Uconnect touch screen delaminating on my 2017 Jeep Compass Limited 4X4. Started right after my car was just out of warranty, so when I called no one would help me or fix the issue. This was about 2 years ago, I have been dealing with this issue since 2020, it is now 2023.. Since then the screen has gotten WAY worse, delaminating half the screen. It is very distracting while driving and a safety hazard as it will randomly change settings, change which screen I'm on (if on audio, it will change to climate control etc.), sometimes does not work while I am touching the screen, like if I am trying change my climate control settings. If I am driving and need to change my AC up or heat down and its not working, I am having to take my eyes off the road longer to try and get the screen to work, which is a huge safety hazard. Also, probably not be related to the delamination, but my phone will not connect through USB to my Jeep, therefore I cannot use Android Auto. This is also a safety concern as I have to hold my phone or set it down on my lap and look down constantly to use GPS. I live in NJ and GPS is a MUST when driving anywhere. I have tried many different phones, different cables, and resetting my system, with no luck. With so many things wrong with the Jeeps screens especially 2017 and 2018 models you would think they would put out a recall, specifically for the delamination! This is happening to SO many people with various Jeep models. I have been on the phone with Jeep multiple times, many times with representatives who are short with me, and do not care about the issue. It seems as if they get so many calls about the same issue, that once they hear that you are having problems with your screen delaminating they just dismiss you and want to get you off the phone. The issues I am dealing with, along with so many others is very distracting and a major safety concern when the screen is not working property while driving.

Delamination of Uconnect radio causing multiple electronic malfunctions on vehicle, causing a safety issue. Problem has been reproduced and was confirmed by dealership on November 5th 2021. Issue first started in February of 2020.

MY JEEP COMPASS IS HAVING ISSUES STARTING. I HAVE HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE MECHANIC TWICE IN THE PAST 3 WEEKS BECAUSE IT KEEPS NOT STARTING! I'VE TRIED JUMPING THE BATTERY AND NOTHING. IF IT SITS JUST ONE DAY WITHOUT IT BEING STARTED, IT WILL GO COMPLETELY DEAD AND WON'T TAKE A JUMP. AS OF RIGHT NOW, MY MECHANIC DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S WRONG.

THE RADIO/NAVIGATION SYSTEM SEEMS TO HAVE A MIND OF IT'S OWN. FIRST, THE RADIO SCREEN HAS BEEN SLOWLY SEPARATING FROM THE RADIO, WHICH HASN'T AFFECTED THE USE OF THE TOUCH SCREEN USAGE. IT IS ABOUT HALF WAY SEPARATED. ALL OF A SUDDEN WE FIND THE UNIT CHANGING OUR RADIO STATIONS USING OUR PRESETS AND MANUALLY ENTERING IN DIGITS; IT SCROLLS THROUGH THE AIR CONDITIONING VENT OPTIONS AND STOPS ON ANY ONE OF THEM RANDOMLY; IT HAS SELECTED THE UCONNECT APP TRYING TO LOAD SOME APPLICATION THAT ISN'T LOADED; IT HAS SELECTED TO TURN ON THE HEATED STEERING WHEEL; IT HAS SELECTED TO TURN ON EITHER SEAT'S HEATER AND THEN OFF AGAIN, THEN BOTH, ETC.; IT HAS SELECTED THE NAVIGATION AND ROUTED TO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND STARTED THE NAVIGATION ALL ON IT'S OWN; ON ONE DRIVE, WHILE IN MOTION, THIS SUMMER WHEN 100 DEG OUTSIDE, IT HAS TURNED THE HEATER ALL THE WAY UP AND THEN LOCKED THE SCREEN SO WE COULDN'T CHANGE IT BACK. ON THIS ONE, IT NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT! MY HAS HAD A STROKE BEFORE AND CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT. WHEN IT WOULDN'T LET HER CHANGE IT BACK TO AIR CONDITIONING SHE NEARLY PASSED OUT TRYING TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT WOULDN'T EVEN LET HER USE THE MANUAL KNOBS TO CONTROL THE AIR CONDITIONING. THEY WERE LOCKED. EVEN WHEN TURNING CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON DIDN'T HELP INITIALLY. IT TOOK 3 TIMES UNTIL IT LET HER ADJUST IT. THESE HAPPENINGS ARE RANDOM; SOME HAPPENING MORE THAN OTHERS AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. IT HAPPENS AT ANY POINT, IN MOTION OR SITTING STILL; CITY, HIGHWAY, TURNING, STRAIGHT; IT DOESN'T MATTER TO IT. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST DAILY AND WILL START AND STOP AT RANDOM TIMES. MOST OF THE TIME IT DOESN'T STOP UNTIL YOU CUT THE CAR OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN SO MANY WAYS. I HAVE VIDEOS THAT SHOWS THIS, BUT CAN'T UPLOAD A VIDEO.

