Unknown it doesn't start and all lights flash on dash
Bought this vehicle Aug 2020 and backup camera worked fine. Shortly after purchase the backup camera started flickering and would either be upside down or black. During my April 2021 oil change I had the dealership look into it and they said it would be costly and labor intensive to check the wiring so I didn't have anything done. To this day it is 99% of the time upside down. Every once in awhile it will revert back to normal but that's maybe twice a year.
P0335 replace still cut off engine
The liftgate wiring harness is malfunctioning, causing my wiper blade in the rear to be working when it’s not turned off and turns off when you try to work it and my reverse lights are not working. Everything that I have looked up points to the liftgate rear wiring harness has been damaged somehow
Rear camera only turns on 30% of the time. The camera is in the rear view mirror and when it doesn’t work it puts a black screen in the rear view mirror putting many lives in danger.
I will be driving the vehicle and it will go completely dark, no electrical function, shuts right off in the middle of traffic. After a period of time, everything will power back up. This happens randomly and is very dangerous. I took the car to the dealer and initially, they said it was the battery. I replaced the battery and just as I got in the car at the dealer, the car went dark again. This time they were able to see that it is still happening and so far they have not been able to find the cause. I've read online about at least 3 other people having the same issue with no solution found to date. Currently the vehicle is at Courtesy Chrysler in Tampa, FL.
The driver side window randomly stops working. The motor and the switches have been tested and are functioning correctly. There is no known cause at this time.
The back up camera started to go in and out suddenly. Then all of sudden I started to get an upside down imade with red and green stripes and with stripe at the top. I saw the journey up to 2018 has a recall for this issue but mine is a 2019 and this just randomly started on 12/08/2022.
