Car purchased April 3, 2018, initial problems began on a few days later, reported via telephone. Texted sales person on 4/8/18, odometer started flashing and entertainment screen went black. No response. Texted again on 4/26/18, iphone unsyncs during the conversation and sounds as though the caller is underwater. Screen goes black when it rains. Took the car in and they reset the system. 4/30/18 parking brake is a system set through the entertainment system. Unchecked, even though it was set on auto engaged. It unchecked in the setting automatically and began rolling into traffic in the parking lot. Took the car back to the dealer.

Report on 5/21/18 the startup sequence on the entertainment system going haywire. Odometer flashing and language changes on this system. In addition, miles changes to kilometers and Fahrenheit changes to celsius. The backup camera goes out. May 22, 2018 -- pull up in my driveway and my car is attached to bluettoh setting on my iphone. I receive an alert of a parking location update. Even though my car is parked in my driveway, I receive an alert that the car is parked 8.3 miles away, at the location that I just left. May 31, 2018 -- music is playing through the entertainment system and screen is black. Calls still disengaging are sounding as though people are underwater. BCM module has been ordered several times already. None have worked. Been in contact with the service department almost daily. In rental since around July 2, 2018, until present. The part on back order. Chrysler star report missing from the system, and they refuse payment or downpayment assistance to switch me out of a vehicle I no longer feel safe in.
