— A Fiat Chrysler (FCA) Uconnect class action lawsuit alleges several models are equipped with defective infotainment systems.
The Uconnect and Uconnect 5 infotainment system operates the backup camera image display, audio and radio system controls, cell phone connectivity, weather information and the navigation system.
The Uconnect infotainment system is how a driver accesses the entertainment, safety, communication and navigation systems.
The FCA Uconnect class action lawsuit includes these vehicles.
- 2021-2024 Chrysler Pacifica
- 2022-2024 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500
- 2022-2024 Ram Chassis Cab
- 2022-2024 Ram ProMaster

- 2023-2024 Dodge Hornet
According to the lawsuit, the Uconnect and Uconnect 5 systems are defective and malfunction, causing the systems to fail part of the time and possibly all the time.
The plaintiffs contend a driver is distracted when the Uconnect system suddenly causes audio and video errors, causing a safety hazard to occupants and others on the road.
Chrysler allegedly has not recalled the vehicles or issued any campaigns or technical service bulletins to repair the infotainment systems.
