from previous issues. Sure enough, it would not turn over but all electrical came on and stayed on. Had to have the vehicle towed back to dealership with malfunctioning electrical still on. Battery had died by the time the dealership service team looked at it.
When at a stop when going to accelerate to cross an intersection the car goes but suddenly feels as if it looses power really quick and slows down as if my foot is not on the gas and then there's a hard kick (or jerk) that the car does and it revs up as if it didn't slow down on its own and it goes. This has happened when trying to accelerate from a complete stop and while trying to gain speed on the highway.
Dodge Chrysler (and other auto manufacturers) have soybased wiring installed in the newer cars. This is a safety issue as the soybean based covering on the wires is also a rodent attractant meaning rodents are eating the wiring that connects the ABS brake system, fuel pressure system and other sensitive systems. Once the rodents chew completely through the wires the gas will shut off or the brakes will fail thus this will definitely cause an accident of some sort. Can we, the consumers live with this" no it costs us more money in the long run to repair the wiring issue that was caused by the auto manufacturer!!!! what recourse does the consumer have??"
This is the second 2018 Charger 392 ive had. The issue is the uconnect system will attempt to connect to my phone when the car has been fully turned off. If it connects succesfully the radio will start up by itself and drain my cars battery. On my original 2018 Charger it killed the battery completely. On this new one I keep correcting the issue by disconnecting my phone going back to the car and cycling the power to return it off. This happens frequently.
Uconnect unit failure on new vehicle 16 days after purchasing. Uconnect sporadic rebooting of center console including climate, radio, backup camera, performance gauges, and remote vehicle services. Happens when vehicle is stationary or in motion.
