The radio/head unit is pressing buttons all by itself. Will call 911, change settings, delete saved information, set random naviGation to the gps, changes a/c and heat settings, turns on different accessories without ever touching the screen. This is very dangerous.
The vehicles uConnect system screen delaminated on its own and did not impose a safety issue at first but now it is pushing buttons and dialing SOS/911 calls while driving which serves as a distraction because I quickly have to stop it from proceeding with the SOS calls mid driving. I have contacted Dodge who, because I am out of warranty, won’t fix it. This is a very common issue and I found this out when I did a simple Google search. Many people have experienced this same issue. This should have been a recall.
RADIO SCREEN CONTAINS A BIG BUBBLE THAT DISABLES TOUCH AND ACCESS TO FEATURES SUCH AS MAPS, PHONES SYSTEM AND ENGINE CONTROL. THIS CAUSES THE RADIO TO CRASH AND MAKE EXTREME LOUD SOUNDS THAT YOU'RE UNABLE TO CONTROL UNLESS YOU POWER OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN TURNING THE ENGINE BACK ON THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO EXIST. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING OR WHILE STARTING UP THE VEHICULE. MY RADIO HAVE MADE 2 UNWANTED CALLS TO 911 DUE TO THE SCREEN OF THE RADIO CHANGING STATIONS AND SELECTING OPTIONS ON IT'S OWN. DODGE KNOWS THIS ISSUE EXIST ON MULTIPLE YEARS AND MODELS OF THE DODGE CHARGER LINE UP AND IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS.
I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY SCREEN. IT'S AFFECTING THE USE OF MY RADIO, HEAT, DEFROST (WHICH I NEED FOR VISIBILITY). THE DOOR PANELING IS ALSO PULLING AWAY FROM THE DOOR FRAMES.