I HAD A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY 2017 JEEP COMPASS THAT I AM CURRENTLY LEASING. THE CAR WOULD STOP AND SHUT DOWN ON ITS OWN WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY LIGHTS TURNING ON. IT HAD TO DO WITH THE PARKING BRAKE AS WELL. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE NORTH HAVEN, CT DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED, THEY SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX IT AND HAD TO CONTACT CHRYSLER. CHRYSLER TOLD THEM WHAT TO DO. THE DEALERSHIP DID AS TOLD AND IT RESOLVED THE ISSUE--SOMETHING ABOUT THE BATTERY. WHEN I WAS INFORMED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED, I ASKED WHY THERE WAS NO WARNING OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOING OFF ALERTING ME THAT SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT. THE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID 'WELL ONCE YOU NOTICE THINGS AREN'T WORKING WELL, THEN IT'S PROBABLY A BATTERY ISSUE. BRING IT BACK IN.' HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE? THERE IS NO WARNING THAT MY CAR IS GOING TO JUST STOP AS I AM DRIVING. I JUST HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL OTHER THINGS GO WRONG TO DETERMINE IF IT IS MAYBE A BATTERY ISSUE? THAT IS UNHEARD OF. THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR FOR ALMOST A WEEK, DID NOT GIVE ME A LOANER, BUT SAID I COULD RENT A CAR AT A LOW COST. RENT A CAR? I AM NOT GOING TO PAY MONEY FOR A CAR WHEN MINE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. AND WHEN ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THIS ISSUE, THE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID 'NO, THEY ONLY DO RECALLS WHEN IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.' SO WHEN MY JEEP AUTOMATICALLY SHUT DOWN ON A ROAD WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 55, THAT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? I AM COMPLETELY UNSATISFIED WITH MY EXPERIENCE RESOLVING THIS ISSUE, AND TO BE HONEST, I CANNOT SAY THAT IT IS RESOLVED BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NO WARNING AS TO WHETHER OR NOT IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THE PRODUCT IS NOT SAFE APPARENTLY BECAUSE THERE IS NO INDICATION AS TO WHEN THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND REQUESTED SAFER CAR, THE MANAGER SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING, ACCEPTING THE FACT THAT I DRIVE AN UNSAFE CAR.

AFTER COMING TO COMPLETE STOP, CAR ENGINE SHUTS OFF DUE TO START/STOP SYSTEM. WHEN RELEASING BREAK CAR CANNOT START BACK UP, ALL LIGHTS TURN ON, EMERGENCY BREAK IS AUTOMATICALLY ENABLED AND STALLS. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN OFF (EVEN THOUGH ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING) AND TURN BACK ON AND REMOVE THE EMERGENCY BREAK BEFORE I CAN ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BUSY INTERSECTIONS AND IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THE BATTERY WAS BAD. BATTERY WAS REPLACED BUT THE ISSUE IS NOW MORE FREQUENT.

AUTO STOP FAILED TO RESTART VEHICLE WHILE STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT. PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED AND CAR WAS UNABLE TO MOVE. HAD TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND TURN OFF VEHICLE. THEN HAD TO RESTART TO CONTINUE DRIVING.
