2018 Dodge Challenger UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I purchased the vehicle which had minor passenger door damage under $500. There were false reports on Copart and Autobidmaster about the vehicle. They lied and said the vehicle was 91.2 percent damaged. The businesses are false. They admitted insanity as their fraudulent motivation. The title should be clean title and the door has been completely repaired. The title to the vehicle should be in my name. Car is ready to be registered. The reports from State Farm Insurance, Copart and Autobidmaster were what they said were false attempts to keep me from registering my vehicle I purchased. This has been ongoing since February 2025 and they are the guilty party.

The infotainment system is delaminating causing the system to start to dial random numbers with the ability for it to call 911 and hit the SOS button. This is a known issue with the Uconnect 8.4" system. It's an ongoing issue that they refuse to recall. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The infotainment controlls/stereo malfunctions constantly- it has turned the stereo on/off disconnected navigation, turned on or off heat/air conditioning as well as tried to activate sos dial 911- causes a constant distraction to attempt to correct the issue-

The adhesive that binds the digitizer to the LCD display will melt and causes thr infotainment system to press buttons by itself at random whenever it is on. Mine has tried to contact emergency services (911) while I'm driving. It is incredibly distracting while I'm driving. A known issue with 8.4 inch Uconnect screens made in 2017 through 2021.

The Uconnect Infosystem 8.4 display with navigation system has become defective. Because of this defect the system takes control of the infosystem switching between screens and options and as it gets worse it could possibly get into the power modes and other engine controls by itself without the driver knowing along with taking control of heating, cooling, lights and other safety features on the car itself without the driver knowing. Besides being annoying this is a huge safety concern that they are well aware of as there is extensive back ordering of replacement systems. In the dealership I go to they have 24 replacement units on back order. At roughly $1,800 per unit the company won't take responsibility for this defect.

The touchscreen is forming air bubbles on the top corners. I've seen videos of touchscreens that have done this and people report it selects different options on its own while driving.

Uconnect delaminated Screen

Uconnect screen is delaminating. It’s causing safety hazards due to driver distraction because of the radio volume randomly going full blast ( scaring me half to death) , heat turns itself up all the way full blast ( that’s very dangerous especially when you have little kids in the car), it will switch to the back up cam while driving ( scaring the crap out me me at times) randomly placing calls when Bluetooth is active, the list can go on. It will literally look like someone is touching the screen pressing on stuff, although no one is touching it. It’s almost caused me to get in several accidents from being distracted which this. I contacted Uconnect when this first started to happen and the said I was out of my 36,000 mile warranty ( I had 38,000 miles) and the couldn’t help me. It’s only getting worse

* Component: UConnect 4C 8.4" Screen is delaminating. Reaching out to others in the region, this is a common occurrence, possibly brought on by excessive heat/humidity. * Safety: Not directly related to safety. * Problem has been confirmed by dealer as being a part that would need to be replaced to fix. * Problem has not been inspected by any party other than manufacturer's dealer. * There was no warning/indication of the issue, it just started occurring. Issue started in July 2021, leading to an issue potentially caused by excessive heat.

The touchscreen failed and started to delaminates. It has phantom touches and presses buttons randomly. It's very distracting while driving as it turns different controls on and off such as the climate (AC on and off, high heat then low cold), heated seats on and off, steering wheel heat on and off, also randomly calls when Bluetooth is connected. when the screen starts doing phantom touches it is very distracting to the driver. Also, as the glue melts, it leaks onto the wiring of all the components under the screen including the AC, all the parking sensor and traction control off controls. Car is out of warranty

THIS PERTAINS TO THE VEHICLES RADIO WERE THIS IS COMMON IN THE 8.4 TOUCH SCREEN WERE IT DEVELOPS BUBBLES IN THE SCREEN AND THE RADIO WILL INADVERTENTLY SELECT RANDOM TOUCH SCREEN SELECTIONS CAUSEING UNPREDICTABLE BEHAVIOR. THIS IS A DRIVER DISTRACTION AND SAFETY HAZARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ROLLAWAY AFTER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED. THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION EXPERIENCED HARD SHIFTS BETWEEN GEARS. STARR MOTORS, INC. (2584 PRUDEN BLVD, SUFFOLK, VA 23434, (757)539-0214) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,559.

