Center touchscreen delamination. This has caused the screen to function without intention by randomly changing settings which causes undesired use of the screen, distracted driving and an unsafe environment due to glue adhesive separation within the screen.

My screen is delaminating and posing a risk for backing up and using the rear view camera. I am unable to use navigation which causes me to make wrong turns and struggle to get where I’m going as I have to hold my phone for navigation. This is very stressful as the screen touches things by itself. It makes calls during my drive so I struggle to end them before going through.

The screen in my 2018 charger is melting. At first it just started to delaminate, a very common issue I wasn’t worried about. But now the screen becomes very hot to the touch, to the point where you wouldn’t want to keep your hand on it very long. Just recently and why I’m making this report is because there are now what appear to be visible drips inside the screen that look as though something is now actually melting. I believe this is a safety concern because this seems like a fire hazard if this continues to heat up and melt.

Hello, I am not sure if this is the correct place to report the issues that are plaguing 2014 and up Dodge Charger and challenger owners. The door panels and center counsel on our cars are coming apart it is a manufacturing defect that exposes the electronic systems on our doors including the locking mechanisms and window regulators to moisture and heat. This is the second time this has occurred the first time my car was under warranty now it is not and Dodge does not want to repair the panels they said because there is not a recall on it they do not have to even though it is a widespread issue. Thank you for your time. Thank you,

Interior door panel warping and coming undone on passenger side door close to window

What started as a bubble on the left side of my touch screen has expanded to the entire top portion of the touch screen. Because of this, random buttons are selected on the radio temperature controls and phone pairing screen. It is a safety issue because this happens while the car is in motion. It causes a huge distraction unless the entire system is turned off. My understanding is that this is a very common problem with this model of Dodge Charger. Another common problem, is the door panels are warping and separating from the frame of the door.

UConnect screen is delaminated and acts like it is being pressed and this causes the back up camera to flicker in/out while backing up

Type: Vehicle, Vehicle: 2018 DODGE CHARGER, Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Incident: Jul 2021
Jul 2021

2018 Dodge Charger R/T uConnect system has a well-documented history of delaminating causing a series of hazardous conditions. The screen will jump from menu item to menu item, from one control to another, will disconnect phone calls, will prevent phone calls from being made, will exit out of navigation screens while driving, will distract drivers with constant beeping at loud volumes, will cause backup camera systems to cease functioning, will prevent users being able to access security features, and will generally have a negative impact on the mental state of drivers while driving down the road. These are dangerous conditions and the product should be recalled regardless of warranty status. NHTSA is charged with protecting the human lives while driving down the road and should act by instituting a recall.

On 07/30/2019, your staff made an error on the mileage. It was reported 111,000 miles which would mean someone drove over 100,000 miles in a year? Which I'm not real sure if that is even possible... The mileage should of been reported as 11,100. The car currently has 27,073 miles. Please assist me on getting this corrected. Thank you.

UCONNECT NAVIGATION INACCURATELY SHOWS LOCATION. RANDOMLY, WITHOUT EXPLANATION OR ACTION THE GPS LOCATION WILL BE OFF SET AND NEVER RETURN CORRECTLY. SYSTEM WILL ALSO FREEZE WHILE DRIVING OR WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND DOOR IS OPENED. THIS AFFECTS ALL UCONNECT FEATURES (PHONE, BACK UP CAM, RADIO).THE INCIDENTS OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BOTH STATIONERY AND IN MOTION. ACCORDING TO UCONNECT REPRESENTATIVES, THE ONLY SURE WAY TO FIX THE ISSUE IS TO TOTALLY REPLACE THE RADIO. SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO ASSIST IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS TO ALERT SAFETY PERSONNEL; ASSIST WITH ROAD INFORMATION FOR SAFE DRIVING AND ARRIVAL, AND PROVIDE ACCURATE STORM INFORMATION, BUT CANNOT AS IT IS INACCURATE WITHOUT A FIX BESIDES REPLACEMENT. THE DEALERSHIPS BLAME UCONNECT AND REFUSE TO PERFORM WORK. HOWEVER, UCONNECT REFERS CUSTOMERS TO THE DEALERSHIPS AS THEY CANNOT FIX ANYTHING.

