Backup Camera/Radio/UConnect screen is glitching to where I can no longer see the backup camera when in reverse, and can no longer see what is playing on the radio. This started happening less than 3 months ago, when the heat started ramping up. Backup camera is a safety mechanism, and while using the rear view mirrors is fine, the backup camera should work without fail.

Opened the sunroof and it won’t close. Keeps getting jammed and is stuck. Went to two jeep dealers and they said the entire roof needs replaced. No debris was in the way. Not off track. Replacing the whole dang roof. Must be electrical or mechanically broken. Want to warn others and investigate if it’s a common issue.

My touchscreen has begun to have an issue wherein the center of the screen displays as discolored, sometimes has lines running through the display, and sometimes glitches in such a way that items on the screen are in different spots than usual. The warped view of the screen is a nuisance; however, what is even more of a safety issue is that it affects the reliability of the backup camera. While of course I must still turn my head to physically look behind me while backing up, the fact that the backup camera cannot be safely used is a major defect. My car is 4 years old, has never been in any accidents or collisions, and there is no reason that the display should be malfunctioning already. I have not had this issue with the display inspected whatsoever. There were no warnings of this defect, it simply appeared one day out of nowhere about 4 weeks ago.

The screen for the back-up camera doesn't work at all. The touch screen still works if you know where everything should be on the display but there's is no visual input at all. Just a black screen. This is exceptionally dangerous in such a large vehicle because backing up without that camera could result in serious injury or death of pedestrians, especially children.