WE TOWED OUR VEHICLE OFF AT OURSMAN DODGE IN MD LAST THURSDAY AS APPEARS THERE WAS A LOUD CLANKING SOUND AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THE SWAY BAR HAD BROKEN, BUT THERE WAS NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF A COLLISION. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ROUGHLY 5 MONTHS AGO AND TO OUR KNOWLEDGE, WE NEVER HAD A COLLISION IN THE VEHICLE. THE PART IS UNDER WARRANTY AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE REPAIRED. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO PAY IT UNDER THE WARRANTY AS THEY COULDN'T DETERMINE HOW THE PART BROKE. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 18,000 MILES AND AGAIN, PURCHASED OVER THE PAST 5 MONTHS. THEY SAID TO CALL THE WARRANTY COMPANY TO SEE IF THEY WOULD SEND A 3RD PARTY VENDOR. I CALLED THEM AND THE PERSON IN THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THEY DID SPEAK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND STATED MAYBE THE PRIOR OWNER WAS IN A COLLISION BUT THERE WAS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE AND THEY REALLY COULDN'T TELL HOW THE SWAY BAR BROKE. HE SAID HE WOULD SEND AN INSPECTOR OUT AND SOMETIMES ITS UNFORTUNATE THAT PEOPLE WHO HAD THE CAR PRIOR DON'T REPORT THINGS. HE SAID HE WOULD GET OUT THERE WITHIN A DAY AND LET US KNOW HOW DODGE WOULD LIKE TO PROCEED. HE GAVE US A CASE NUMBER. WE CALLED IN TODAY TO FIND OUT WHAT THE STATUS IS OF THE INSPECTOR AS THE VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP. SOMEONE STATED THERE WERE NO NOTES OF AN INSPECTOR AND STATED THE DEALERSHIP DENIED THE WARRANT? NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON, THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING, WE ARE WAITING ON THE FIRST CUSTOMER SERVICE REP TO CALL US BACK TO FIND OUT IF AN INSPECTION WAS INDEED SET UP AS THAT WAS WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. AGAIN, THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO SHOW A COLLISION, WE DON'T KNOW HOW IT BROKE AND THE PART IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WE WORK HARD TO PAY OUR BILLS AND PAY OUR CAR PAYMENTS. TAKE CARE OF THE PART. IF YOU CAN'T TELL ME HOW IT BROKE, THEN YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF IT UNDER THE WARRANTY.

WEATHER ALERTS KEEP POPPING UP ON MY RADIO SCREEN, REQUIRING ME TO READ THEM AND TAP ON THE OK BUTTON TO MAKE THEM GO AWAY. THEY ARE ACCOMPANIED WITH NOISE/SOUND TO GET MY ATTENTION. THERE IS NO OPTION TO DISABLE THESE ALERTS AND IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNING, ON MY LUNCH BREAK, OR ON MY RIDE HOME. THEY WILL APPEAR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, WHICH IN MY OPINION IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THERE IS NO WAY TO GET THEM TO GO AWAY UNLESS I TAKE MY EYES OF THE ROAD AND READ AND TAP ON THE MESSAGE. I CONTACTED UCONNECT AND THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT XM TO DISABLE THAT SERVICE. I CONTACTED XM AND THEY WOULD NOT DISABLE THAT SERVICE OR BE OF ANY HELP. I WOULD REALLY LIKE A WAY TO GET THESE MESSAGES TO GO AWAY. IDEALLY, AN OPTION IN THE RADIO TO TURN THEM OFF. THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY/WEEK, DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER. THIS LAST HAPPENED A FEW DAYS AGO.
