the cars information screen is delaminating and it is causing a safety issue
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.
Screen delaminates causing buttons to be pushed in their own. Class action lawsuits have been opened however they are not in my state.
Delamination of the touchscreen radio/navigation/ heating and cooling system resulting in unwanted button actions and distractions during driving.
delamination on the touchscreen (uconnect) Making random phone calls, navigation popping up, and other very distracting sounds and other to driver.
Vehicle radio is delaminating. Screen continually beeps and changes temp, radio while driving. Creates a safety concern on the road.
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.
UCONNECT RADIO DELAMINATION. UNABLE TO CONTROL MANY VEHICLE FEATURES AS RADIO JUMPS AROUND. COULD NOT GET CLIMATE CONTROL TO DIRECT HEATED AIR DURING THIS TEXAS WINTER STORM. RADIO CONTROLS ALL SETTING AND RADIO WILL JUMP AROUND CHANGING SETTING ON IT'S OWN.
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.
BLANK SCREEN, VOICE SCRAMBLED WITH INCOMING AND OUT GOING CALLS AND I HAVE TO PRESS THE HOLD BUTTON AND IMMEDIATELY PRESS OFF TO RECOVER CONVERSATIONS. RADIO SCREEN LOOKS AS IF THERE IS SCREEN PEELING FROM INSIDE THE SCREEN. MOST OF SCREEN IS CLEAR AND LOOKS AS IT SHOULD BUT ABOUT AN INCH FROM THE TOP IS A DIFFERENT COLOR. THE SCREEN IS CONSTANTLY FLIPPING FROM 1 SCREEN TO ANOTHER.
JUMPED A VEHICLE AT AROUND 110000 MILES ECM MODULE DRAINING BATTERY ACCORDING TO DEALER CODE P1DF3. KNOWN PROBLEM AMONG MULTIPLE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP PRODUCTS WHEN I DID A QUICK WEB SEARCH. ECM FAULTY REQUIRES FULL DISCHARGE WITH BATTERY CABLES REMOVED. DID NOT WORK FOR ME HAD TO GO TO DEALERSHIP TO GET THEM TO FLASH AND RESET IF I DID NOT HAVE A WARRANTY THEY WOULD HAVE CHARGED ME.
THE BACK UP CAMERA DOES NOT FUNCTION. THE CAR HAS 50,000 MILES AND LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD. NO DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE UNIT, IT JUST BEGAN NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. UNABLE TO VIEW ANYTHING FROM THE CAMERA VIEW WHEN ENGAGED.
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.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHRYSLER 300. ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS JUMPSTARTED AND DRIVEN TO JIM REIHL'S FRIENDLY CHRYSLER JEEP (LOCATED AT 32899 VAN DYKE AVE, WARREN, MI 48093, (888) 834-3916) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.
