I am currently experiencing electrical issues with my radio and backup camera. My radio will only play one radio station and nothing else. I cannot use bluetooth or apple carplay from my phone to my radio. The radio volume does not work as well, the backup camara sometime stays on a black screen causing vision impairment issues. The radio sometimes plays really loud noises causing me to get very distracted. If someone can please contact me regarding these issues. I do not feel safe driving my car due to these electrical issues as they're causing serious distractions while I drive.

The uconnect 8.4 radio navigation can't find a satellite to operate properly. Also the screen is delaminating and making it so selected buttons don't work. Since this is an information and entertainment system that controls everything, including radio, navigation, and hand-free phoning, temperature of the seating, it causes a huge distraction while driving. And the gps not working causes location problems. I believe this also is how the company can find the vehicle if lost. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership and they can do an update but also state that the this could cause the entire system might not work at all afterwards. Not guarantee that this won't cause more harm than good. As many of these systems that have this problem, there should be a recall to fix this.

The center console control that has your heat ,radio ,seat heat control,car temperature control as well as phone and navigation system started acting nuts.Dash started running navigation system to random destinations with distance and time then it would switch to phone and start calling random phone numbers in my contact list.tried to call 911 and could not connect and told me to try calling from my cell phone.like another report i read about this separation of glass on this display may very well be the cause but don’t know for sure. This is the first time I had this problem and with today’s computers on these new cars I worry if it will start taking over control of car functions and drivability issues.I have been a mechanic for more than 40 years and never seen anything like this.Hope someone will look into this problem before someone gets hurt.

THE SCREEN ON THE VEHICLE IS SEPARATING FROM THE BACK SIDE OF THE SCREEN CREATING A STREAKING EFFECT THAT WILL AUTOMATICALLY PUSH BUTTONS WHILE DRIVING OR TURN THE RADIO ON AND OFF. THIS IS THE MAIN SYSTEM FOR THE CAR CONTROLS AND CAN CAUSE DRIVER SAFETY ISSUES.

The Uconnect screen has delamination in it that is causing ghost punches on the touch screen. I have ad this screen replaced back in 2018 for the same issue and its now doing the same thing. It is very distracting when it starts to call people due to the ghost touches or its messing with the radio or general setting for the car.

WHEN PUTTING MY CAR IN REVERSE, THE SCREEN THAT SHOWS MY BACKUP CAMERA WENT OUT, CAME BACK ON, FLICKERED AND FLASHED. I BUMPED INTO A SMALL TREE NEAR MY DRIVEWAY. THIS IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. I CANNOT TURN MY SCREEN OFF IF I AM IN REVERSE SO THE SCREEN CONTINUES TO FLASH, TURN BRIGHT BLUE AND MAKES IT VERY UNSAFE AND DIFFICULT TO EVEN SEE USING MY SIDE MIRRORS. VERY SELDOM DOES THE CAMERA/SCREEN WORK CORRECTLY.