THE RADIO ON MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN RANDOMLY PUSHING BUTTONS ON ITS OWN, TURNING ON THE HEATED SEATS CALLING PEOPLE AND KEEPS CHANGING ROUTES WHILE I'M USING THE GPS PART. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND I SEE THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME UCONNECT 8.4. I HAD THIS CAR FOR OVER A YEAR NOW AND THE COST OF THE RADIOS TO GET IT REPLACED THE CHEAPEST I SEEN WAS A LITTLE UNDER $500, A BIT PRICEY FOR A RADIO IN A 2018 TO GO OUT IN 2020. THE DEALERSHIP WAS TRYING TO CHARGE ME $200 TO TELL ME A OBVIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE THE SCREEN IS LIKE PEELING ON THE INSIDE SO IT LOOKS LIKE IT GOT AIR BUBBLING GOING ON.

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TO OUR HOUSE. THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF US, NOR WAS ANY ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN THE OPPOSITE LANES. THERE WERE NO PEOPLE AROUND ON THE SIDEWALKS. WE WERE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN TOWARDS OUR HOUSE, OUR SUNROOF EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THERE WAS NO IMPACT OF ANY KIND. I WASN'T SURE WHAT HAPPENED EXACTLY, BUT WE PULLED OVER TO CHECK WHAT MIGHT HAVE HIT US. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT WOULD INDICATE AN IMPACT OF ANY KIND, YET THE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED AND BOWED UPWARDS INSTEAD OF DOWN TOWARDS THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHICH WOULD BE MORE INDICATIVE OF SOME KIND OF IMPACT TO THE SUNROOF. IT ALMOST LOOKED LIKE A BLOW OUT FROM INSIDE OUT LIKE PRESSURE HAD CAUSED IT. WE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED (THIS CAR IS BRAND NEW, IT WAS BOUGHT ON 5/13/18), THEY ARE TELLING US IT HAD TO BE AN IMPACT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE DISINGENUOUS. I HAVE NO REASON TO LIE ABOUT THIS INCIDENT. I WAS THE PASSENGER IN THE CAR AND I WAS PAYING ATTENTION WHEN IT HAPPENED. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY RISK FOR DRIVERS. IF WE HAD NOT HAD THE SLIDER BELOW THE SUNROOF CLOSED, BROKEN GLASS WOULD HAVE RAINED DOWN INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND POTENTIALLY DISTRACTED MY WIFE AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. JUST THE SOUND OF THE SUNROOF POPPING WAS EXTREMELY LOUD AND CAUSED A LOT OF IMMEDIATE CONFUSION. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR STORIES ONLINE ABOUT EXPLODING SUNROOFS, AND I BELIEVE IT TO BE A LEGITIMATE SAFETY CONCERN.

2018 DODGE CHARGER WITH 8.4 U-CONNECT RADIO SYSTEM WITH SIRIUS RADIO OPTION. SIRIUS HAS WEATHER/TRAFFIC UPDATES WHICH CONTINUALLY POP UP ON SCREEN. I'VE DOCUMENTED POP-UPS NUMEROUS TIMES ON SHORT TRIPS. I'VE CREATED A LOG SHOWING AS MANY AS THREE IN A 20 MINUTE DRIVE.ADDITIONALLY, THE WARNING REPORTS ARE FOR AREAS OUTSIDE MY ZIP CODE (THEY ARE FOR ANOTHER STATE). A DRIVER HAVE TO TAKE THEIR EYES OFF THE ROADWAY AND LOOK AT THE RADIO DISPLAY TO CANCEL THE ALERT. SIRIUS AND DODGE ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO PATCH TO CURE THE ISSUE OR CANCEL AND TURN OFF THE ALERTS. I JUST SPOKE TO A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT SIRIUS AND THEY WARE AWARE OF MANY COMPLAINTS. DODGE HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS SITUATION. THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT LISTED ON DODGE FORUMS. I AM A TRAFFIC SCHOOL AND DUI INSTRUCTOR FOR THE CITY OF LAS VEGAS. I CAN TELL YOU THIS IS A SERIOUS DISTRACTION THAT CAN CAUSE TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS BY DRIVERS DIVERTING THEIR ATTENTION FROM DRIVING TO CANCELLING THE POP UP NOTICES.
